Instead, I’m looking for a more broad overview of states/counties as it pertains to the amount of motivated sellers in general.

Now the 2nd counter from them will show how motivated the bank is.

I am just looking for ideas on how to keep your self motivated and on task every day..

. ;)Now I see the motivation of "defending" your suggested attorney.Just saying Ann, your response could have been phrased a little differently to say what you thought without it making it sound I was full of it.

I highly doubt I could consistently mail at my current rate for the next 2 weeks.But my plan after these next 2 weeks includes further research for motivated seller leads outside of pre foreclosures and possibly making my 2nd contact to my pre foreclosure lists via post cards or followup letters if they are still available, also seeing as their foreclosure dates are coming closer.

I don't care what a motivated seller says, the place always needs work. $20/ft is a pretty decent rehab (some mechanicals, foundation, paint, flooring). $30/ft is a complete gut job.

Half charitable drive and half self-motivated for income and financial gains.

It is much easier to find a motivated seller in these neighborhoods because the buyer is generally an investor.It's a higher management play in the short run, but there are quality tenants out there that appreciate personal attention.  

Thank all of you for chipping in with information regarding this sort of deal.From the looks of it, I should just talk to the seller and see if he would agree to paying me a fee to connect him with a motivated buyer.

@Matthew Paul I agree, im always interested in motivations although it can be very hard to ferret out.
