The idea that that could be me excites and motivates me. 

I am in the process of looking for my first property and this has been an extra bit of motivation!

So I thought it would be cool to share my first experience in hopes that it may influence others. 

Do they seem too eager or not motivated?  

You should have a typical septic system inspected at least every 3 years by a professional and your tank pumped as recommended by the inspector, generally every 3 to 5 years.Four major factors influence the frequency of pumping: the number of people in your household, the amount of wastewater generated (based on the number of people in the household and the amount of water used), the volume of solids in the wastewater (for example, using a garbage disposal increases the amount of solids), and septic tank size.

I believe that the listing agent is the one that has the real motivation to keep the deposit.

I work with probate motivated sellers a lot and many of them don't need the monthly cash flow because the homes are owned free and clear and  have no mortgages on them.

So far I understand the basic concepts, how to get it done, I've also found contracts that I understand and I can use for motivated sellers and buyers. 

The owner is highly motivated and is a tired landlord.

These A type assets seem to appreciate much faster than my B and C type assets and it is not uncommon to see multiple applications arrive at your email within the 1st week of listing the home for rent.For my buy and hold I like to buy A type assets from motivated sellers at a 10-20% discount less than 10 years old.For fix and flip, my criteria is look for homes built in the 1990s in the A type neighborhood where I know homes in the neighborhood will turn quickly.James  Originally posted by @Jamie Montpellier:Dear BP members,Here's the thing, we constantly hear about buying value right from the get-go and so I wish to know if buying turnkey properties in A neighbourhoods is a no-no because the value is already priced in...Or should we be bargain hunting and looking for :B type property in A type neighbourhoodC type property in B type neighbourhoodWhat do you think?
