So they mainly reach out to motivated leads who’ve shown interest or fit their criteria.

We bought the property at below market rate because the seller was motivated and needed to close quickly.

Typically we get the deals for cheap from motivated seller, bank liquidations, or through our network.

The bigger problem in Ithaca is that property values are so high, there's not a lot of motivation (or financial room after purchase) for landlords to keep their units updated and nice.

Quote from @Aaron Lawrence: Could be that the sellers are still suspicious you have some ulterior motive or bias (not saying you do). 

My over all question is, are you seeing the financial gain or find it motivating to continue?

@Hamidreza Rajabzadeh Oghaz you're probably looking at a Class A or B property, which no longer cashflow at purchase - unless you find a really motivated seller!

I have experience in REI for 10 years now and I would be more than happy to share whatever I can to help motivated beginners like yourself!

They are really motivated!

No doubt the Scottsdale market is very saturated with short term rentals, but it is obvious to me that the underperforming properties are homes that are not designed properly, not photographed properly, not optimized properly, and not priced properly.I'm also fully aware of the mountain of headaches and heartaches that will come with running a business like this.. but I'm here for the challenge.Shout out to BP because a big part of what motivated me to take this journey and where I got a lot of the education needed to do this is via a weekly mastermind that I'm a part of that I found through a post in this community a few years back.Anyways, not sure who cares or if anybody out there has any thoughts, questions, comments etc.
