I first look to understand more about their situation and potential motivators/pain points.

Some questions I have: What sort of property investing have you seen work in the south?

It's certainly a creative way to source motivated property owners, but it can also lead to manipulative tactics/practices from others by utilizing their unfortunate situation, leaving a sour feeling in my gut. 

Happy Friday everyone,I am a young motivated real estate investor with goals of owning hundreds of real estate properties in my lifetime.

I guess if I'm giving the designer anymore credit it's that his motivation is in line with ours. 

How would I go about finding someone to help run these out of area leads and we could work out some sort of split if they could lock up the property and find it an end Buyer.

I'm 25yo and motivated to grow my rental portfolio so I can replace my W2 income.

My employees wash their vehicles and muddy equipment every day and they put a massive amount of rocks, nuts and bolts, wood and all sorts of debris into the pump and it never failed one time.Since my pump handles both rain water and the water my employees use to wash their equipment every day I installed a specially made system with electronic valves that makes the water they wash their equipment go into a sediment and filter box and then into the city sewer system and when it rains the electronic valves have a sensor that detects water coming from the roof drain downspouts and valves switch to make the water from the parking lot go into the street.

Put motivated sellers on the list and non-motivated sellers off of the list.But think about it.

If a deal aligns with your strategy and financial objectives, then it could be a great opportunity regardless of the motivations of the realtor involved.As for advice for a beginner, it sounds like you're already taking proactive steps by planning a trip to scope out neighborhoods and define your buy box area.
