I have a motivated seller that has not been able to sell his house after it being on the market for 6 months.

My husband and I are interested in learning about real estate and are very motivated to start flipping houses.

I understand that it is best to utilize these types of agreements with a motivated seller and when there is obvious deferred maintenance to the property.

I have a senior absentee homeowner in N.J. is super motivated to sell her Co Op in a 55+ community in WPB, FL for $28K...........I have absolutely no experience in Co Op's.

For instance, when I started, it was difficult to identify if someone was motivated or just a tire kicker (not really interested in selling).  

If you think otherwise or have a plan you wish to share, I would love to hear as it may be the missing link to boost all motivation towards the rental genre.With this being said, and my apologies for the long story and the hijacking of this thread., I wish the best in your endeavors and to a successful journey that lies ahead!

I think I am starting to figure this out due to all the great help here on BP and some great books on SDIRAs too, but just want to make sure as we are some serious talks with a motivated seller about our next purchases.I understand the concept that when I use leverage in the form of a non-recourse loan in a SDIRA that their will be tax due on the percent of profits that are *related to that financing*.

I have a friend I know that is trying to get rid of his moble home and I don't know much about the niche or if there is profit in it. Hes willing to sell for extremely cheap and just wants the thing out of this life. ...

But clearly by the $10,000 price discounts each month you certainly have a motivated seller.

-i searched on google maps and it has this amazing feature that allows you to see the street in "3D" so with the mouse on my computer i "drove" around the neighborhood i would like to wholesale in, (where i think the best deals FOR THE BUYER) will be, not for my personal gain. with wholesaling, when doing research on properties, its easy to get excited about what you can potentially make, but anyone who has read "think and grow rich" knows that any profit is a reward. my motivation for wholesaling houses in the "hood" is because it is my home.
