My first property, I worked with someone who had no kids, no debt, and a good amount of savings and was tired of the <1% return in the bank.

I'm tired of looking at my computer all day as well so I know the feeling.

Owner's daughter was going to rehab this, but after putting in new boiler, new gas line, cover original hardwood floor with cheap blue carpet, and hodge podge kitchen (with 3 different cabinets), she got tired and wants to get out.

Some neighborhoods you can stand on a street and look both ways and see 3 or 4 houses under construction (infill developments) and most are already pre-sold before they finish completion.Now, obviously the OP and you were discussing areas up a little further in the county, and as you mentioned they are quite different than the areas I am talking about, but I think the biggest difference comes from people tired of the commute into DC from areas further out.

owner wants to liquidate rental propertiesMotivation age/tired of managing properties.How do I wholesale a property that's tenant occupied?

My last house was bought as a 'maybe flip' as I knew it was a fixer upper and was unsure as to how long I'd be staying in NY....turns out it was a year and a half and I'm about to put it on the market, after turning it around from a tired, neglected mess to a little jewel box.

. :)Sorry for any mistakes in my writing or any left out info, I'm fairly tired...

The buy/sell would also be handled by two real estate agents.I ask because I'm drawing up an offer where the seller has indicated interest in financing, and while I don't want to complicate things (it may scare them, they are older and tired of the property) I do want to have all of my ducks in a row.

My understanding of "Driving for $$" is to target homes that are vacant/abandoned or in disrepair to hopefully grab a tired homeowner with a motivation to sell.

She's tired of the upkeep and her kids have moved on.
