Now, I'm not saying there isn't an argument for philanthropy, but nor do I agree that it is society's responsibility to support the lazy or unwilling.this story illustrates motivated self-interest and what happens when human behavior takes over:

Colorado Springs will remain strong.Also the CAB will produce many construction jobs over the next 4 years.

There are fewer people who qualify to rent your house because you rely on credit checks and I do not.I lower my rental price to $850 per month and my property remains occupied.

I think it will actually motivate people to get off the fence and BUY!!

It's great to see that you're motivated to take things to the next level.

Yes, you need to have a few buyers lined up before you go start generating leads, and yes, you should know what your buyers want.But, in general, there is a profile for the motivated seller that we are searching for:1) Urgency - they want to sell fast for some reason2) Property Condition - there are repairs that are preventing them from selling quickly on the retail market (MLS)3) Price Range - most of your buyers will be looking for homes within a specific price range.4) Equity - they have at least 50% equity; without that, they are *not going to be able to accept a typical investor offer.

Need help , need motivation, need a friend to talk to, need someone to market your deals, etc.

If the employer moved to another side of town, the city numbers remain the same.Some neighborhoods expand while others grow older and decline.

Do mean as far as leads on motivated sellers, vacant property owners, how often to re-mail to those that haven't respond or how often to add to the list?

Be mindful of that and do what you can to stay motivated (goal setting, networking, reading books, staying active here on the forums, etc.)Hope this helps, see you around the forums Kenny!
