Between strict public record laws, limited access to data, and the way certain counties handle records, finding motivated sellers can feel like searching for a needle in a haystack. 

In addition I received two  low, but reasonable offers from investors, who had plans to rent out the facility.  

Personal mentoring would be an “upgrade” to a much higher fee, upwards of $40,000 which, for most people wouldn’t actually provide any additional value anyway.

I have forced an additional 30% of appreciation through some redesign and repairs.

As wholesalers, we’re trained to look for distress—motivated sellers in tough situations, properties needing major repairs, or financial struggles forcing a quick sale.

I have shown this via a study i have done which shows data from propstream and propwire are at least 2 weeks behind county/court/noitce records which are the source of 90% of off market motivated seller leads Take a look at my home page for more thorough explanation of what youare NOT getting when you use Propstream, Propwire, Propshark, PropRadar and the like.Also, propstream and propwire only provide, for at least FL, TX, CA, a third of the preforeclosure leads wich are available from  county/court/noitce records, so, if you want to be ahead of the pack in the off market world go to the source and you will save yourself a lot of time, money and aggrevation.How do you get the data from the county websites?

@Matthew Schumacher These are great additional point, thank you!

In the case of investors, they still require a 20% down payment, additionally there is a 2.25% funding fee because the REO was purchased under a VA loan. 

Thank you Eric.In addition to the rental properties, my wife and I have a paid off house, paid off car, and about $1.4m in retirement accounts, brokerages, and savings.We live in a HCOL area and our expenses are $9.5k per month even though we live pretty modestly.I set out initially to have real estate pay for at least some of my expenses in order to give me more freedom and financial security.Is your wife quitting too?
