Ooooh, one more question: For those of you working within Washington State, do you have favorite tools/venues to find off-market opportunities, or do you do it the "usual" ways (research, hunting for "motivated" sellers, driving for dollars, building up connections with people in the know, etc.)?

Locate a Motivated Seller that will consider Seller Financing.

You are one the people that motivated me to take action. 

Hey @Darrell Spencer - props to you for being motivated to get into real estate!

If you stick to traditional wholesaling finding motivated sellers can be difficult and it is harder to compete with cash buyers if you must finance. 

I’m very motivated but unfortunately do not the have the capital yet(working on that).

But ultimately I'm interested in what you explain as tax defaulting highly motivated sellers and have that as my means of acquiring cheap rentals and refinancing them after being made "rent ready".

I find motivated sellers through a unique marketing strategy and analyze the potential of the home. 

On today’s show, we interview Melissa Johnson—house flipper extraordinaire and owner of the company Lead Propeller, a service that provides websites to help motivated sellers find real estate investors. 

Motivated sellers and the buyers or tenant buyers on the backend.Next you need to decide your marketing and campaign strategy.
