It seems often that people will dwell on books, articles, podcasts and other sources and really just need a bit of personal motivation by peers to get out there and take that risk to start gaining those Street Smarts. 

its fine if they do as its not my main motivation for getting my licence but keen to understand how it all works.Any advice from someone who's done this already would be appreciated.Thanks

If other tenants are not complaining, what is your motivation for this course of action?

I myself am a second generation Mexican and have been motivated to learning as much as I can about real estate by reading books, forums, and listening to podcasts such as the one you were featured on.  

Remember this: the answer is ALWAYS no when you ask.Having said that, I've been able to get several seller finance deals.You need to have a motivated seller who doesn't need the money at sale.

But young, broke, and hungry lots of times has the future in their eyes, their motivated and determined.   

If I get motivated enough in the near future I may do more research and experimentation with it.  

Further, only a minority of sellers will be interested or motivated to offer a significant discount for a 7 day no contingency sale.

Some syndicators are mostly motivated by the acquisition fee. 

It really depends how motivated you are.
