The lower interest rates on a Green loan should be motivation enough if you value cash flow.

Subject To deals are most likely to work w/ motivated sellers.

Before that, most people are paying to get motivated and then don't want to do the work.

Multiple factors influenced our decision but seems like it’s going to be our best move for the family and financially.

Then is cash is tight find a property where the seller is motivated to sell or maybe it has been sitting on the MLS and has a high DOM.

Motivated sellers will have to price aggressively to stand out in a crowded market so there will be deals to be had if the current trends continue. 

Off-market opportunities can be good because there is less competition, finding motivated sellers is the challenge.

it sounds like this family has no money and will be unable to relocate without the motivation of the impending eviction.

(Not that they actually set mortgage rates - but they influence them.)You now know that as you look at 2/1 houses that anything priced near or above $145,000 isn’t worth pursuing in the short term… so you look for ones that are cheaper than that.  

I mean your story is not only motivating, but it’s unbelievable practical, humbling, and again phenomenal.
