I hope it will give me more motivation and knowledge than just rewatching all the YouTube videos.

@Francisco Martinez IIIQOZ investments can be very tax efficient ways to handle capital gains on a balance sheet.

Have ALL of your ors in the water, do/setup marketing in many channels (SMS, post card, PPC), learn how to carve out lists that target motivation that you want. 

Specific motivated leads (foreclosures, divorce, etc. are great), but I'd also go for absentee owner lists, or just mining tax records with set criteria. 

The BRRR strategy is much more cost efficient long-term than flips due to the tax savings.

I enjoy getting to know investors and watching their success; it motivates me when I feel like I'm hitting a wall!

Because the Seller has self-identified themselves as someone who is “motivated,” and they have reached out to a cash home buyer, the dynamic is this: “we both know I need to sell, and all that matters here is price.

I'm 18 years old and very motivated.

You have to have a strategy to prevent these things...and I would think you don't always want to leave that to third party property management, that you want to do that yourself.Probably in most cases if you're just going a few times a year, and you're going in peak season, probably cheaper in the long run to rent hotel rooms or other STR vs buying one if that is your motivation.

Overall though it couldnt have been a smoother first deal and i'm glad it was because as i've dove into more deals since I could see where a lack of motivation could come into play if you run into major issues on deal #1.
