The main thing is to find motivated sellers before they list their homes with a Realtor.

Your argument on market motive, to be true, would mean Super-8's would be doing gangbusters, and there not.

Are you primarily motivated by the idea of ownership in the assets rather than someone else owning and managing it?

I'm looking for a team, an agent that with knowledge both on/off market deals/neighborhoods insight.....good GC, efficient and can accommodate multiple jobs and property manager with that is experience in section 8 housing.Appreciate hearing from you. 

If you're going to do that and want cash flow, you'll very likely need to at least make some cosmetic improvements to the units to raise the rents and then manage efficiently.

After securing a deal, your focus will shift to closing, finding tenants, and setting up efficient management.If you haven’t already, building relationships with local agents, contractors, and property managers in PA can save you a lot of time and hassle

My motivation for a washer and dryer is based on the ease for cleaners to be able to turn the house as easy as possible and I did not even consider what guests would want. 

Markets are relatively efficient and the strong cashflow days were 5+ years ago.

If not, then serve the non-renewal and prepare to turn the unit as efficiently as possible to reduce costs and vacancy.

Main questions should ask about the seller's:- Reasons/Motivations for wanting to sell- Desired timeline to close- Plan's after selling (relocation, reinvesting proceeds, 1031 exchange, etc)- Back-up plan in case they are unable to sell within the desired timeline- Reasons for not already selling to/with a investor or RealtorAdditional questions will depend on the type of seller lead i.e. pre-foreclosure, probate, fsbo, absentee owner, etc.Here is an example of a youtube search you can use to begin finding call recordings.There are 1,000s and you'll find that the best/most effective ones don't even sound like sales calls.
