I'm not sure if I could gain enough cash flow from that to pay my mortgage on another home, but I would like to do that if possible.I am very new to real estate investment, but I'm very motivated, and this is the direction I would like to move in.

Today I had my first motivated call and would like some help on determining value.I am in Tampa and the market is really rising fast in some areas.

Maybe not the best decision but the cash I spent on it motivated me even more to take action.

Just chatting here has motivated me to keep pushing!!

Sean BrennanPerhaps you aren't approaching motivated enough sellers?

and Im in the business and working hard. no deals yet, but with all the free info out there... you just need sit back, take notes and learn. everything you need is out there except motivation, which i guess is what those coaches really do.

Seller is motivated due to lapse of insurance coverage 3 days before Sandy hit.

I understand wholesalers are at times a little more persuaded towards seller financing because of cash crunches or because of life goals/farm areas motivate holding seller financed properties in rental portfolio.

Ibrahim S I was able to find the owner and I am know in the process of negotiating for the property.But usually I will wait to talk to the owner first to see how much they owe( if they are motivated they are wiling to give all the info) instead of doing a limited lien without really knowing if I will be buying the propertythanks

Those remain the sort of things you just shouldn't do.
