Such people might be motivated to moveThese ideas don't guarantee you great deals, but they give you a better list of properties to scour rather than taking shots in the dark.

I am currently looking for highly motivated Birddogs in the Houston area.

I am very coachable, motivated, and highly desire to become an investor.

I've been reading a lot about getting motivated sellers, a contract and finding buyers, then bowing out with an invoice at closing.

I am excited & motivated to say the least.I'm interested in rehabbing/flipping single-family homes and investing in the multi-unit/apartment sector.

someone about to lose their home is a motivated seller, no doubt about that.

I guess if I had to come up with a specific question for now, it would be - when you are speaking to a motivated seller, what information do you gather from them, and how do you transcribe that information into offers (ie, real numbers) that should be profitable to you and agreeable to the seller?

Find out their motivation and see if you can come to an agreement with them.

Either walk or find another way to verify the situation.The agents are motivated to do a deal and are slightly more inclined to prepare the paperwork.

Here is my current roadblock:I do not want to start marketing to motivated sellers yet because I do not know what is a good deal, or what to offer in order to make it a good deal.
