Sad I have come across a share of home owners who are incredibly cocky and/or patronizing in their treatment of tenants but thankfully they've been in the minority by and large.

If seller is motivated, they will reconsider. 

Depends on seller’s motivations, personal situations, virus numbers. 

That said, there are still motivated sellers out there.

Homeowners will get a lot of help with their mortgages thats a given.. but you still have inherited etc.. so i have to think there are going to be a few more motivated folks than normal its just how do you get to them. 

Have you spoken to the seller, and are they motivated to sell their property at a discount? 

We are very new to this, but are highly motivated to make a future for us and for our children.  

I was also surprised with the little extra motivation this simple new routine added to my current work (I'm constantly trying to see how my current job can do more for my RE experience than be steady source of income).

Not that big of a deal as she was a lot of help and very motivated. 

especially when  you have a distressed house and more importantly a motivated seller, how do you know what will make it a good deal, if you are going for a good discount because of the specific scenario with a motivated seller.
