I have really stepped up my lead generation and have several sellers who are ready to offload their properties at good prices but I am currently stuck in a place where I need financial resources to make quick offers.  

We are at a 50 year low and 2022 we had a housing supply/sales recession (see here for my post on supply/demand).

The good news is that once you gain some traction and close a few deals you can hire a VA to help at least make the initial calls and hand off only the sellers interested in an offer 

You cannot simply close with buyer (like all gurus say) then turn around and pay seller then transfer title to buyer- That is ILEGAL A way around this in case you cannot get transactional funding - Have your closing attorney draw up a Promissory not in submission to the buyer in which you will secure your equitable interest within the contract to the buyer...

Let's say a seller is willing to take a subject to offer on their property.

Went directly to the seller's agent.

I think this is spot on.The only other aspect now that's going to change even more so is the seller needs to be very careful who they list with.

The home needs pretty major renovations, but in my opinion would be worth it *if* the seller is willing to come down significantly on their asking price.

The industrial inventory is surprisingly low and the demand is still quite high.

Insurance won't let us bind until they are remediated and the seller is not willing to help.
