friends,I recently received some leads from motivated sellers out of state who need to sell their homes.

I enjoy learning what drives and motivates people.

Using the HELOC allowed to make a few 'cash' offers to sellers I thought might be motivated to move quickly and one bit.

Looking at about $5K to have him on my team and it would be worth it if they said yes, and he would have a lot of influence on that decision I bet.

Any suggestions on how to find distressed properties or motivated sellers?

I'm a quick learner, motivated to succeed and a great apprentice when needed.

The seller is asking $145,000 but is looking for a cash offer and seems pretty motivated from the ad wording.

Ok. so I did my first deal 1 month ago from calling FSBO ads. but now it seems FSBOS are just not that motivated.

For example people will tell you about price reductions before they hit the market, they might tell you who's motivated to sell etc.So anyway, those are the biggest benefits to being investor/agent as opposed to one or the other.

There are likely two scenarios.Owner is not motivated at all, hence no sale yetOwner cannot be reached.
