Probate vs AOH states & Market selection
Hey team, just signed up for the VIP program and have a question I didn't see was answered in modules (maybe addressed in cohort?) but I'm trying to pin down which market to start investing in I'm from Chicago (traveling abroad) but am an out of state investor in Birmingham, AL. Was asking Claude questions to help narrow down which market to target and it ended up with this response. Neither AL nor IL is a clean "AOH state" — both are conditional/title-insurer-dependent. The real differentiator for your curative work in each state is less "which one allows AOH" and more "which title insurers/attorneys in that market are willing to underwrite based on heirship documentation vs requiring full probate or quiet title." That's a relationship question with local title companies and attorneys, not a statutory lookup. ----------------------------- So CT investing really is more about attorneys and title companies than AOH vs Probate state? I understand that deals can be done in probate states but timeline-wise I assume we want to focus on AOH/Pre-Probate friendly markets where there are creative ways to not go thru probate?
