In short it's this: Seller is facing foreclosure nightmare.

@Chris Seveney The types of leads I'm targeting are absentee owners, vacant properties, pre-foreclosures, tax delinquencies, and probates. 

@Diana Teng have you thought about looking into the Foreclosure Market especially if you are thinking about buying rentals in Ohi?

Its like a short-sale, its better than a foreclosure but has downsides as well. 

Not as many hotels in the area except next to some ski resorts but during covid it got crazy. we bought one for $25k at a foreclosure sale in 2015 and could not give it away in 2019 for $50k then in 2021 we sold it for over $120k. 

I bought a 3/2 1500sqft foreclosure in Ormond Beach Florida.

This means, on average, that this person is facing foreclosure or bankruptcy, and has no other reasonable options.

You can offer the holder of a lien a smaller cash amount to buy the lien and then force foreclosure, so that the buyer pays you off. 

I discovered this property through an acquaintance when it was nearing the end of pre-foreclosure.

Is this for props that have a foreclosure filing against them so you can get to the actual owners for a pre foreclosure purchase ?
