MLS. no special negotiations, just found a seller that was motivated.

I’ll look into them.Has anyone ever heard of any internal goals set by the VA or VRMCO that motivates them to get a house off their books by a certain date?

Experienced investors often see the holiday season as an opportunity due to reduced competition and motivated sellers willing to negotiate for faster closings.

The other motivating factor here (for me) is that I want to move my mom into one of the units so she's close by.

By find a solution to aid me for the mean time, like unemployment benefits etc.Please if you do comment with ideas or suggestions to be motivating.

Otherwise, you can end up being a motivated seller which is exactly what you do NOT want to have happen. 

I found this deal through a conversation with other condo owners, who mentioned that the seller was motivated to sell.

If it's listed on the MLS there's motivation.

I am particularly interested in:Understanding the fundamentals of wholesalingNavigating Texas-specific real estate laws and regulationsBuilding a strong network of cash buyers and motivated sellersLearning effective marketing strategiesAnalyzing and evaluating dealsIf anyone is willing to share their experiences, tips, or resources, I would greatly appreciate it.

Tax writeoffs are a big motivator for sure but not my sole reason for being in real estate.It sounds like investing in a condo in a place like Branson may be one of the only viable options for me, basically I'm looking to diversify to have more than just LTR's at this moment.
