I wouldn't sweat it- he obviously isn't motivated.

So far a great read - motivational, vital info, and a must read. 

We've exchanged a few emails and he sounds like a very motivated seller.

You have to ask yourself what you are trying to achieve. 

Hey biggerpockets, I finally bought my first list to market to motivated sellers, I am mailing only to out of state absentee owners with 60-100 percent equity who own property within 10 miles of my town.

I am looking forward to asking more questions, learning about real estate investing, and working toward achieving my goal.   :-)  

Some say that what I achieve is too good to be true.    

My goals are very high for Real Estate, because I believe in always having very big goals set for oneself, that way you're always striving to achieve it and be bigger and better.

Katherine, instead of waiting for "available properties" that everyone and their brother and all the real estate investors in NH are looking at, why not do your own marketing for motivated sellers? 

Your rent needs to be at least 1% or higher if you want to achieve better cashflow.
