Be on the look-out for your 'target seller' and strike up conversations.  

Strike up some conversations and see who you meet.As for having a Realtor, you might use them to help you find leads (although leads on the MLS are slim pickings these days), but you definitely want them when it's time to list your property after it's been rehabbed.I would also add a CPA to your dream team.

If they can't do it in that time, I step in and buy it for my strike price.  

Before doing that, you may want to seek out an active builder... and strike a deal.

You can usually call an appraiser and strike up a conversation and simply what vacancy runs for types of properties in the area.

Your charges don't strike me as unreasonable.

Don't pressure them in the videos, but by the third video give them a reason to call for the no obligation assessment of their particular situation.In 3 days you'll have more of a relationship with them than any other home buyer.Again, I don't buy homes and 3 days may be too long, but the idea is to get them to contact you for information so that you can build trust in short period of time.I'm not offended by anyone else striking these ideas down or improving them.

We want to strike quickly and take action, but we know that we don’t want to jump into a disastrous deal.

This is your time to strike.  

Assuming you are comfortable with the numbers on the deal and have done due diligence -I agree it is best to strike while the iron is hot - with concern he goes a different direction and you squander the lead.
