If they are not motivated, there is nothing you can do.

Borrego Springs had an incredible super bloom this spring.The Salton Sea area has an air pollution problem from chemical spraying from nearby farms and the town surrounding the sea is very run down.

The seller for this property is motivated because he never intended to be a landlord and wants to move to Florida.I want to try to get him to understand all of the expenses that I need to incur as an investor and that my offer price comes down to the number my spreadsheet shoots out basically.

I listen to his stuff because it entertaining, funny and motivational but would I put my hard-earned money into one of his deals.

And unfortunately  as you must know in the NYC metro you are rarely to going to go higher than 8% cap unless it’s in disastrous condition, or a motivated seller. 5.

Hey Gavin, It sounds like you're incredibly driven at a young age, which is commendable.

I can buy a house for 25k.We just bought a DWMH with land for 6k from a motivated seller.Put that money to better use like purchasing a list of owners and doing some direct marketing.Drive for dollars in your town and look for distressed or vacant houses, MH's, Land and send the owner a letter.

@Jeremy H.This was so thorough and actually incredibly helpful.

Hi Christina, I've personally found Columbus Ohio to be an incredibly promising market, especially for fix and flip investments.

Hi TJ,I always suggest to clients that they take a look at homes in their market to see what other flippers are doing.Here a couple of example properties that you could look at and / or contact the listing agent for more information.This property is currently listed at $639,997 and sold for $375,000 on 1/18/2024.https://www.redfin.com/NJ/Bloomfield/465-Beardsley-Ave-07003...Another one to look at is this one that is listed at $694,850 and sold for $485,000 on 2/20,2024.https://www.redfin.com/NJ/Maplewood/77-Rutgers-St-07040/home...Hopefully this gives you some confidence and motivation!
