My goals consist of starting out with Single family (already have my first deal picked out, and in negotiations) then quickly moving into Multifamily and then growing it from there.I do my research and I'm always expanding my knowledge, I don't do anything with out full commitment and I'm looking for the same from a partner.I've always had a way of finding deals in my life (eBay, Amazon, Facebook, Craigslist, etc. ) and I'm more motivated than ever to find them since being introduced to real estate investing. 

I’m new to the whole real estate business and I’m more interested in wholesaling...What is the best way to find motivated sellers?!?

Super motivated by his story and approach to investing.

Sophisticated CRM and follow up systems.3. 2 to 3 or more closers ( real people that the second the lead came in they were pounding on the door) now you will have others on BP who qualify folks on the phone and only work the with most motivated.. and I suppose that works were you have little competition or your competition for inventory is not keen.. these folks were in bigger MSAs.4.

What are other alternatives to find motivated sellers?

I’m also going to add a list of 400 new motivated sellers every month to continue to contact monthly & build my leads up.

Unless the seller is extremely motivated would you do that deal yourself?

If you can't, the 10% management fee is generally a bit high, but I'd keep it because you need to hire a motivated and high quality local property manager who will take this on.  

Agree on most of comments - step 1 is understanding the seller motivation.   

I've run into one of these where someone has the home in trust or was just holding it because they have no motivation to sell.
