it's location might help you or the more motivated the owner/seller could help. 

(And yes, I know how to generate motivated sellers).Very active in the English CIIQ (Club d'investisseurs immobilier Quebec).Now it's your turn: Who are you?

It's amazing to see what we are capable of in tough times.This is incredible insight.

Account Closed     My motivation doesn't seem to be as honorable as yours is. 

I have a motivated seller who's property, a 3+2 sfr, that needs to be stripped to the studs.

From the looks of it Foreclosures are postponed so Motivation to move are now in their favor.

Thank you Chris Campeau for this incredibly detailed and insightful post. 

My first question would be, what is the sellers true motivation and will delaying closing that much have a negative impact on their motivation.  

I would recommend trying to determine what the motivation is.

What we do is tell people we ARE going to wholesale their property if that is what we feel is best for us.They can either say no thanks,or they say "lets try it". 9 out of 10 times when they are truely motivated to sell (those are the leads we are getting, so for us this means.. a lot of times) they will say yes, lets wholesale it.When you explain in full transparency what wholesaling is, they wouldn't ask you for a proof of funds.
