Generally: 1) you need to call a list of LIKELY motivated sellers like high equity, seller/property of a certain age, inside your buy box, notice of default/liens/etc. 2) You need to make an enticing pitch, "Hi Mr Seller, I'm Gus and I work at ABC Solutions, a local family owned business that helps sellers get cash fast for their homes, would you be interested in an all-cash offer for your home?

Your returns sound pretty enticing.
