I'm constantly working on trying to keep myself motivated in my professional real estate career.

The seller is motivated.

Door knocking, cold calling, texting, emailing, direct mail.These are the best ways. 

She texts me this today.

He is in breach of the mortgage agreement:1) the note was up summer '19 and he did not pay it off neither will record an extension when i asked2) he hasn't paid his monthly interest dues on the mortgage for close to 6 months now3) he was buying time with me by giving me various excuses and now completely ignoring my calls and text msgsThis person is actively marketing his projects/properties/investments here on BPs which is where him and I got connected over a year ago. 

My tenants informed me on Wednesday, (2 days ago) by text that they think there is a leak in the roof above the master bathroom and sent a picture of what looks like a slight bubble in the sheetrock paint about 2.5 inches in diameter.

Your rentals qualify if you are treating it as a business with a profit motive.

That motivation is the primary driver for good investment returns, not "mutual" or "fraternal" or any other nonsense.In an IUL the insurance company takes the money they earn investing in those identical assets, and they go to the index options markets with the simple goal of hedging to capture as much movement in the market as they can get with the money the have to spend.

What did they find out in this 6-week timespan (12/23/2019 up to today's date of 2/7/2020) which motivates them to take a $200,000 loss?  

Good evening investors,I hear that the local county clerks office can give you a few type of lists of motivated sellers.Can anyone tell me what types of lists do you get from your local county clerks office in order to find off market deals?
