Nice to meet you Kateesha, we should keep in touch to motivate and educate one another through our failures and successes. 

Our members at generating a bit over 13k leads per month and rank on page 1 and in the top 3 results of more motivated seller search phrases than any other website platform.

If you want to find some deals on property ask them for the properties that did not relist, sometimes you can find motivated sellers.  

So purchasing undervalued investments (ie fixer uppers, from motivated sellers) is much more of a possibility than in the stock market.

@Brandon OI have marketed to absentee's and I've found they are not a motivated bunch.Sure they call in but they want you to pay retail.Perhaps it's the state I'm in.So start with a small test mailing.Good luck.

To me - Nothing can possibly sound good without a price, or at least some indication of motivation.

I am motivated and a hard worker.  

And if you're really motivated, come down to San Jose on Saturday for @Johnson H. 

Each city is different and has their own way of messing with you and complicating your life.I choose not to do sec. 8 because they are not motivated to inspect and approve the property, they have too much paper work and my houses rent without any hassle.

In the case where I find a deal where major improvements will be needed on the property, either through a motivated seller or a wholesaler, I would sign a contract and would have to put down some earnest money.
