I know they're good deals because my team has evaluated them.The investors and wholesalers who waded up to these folks in 4 feet of water offering them lot value for their home as they desperately tried to salvage anything at all from their homes is what gave them a bad taste for investors.

Put a large sign in your front yard and more signs on the road that say:Owner Desperate, Must Sell Now Call 555-555-5555Offer owner financing also and you will not have trouble getting rid of the property.

But, you never know how desperate they are to unload, so I'd give it a try.

The owner is DESPERATE to get rid of this house so that she can move out of state.

Leads and franchise fees If someone is desperate to pay franchise fees, they don't have to join HomeVestors -- they can just send me the money directly, no strings attached!

I don't mind doing sweat equity nor does my son and his family, we just need MORE room it is crowded here lol.....Once I get that settled I am looking (or should say still looking) to get back into Real Estate Investments, I am networking here in Lakewood and found a couple of Investors who can steer me in the right direction, found a couple of other newbies as well who are now here thanks to me referring them lol, and still listening to the Podcasts that I find concerning Real Estate Investing which I am learning alot, thanks Brad for the connections, but as I said above I was trying to fix my credit score,  but instead of going up it went down to a low score of 503, it finally went back up and I am hoping it still goes up, but as I said I am in desperate need of getting out of this apartment into something bigger.

Don't be desperate by chasing after her. 

Because it was the dead of winter and we didn't want to leave the house unoccupied, we found a young couple with 2 small children that desperately wanted to lease the home with an option to buy at the end of the lease (24 months). 

The tenant is most likely desperate as he hasn't found a job and getting back rent will be almost impossible.

Any applicants willing to take it as-is, and believe a landlord who says it will be fixed sometime in the future - is a desperate tenant who will cause you problems.
