Keep screening the calls bro, that motivated seller is coming soon.

(Assuming that they were motivated sellers [Their son ownes several  wiener schnitzels around Inland Empire]). anyways, I purchased the property and it was in normal condition.

If he's motivated, he'll understand and want to continue on.

Hi BP! Ive been trying to get into it for quite a while- reading a million and one books, blogs and everything in between to actually going to THAT $2000 course for a weekend. I'm determined to get my first deal under...

Who do you think will be the most motivated to sell?

About a week later, call whatever number USA.com shows or use online tax/property records combined with the almighty Google to find a number for the homeowner if you can.Two (possible) touches in a week puts it in a motivated seller's mind that you're serious.

Luckily, with real estate title can't be passed/seized so easily.If the home was their only substantial asset, in most probate courts this will help move things along quicker than if they had other investments.I agree without a will, there's no motive to 'get the deed in their brother's name' as without last will and testament, all heirs (ie all deceaseds' children) can claim a stake in their estate during probate.

That's what leads me to believe she's more motivated to sell than she's trying to appear.She pays $300/mo for lawn upkeep (which she let go during these past few winter months) and there's the costs of maintaining a private well and septic tank and stocking the pond on the property.

I am very motivated to begin my real estate career in wholesaling.I am searching for a mentor in the Sonoma County area.

I was looking at them but had not really been motivated to get a membership there until I read Patrick's post.
