But use all techniques you know to get it in front of as many people as possible. 

For this reason, I use the rent/cost ratio as my primary rental valuing technique and the cap rate as second due to the major contingent factors with renting a SFH (quality of management and simple variance).

I want to implement the same strategy with a motivated seller but reluctant to have the sellers continue their responsibility for major maintenance concerns (a technique many investors use in their contracts). 

I have to wonder if it is one of the techniques that may have been eliminated by the "new econonomy" but I am curious if it may still be a legal and viable option.

What I did can not be duplicated by others, my techniques and approach may be duplicated, but techniques and an approach can never yield the same results.

Using this technique I have been able to get thousands of dollars worth of training for FREE!  

I have had success with this technique in getting short sales approved. 

I understand exactly what you're talking about it is also known as "analysis paralysis" the only way to get over it is to get out there and start putting some techniques you learned into place!

However, I hope your techniques and suggestions will apply for most everywhere.

:) If you haven't already Sean Terry's downloadable book has some pretty good information in there as well I am planning on "borrowing" a few of his techniques to market for sellers :D
