However, you can always query the listing agent and see if he/she will provide you with any information that would influence your offer.I hope this helps.

I had read often about motivated sellers, but experiencing it firsthand was surreal.

They are listed for less but require a lot of repairs and also have multiple offers.Should I just stop looking and wait for the next recession/crisis/whatever for the sellers to become more motivated?

Welcome @David DamMy few favorites are "Think and grow rich" and "How to win friends and influence people".You will not so much learn the lingo but should be the bible to any one looking into any entrepreneurial ventures.A book that got me started and changed my mindset was Rich Dad Poor Dad.Thanks

Is a mix use land development project a positive influence on surrounding property values?

Second what is the sellers motivation for selling if they are selling?

You'd have some strong motivation to get tenants in ASAP.

If the house is in Hoboken the neighborhood and location and condition of the property will be a big influence.

30 days ago , I order 1200 yellow cards from yellow card.com , I obtained the list from listsource.com , here is the result I got 70 returned cards due to inaccurate addresses so far , about 10 total calls, I meet only 1 seller in foreclosure, she was behind 12 month in payments, her house need 40 K for updating, ARV 170. so there is not enough spread , not only that the seller want 80 K .listsource.com provided me with :1) absentee owners with 100% equity ( 500 cards) : these owners are not motivated as much as I thought, many of them want 100% market value, not wiling to consider seller finance of any type, or telling you the least price that they can accept. they want me to give them offer since I approached them to buy their property.2) pre foreclosed list with 40-50% equity (out of 700 cards) : only 3 responds back.the result is worthless while it cost me about $700 for the total of 1200 cardwhat are the best source for accurate listing?

@Dan Holdenthose annoying hairs are just the motivation you'll need to keep going.
