its not a VA Loan @Brent Coombs . It was my VA ( Virtual Assistant) that passed this on to me. 

I am supposed to call them today. Hopefully it goes well. 

Thanks @Jeremy Tillotson for the help!

Below are notes my VA sent me on a lead. Not sure what to do. Any advice?

Asking Price:  $70,000 

Least Price:  Let me see what you can offer but I can work with the price for you.
Repairs:  No need to.  Everything is being repaired when he bought it.  It has dining and living room.  Fully furnished and all furnitures go with the house.  Fully carpeted.  New Air conditioning.  Brand new toilets.  All brand new doors and are up to date.
Vacant:  It's been vacant for 3 months now and they're just renting a whole apartment.
Reason for Selling:  Hospital Issues with wife.  Movin and they already have a house targetted.  They just need the money for down payment.
Mortgage:  YES Amount Owed:  $22,000

If we can agree on a price and we accept all responsibility for future repairs, would you consider a lease purchase?
Answer:  NO.  Just want to sell it fast. Need cash ASAP.

So if you're saying if you don't get full price and all cash you won't sell?
Answer:  YES but as I've said I can work on the price with you.

My NOTES:

This person is really motivated to sell.  He doesn't want to put the property on the market and list it with investor or realtor.  If this is what we're doing, he doesn't want it.  He just want to sell the property as soon as possible.  He doesn't have email address as he is never good with computers.  No fax number too.  If you want to make an offer, you can call him back tomorrow 10a.m. and he will be willing to listen to what you can offer.  

I didn't know they had one maybe @Josh James knows. 

How does one find sellers via Tax records? I was talking to someone about Marketing and they mentioned that sellers can be found by searching the tax records.  I have no idea how one can do this. Can anyone explain?

I read the post in the past about Zbuyer but I wanted to know if anyone has had any recent success/failure with them within the last 6 months or so.  They are calling me....ALOT and I am considering it...just dont know if it is worth it. 

@Kristina Mcleroy do a search of @John Jackson on this forum and check out his post. Also check out his website. It is very doable and you can learn just about everything from what he teaches. 

Thx @Antonio Coleman . I just ventured into that area and plan on putting tons of focus into that. 

Does anyone do online marketing as their main method of marketing for sellers. How is that working out for you and how long did it take to get a steady flow of seller leads?
