Once you've got the strategy sorted out, read everything you fan find here on the site about it, and of course, ask questions.

I got a call from a very motivated seller and gave him two options: buy at a deep discount or buy with terms and terms it was.

He is getting his pay as 15% of the profit on sale so he gets paid when we do, so he's motivated to do the job well and on-time and within budget.

There are some really helpful wholesalers here who really understand the marketing aspects and how to find motivated sellers and end buyers.

I hear folks saying that there's no business model for full retail priced leads if you are not an agent.A yellow letters campaign turns up MORE of these types of leads than motivated sellers who will sell to an investor in todays market.

From what I have seen, most Sub-2 deals come from pre-forclosure sellers motivated to move on.

ps...not looking to rehab or flip, but people to do minor repairs stuff, painting, carpeting that sort of stuff.

Hey BP,I'm encountering a lot of leads who have high equity in their homes but the current value is a lot lower than what they purchased it for, so they are reluctant to sell at a price that works for me (60-75% minus repairs of market value).My question is, is there a strategy out there to try to convert these leads to a deal or is this just the way of the land and a deal will come when proper motivation is present?

Thus, if it’s not going to be earned income, than it had to be passive income of some sort.

The only way I would do this deal is if I had some sort of insider information that something big was going to happen that would increase the value substantially no matter what.
