Yea this site is a great resource and like you say, the Podcasts are also great for continued motivation.

@Carlton PerkinsThank you, in my opinion they were not very motivated yet however will be soon as they cant afford 2 mortgages.

I found BP, been devouring the amazing podcasts and resources, went to a local meet up and am beyond inspired and motivated to take action.

A tax lien state you are bidding on properties knowing that the large majority of properties will get redeemed and you will get a small percentage of properties.Most wholesalers buy lists of addresses and send out a mass mailing trying to connect directly with a motivated seller before their property goes to a public auction or gets on MLS.

It was more motivational than practical, I don’t feel like I could flip houses as easily as they promote at this point, they do upsale the software and the advanced training as essential but you would have to invest more money 

Sometimes it depends on seller's motivation and reason.

We look for things like motivation and willingness to learn.One way Experienced Investors judge to work with Novice Investors is to see if the Novice Investors prove their motivation.Novice Investors Posting that you would love to meet Experienced Investors and hoping that the OP of this thread will pick up the reins and coordinate a group meeting with a good mix of both Experienced and Novice Investors will only demonstrate to Experienced Investors that they will probably not want to work with that particular Novice Investor(s).Although I'm breaking a rule by pointing out to Novice Investors a simple fix to prove their motivation, I just have to say it.When you don't have much to bring to the table AND you wish to network with Investors that bring a lot to the Table, then you have to use what is in your power to attract those that can benefit you.

How motivated are they?  

On the plus side, the seller was super motivated and wanted to leave ASAP.

Check out my profile and read through some of the posts where I rant and motivate people that are 20-40 years old saying that age is just a number and telling them life experiences they never had.
