Lead Shirpa is a great skip tracing service Yes you can target motivated sellers.We just made 43k from a Post card inquiry.

I did it 2 years ago. rarely get cold called/texted on tons of parcels owned. 

Locate a Motivated Seller that will consider Seller Financing.

I plan on getting the text message when they are.

Better yet, accept the fact that there are always going to be the poor, and a good number of these people - especially in class-movable societies like the US - are going to be there because they aren't motivated enough to do anything further. 

For over the past month I have not been able to get ahold of Jeff Beach, he will not reply to email, text or phonecalls. 

A motivated nosey neighbor might try to make an appt to see the property, but in general that doesn't happen too often and agents don't want to waste their time with time-wasters like that.

By working with motivated sellers, I’m able to secure below-market deals and pass those savings onto buyers.

Just for numbers sake, there are some YouTubers doing 10,000 calls, 10s of thousands text messages and 10,000 mailers a month.

Don't buy a 2br/1ba without a basement and no garage on a corner lot next to the scrap yard, just because it's cheap and the seller is motivated.
