Finding Motivated Sellers

[Melissa Webb]

OK, so now I have my Real Estate Team (Title Co, Attorney, Agent, Tax Advisor, etc) my LLC is set up, I have end users, spent way too much money on "classes, coaches and Mentors" that didn't (or couldn't) answer my questions, some cash and great credit. My goal for now is wholesaleing. I'm ready to pull the trigger, but I am having the darndest time finding motivated sellers. I have tried the traditional advertising, but still no takers (most just want to sell for a profit and get into a bigger place). And I have looked into REO's and short sales, however the banks have not been cooperative. Right now they seem content to keep their non performing assets and taking the government's bail out money. Any Ideas or other forums I should be looking at?

Thanks!
