Hobby landlords with just a few rentals tend to be the most beaten up and are one of my greatest sources of motivated sellers.They don't have tight screening criteria, tight leases, contacts or relationships with tradesmen, lenders, fellow investors,  agents etc to make it a business or well-oiled machine.They place tenants they know of from someone else or one they got a feeling about or one with a good sob story.
