Also you seem to be motivated to build since you already have these lots. 

Since most people who are not actively seeking a sale are not motivated to sell at anything other than a top of the line price, this is going to be a numbers game of x thousands of contacts for every potentially doable deal.  

It’s very motivating to hear how you did it!

Unfortunately looking like this specific deal likely won't pan out; seller is definitely not motivated to offload quickly/discounted based on their replies.I found a realtor through BP who I'm now working with to find a property, so progress in the right direction!

Sounds like you have the motivation & ambitious but precise goals.

Understanding their motivations allows you to frame your offer in a way that aligns with their goals.

I would find some motivation seeing how long it takes to stabilize a portfolio and start to see the profit.

I have never been to a Tony Robbins event (and no big interest tbh) but it seems Rod used some of the ideas that he placed between MF investing topics to keep people motivated.

The Tenant texts LULA and the AI behind it troubleshoots issues, and dispatches trusted vendors for required repairs. 

Make sure you are highly dedicated and motivated to take action.
