I agree with PNW, I would also look for distressed properties (minor cosmetics only) and motivated sellers to add instant equity.

I’m highly motivated and willing to intern in the right situation.

This site will help countless investors stay motivated and help one another avoid pitfalls that they may have struggled with .

I like the system myself and recommend all my students consider it as part of their marketing mix for locating motivated sellers.

What you are lookling for si a truly motivated seller - one that is willing to sell their house at 50-60 cents on the dollar.

I am in a 3 month program to kick start my business with a very successful local investor and he has provided us with a lot of his materials he used while wholesaling and I know him personally and it worked for him so I am NOT trying to re-invent the wheel but I know my competition in they area and they are respected, honest and have been in this business longer - although they tend to rehab their projects but one of my targets is the motivated homeowner and its theirs too!

Hey-- I did a search on this and got some info on property tax liens and irs liens generally, but what I'm interested in is if anyone has targeted these homeowners specifically to try to buy their houses.Should be pretty motivated, but obviously you'll have to deal with the IRS or Property Tax Lien-- either try to negotiate down if it's an IRS or will prob just have to pay it off if property tax.

If he's a landlord... he's not an idiot (well maybe some are)...So this means... either one he has some-type of motivation aka need money, rate reset, law suits, or moving to Zimbabwe (JK on that part)... you need to find this out...What I've ran across is... alot of "land lords" want to dick use investors around because they want to just - "see how much they can get"...So finding out motivtional level is huge.

We are locating motivated sellers and negotiating deals at 50-70% of ARV.

Put yourself in the shoes of a motivated seller.
