Quote from @Lisa Broderick: If you were an expert in a particular field, what would motivate you to mentor a stranger?

What is a bit fuzzy for me is once I find that motivated seller, how/where do I find a wholesaler's contract?

Almost nothing motivates me beyond myself, but when Codie Sanchez finished this presentation, I was amped.

I would find a motivated seller yourself if possible. 

I heard people say to use Google Voice and set up a mailbox to get back to the motivated sellers, but is there a better way to handle leads when they start to come in?

Writing down my debts and seeing them become smaller over time still doesn’t compare to the feeling of being able to watch my real estate portfolio grow while I’m paying off my loans – it's an incredibly motivating process.

This opportunity fell in my lap as I know the motivated seller who is willing to sell, but I'm not sure if I can get the price that he wants for it.I don't have the property under contract yet, and this is my first wholesale deal.

It seems thus far the motivations behind most posts are cost savings.

If your hesitation is resting on inability / delay in qualifying for your second.. 1) most importatnly, you need to start with one..and househacking with low down is the best way to start. 2) buy that first one with intent of leveraging it to buy the 2nd/3rd property, IE live-in flip or find a motivated seller offering a steep discount.

Find out what is motivating them and lean in on that.
