How would You Proceed Possible Motivated Seller # 2

[David Telp]

A freind of mine is a landscaper and a customer of his told him he wants to sell his home for sale by owner.  I spoke to the gentleman and he said he recently purchased a house down south that needs work on it and needs the money to move down there and fix it up. He says he has had offers but they are not near what he wants for the house.  He says the house is paid off.   He bought the house in 1979 for 58,000 according to the county website and the house was assessed for 136,000 then.  He has put a lot of work in it since then and now wants 189,900? All his information points to a motivated seller but he may need a few more months to become really motivated.  Should I persue?  Your thoughts?
