Takes some time for sure, and if you're going to door knock than it takes a certain amount of chutzpah too,  but takes very little money and if you get someone motivated to sell (with equity)...you'll find a buyer for the property.

I had one of the tenants, sign a 7 day notice on the off chance they would pay.Today is the last day to pay and I haven't heard from them, except for a text message from a relative of theirs saying that I needed to let them pay late or they would drag out the eviction process.

I started listening to the Bigger Pockets podcast six months ago which has been a motivating force. 

Send me a text sometime; I never got this message.

If your motivation is due to the fact that they are military then you need to get more serious about your business decisions.  

My knowledge of real estate investment is still very basic, if someone could explain "Motivated Seller Leads".

What is your motivation for buying a personal residence??

I like your motivation, good job

I'm 26 years old, hyper-motivated, and extremely curious about joining the world of real estate and real estate development.

If you have any specific questions, you can always send me a message or ask here and I will respond.Basically, for a mom and pop property to work, you need a motivated seller.
