I think he was asking about more lucrative ways to do marketing for motivated sellers, not for more lucrative ways to break the law. ;-)

If it's a motivated seller that you're looking to buy from I honestly don't think they'll care.

As we develop our Rent to Own program, it will serve as a way to streamline our processes.But, at the end of the day, I do not expect it to drive traffic to me. but I will drive traffic to it by becoming the Real Estate investment source of info among my sphere of influence.

I've used one in the past and once you get your questionnaire loaded with them, it's quite simple and they email you the info after the call.Personally, I don't mind missing a call as it gives me time to do some homework on the seller and some on BP actually like playing "hard to get" as it shows motivation.

Where to find motivated sellers, etc.

When listing agent is representing both buyer and seller, they will be a little more motivated to get that deal done for double commission.

It's motivating to see how pumped up you are about the business, don't lose that!

Wasn't afraid to get mud on my wingtips, it wiped off.In sales we call this having a 3rd party influence that adds credibility, it's good for any business marketing one on one.

As @Brian Burke stated your track record and the quality of the deal will determine what you will be able to offer investors and have a positive response.I do have another take on the investors motivation to act or not act.

@David Rhame To get started and having bad credit, you will need money to put into the deal, and find a seller that is motivated and will carry financing for you.What exactly are your strengths, and skills?
