Since it is overpriced and you haven't clue if the owner is motivated why are you bothering?

this has always been a cloudy thought of mine,so do you negotiate on a price as if you were buying or do you take the askers price and find him a deal with one of your motivated buyers.

They knew it was that important to you and that was motivation for them. 

Other examples would be private lending for down payments, borrowing from family (not possible for me), doing a owner-occupied investment and saving the rent I would normally have paid for a year and then reinvest (this is my plan as of yet, but it seems that it would take a long time before I accomplished my goals), using a credit card to fund deals (which I will not do), partnering (very skeptical of some others motives since I am new), selling after a year or two (speculating appreciation of course, which is bad news) and various not so friendly ideas.Can anyone shed some light to what ways that I can roll into the next property fast so I can start the snowball effect in the first year?

I'm really excited and motivated to start investing in real estate.

I would like to know if the find motivated seller's system worked out for you.

Wouldn't wholesalers be in the category of loan sharks; preying on the "motivated".I assume they have some special skill that does provide a service to the motivated?

Need some quick motivation for remaining focus on your investing journey?

These books motivated me to find what I can do for myself to be successful.

One item I'm running into is lots of calls, but little to no motivation.
