I am motivated by all of the realistic exchange of information I read here that seems to be lacking at a lot of other sites.

Furthermore I cannot get a job as I am here on a tourist visa.I am literally spending 100% of my time trying to find motivated/desperate sellers.

Sort of what I am in the process of doing for REI.I've been playing this little ETF lately.

you know i often wondered this myself.I think a national MLS could be an invaluable tool for a REI.it wouldnt take much to develop a nation system of this sort to be honest. getting folks to use it might though.

The best way to find motivated sellers is to market to find them.

The "we buy houses" sort of folks in your area?

I have had my fill of dealing with "motivated sellers" who really don't want to sell.So I am glad to have found this forum and I hope I can contribute some.

These are bad and should be removed.Gas furnaces of any sort must have both good venting so the combustion gas exits the house, and must have a good supply of combustion air.Jon

Just remember not to be a motivated buyer yourself. wait for a good deal and take that one.Good luck!

Correct me if I'm wrong:1.A wholesaler finds the deal from a motivated seller. 2.Secures the deal with a "subject to" purchase agreement. 3.Flips the contract over to another investor.I understand between 2 &3 the wholesaler is marketing the property to investors, but what is he telling the seller all the while.
