This opportunity fell in my lap as I know the motivated seller who is willing to sell, but I'm not sure if I can get the price that he wants for it.I don't have the property under contract yet, and this is my first wholesale deal.

Also id love to hear from you whats not working or what your struggling with .For me, hiring a few Vas to cold call has been paying off, text messaging is doing decent. 

For a complete understanding, it is recommended to review the full text of Assembly Bill 1771 and consult with legal and tax professionals.

I would love to maybe text you about this, I am super interested

If you want to buy, give a couple Sears Outlets a call, they normally have a couple sets around and since they likely sit for a decent amount of time the store might be motivated to drop the price a bit to move it.

Almost all of my communication with my tenants is via text, and they still will lie, lol.I just had a tenant last week- after I repaired her stairs- claim they told me repeatedly about their deck stairs needing fixed last year and 'nothing was ever done about it'.  

Some tenants are busy.When I recently took over a property, my business partner and I (1) called each of them to introduce ourselves, (2) sent a text message and (3) sent a letter.

Sellers who are still on the market in Nov/Dec tend to be highly motivated and prices start dropping.

It is understanding possible sellers motivations.  

I deleted a bunch of text to mention I agree with most of your points.
