But from what I see written by the experts here on the forum only fools try to find deals on those apps.So my question is:If I wanted to stay in my expensive local market where I can't buy houses cash for retail.If I do direct marketing to find a house in my area and let's say I get a motivated seller.

I'm a very motivated newbie.

I very much believe in proverbs 12:15 "the way of a fool seems right in his own eyes, but a wise man seeks advice".If you can leave me your success stories in a short summary, that'd awesome and motivational for me!

I'm trying to figure out what investors are willing to pay for a motivated seller lead in different cities.

It is very important to make investing decisions before you experience great emotions such as extreme highs and lows.Key Takeaways:Researchers determined that people's investing strategy is influenced by their emotions.

I ask, because the current GP I'm speaking to, said he isn't interested in selling if he is going to be facing a large exit tax burden...I'm hoping to get some info I can share with him that might motivate him to sell.  

The seller is retiring and very motivated.

It is worth keeping in mind that the Fed controls the short-term rates, not the long term ones (now that they stopped buying long term treasuries and even then it was indirectly), which are much more influenced by the long-term expectations of inflation and the international flow of money (think, is there instability in Russia that causes Russians to pull out their money out of the country and invest it in the safe-heaven like US, is the unpredictable and shifting US policy going to keep the US dollar's status as the de facto world currency, etc).

@Jared Saunders Congrats buddy thanks for the motivation and inspiration!
