For buyers, the current environment offers the chance to negotiate better deals, particularly in areas where sellers are more motivated.

Please send me a message.Hi Gage, you have a lot of experienced people on BP willing to help, but they are not going to be motivated by a free meal.

HHI is seasonal and some sellers get motivated to sell late fall through the end of the year.

You want them to earn as much revenue for you as possible and them to be motivated to do that.

Some people need a bunch of connection for motivation and others are self-starters needing very little to get going.

Hearing stories from others who were in similar situations was also a big motivator for me.

The motivation of a government agency for example can be based on a public servants wanting of revenge, desire for increased visibility or even political ambition.  

Driving for dollars and attending local real estate meetups can help you find motivated sellers and build relationships.

We want copies of leases and spend hours combing through the intricate details; we want to know the seller’s  “motivation”, we want to know long term economic forecasts for the community, the state, the U.S.  

You can also point out how the state of their property could potentially lower property values in the area, which might motivate them to take action.In the meantime, putting up a fence is a solid idea to at least create a pleasant and private space for your tenants.
