I have a friend who has acquired numerous single family houses cash and has some nice passive income coming in now.

@Phillip Dwyer Thanks for the invite!

In talks with my mentor who has done this numerous times, as long as you are making the payments, the bank does not care who owns the property and will not call the note due.

I want people to be able to utilize my relationship building skills and my ability to get across from numerous people at one time.

It seems as though all the inspector here in phoenix want to make a killing Definitely I want to invite you for a beer sometime so we can talk about this person to person.

Thank you for the invite Michael.

Many suggests cold calling, door knocking, and farming your base etc but after listening to numerous podcasts I'm hearing that door knocking and the "beggar" approach isn't necessary with proper marketing but that's where they left you hanging.

I can give you anecdotal evidence - there were numerous 1BRs that sold for below 100k around 2010, for example on Summer St and Glenbrook road.

Has anyone ever been invited to dinner to discuss a property with an motivated seller?

I have been absorbing them and have heard numerous episodes that address your very question.
