This works when you have a really motivated seller.4.

Even if you are able to find a motivated seller who is willing to do a subject to deal with you it will likely still cost $.  

I guess it will take a lot of patience, and I will have to dig up my old real estate agent marketing skills to focus on finding motivated sellers.

He is not motivated to sell, but it seems he could be persuaded to go with seller financing...so, do I explain:I will take possession of the property by transferring the title into my name.You will retain ultimate ownership of the property and have the ability to foreclose should there be any non-payment issues.I will pay you a monthly loan payment of X Dollars every month for the next X Years.And if this is correct so far, how do I explain the terms?

@Precious Thompson ,I'm with @Beth L. .What is the motivation to the landlord?

@Richard C.I can appreciate your concern for the seller, but I don't appreciate your negativity... it's a better use of your time to motivate newer investors, versus providing destructive criticism.

Talk to the seller to find out his/her motivation for selling.

I have been on the receiving end of this phenom of out of state investing.. and the carnage it creates when folks get talked into investing and really have no clue of what they are doing other than the webinar they watched and the influence you get on BP from all the TK guys and marketing agents that make money selling to these folks and we all know sales is sales.. you insinuate the positive and play down the negative 

When I did finally get to sit with the person that was motivated to sell if they were in foreclosure  99% were..

Many people are not motivated to apply to a million places or submit their resume to the right headhunters.
