Knowing the market, some of them said they would go to 85% of ARV, or even more, if it still made a good deal for them.Remember, too, that you're looking for motivated sellers of off-market properties. 

Other methods are to purchase lists with different motivations and stack them  like absentee owners, 60-90-120 days late on mortgage, pre-foreclosure, delinquent taxes, water cutoff, code violation, evictions, probate, divorce, etc.

It depends on the motivation of the seller. 

TRUE motivation. 

Something that will motivate and inspire me to stay on the path to financial freedom and give new ideas to save and grow my money. any suggestions for good money books?

This solution can only work if the seller is motivated to get rid of the place and is willing to do whatever it takes.

It motivated me.

@Chad Clement I receive around 4-5 calls per day from motivated sellers wanting to sell properties and also get a few online leads daily.  

Thanks for the story very inspiring and motivating. 

Detailed Books or Audio Books that have more information on What To Do, How To Do This, or Where To Look, etc... giving more situational advice.I've read Rich Dad Poor Dad along with other books just that have the same emphasis for motivation to investing, even read BP's book Rental Investing which had some detailed information.
