You need to find off-market deals and very motivated sellers to make it work.

I know someone in that area and I have looked around the listings a bit.It's motivating seeing others succeed.

I'm extremely excited and motivated as I move into this phase of my life.

I sent out 260 pieces of mail (I bought a list of 900 which is a mix of 424 owner occupied homes and 476 absentee owners ) and I've already been called ten times, but so far no motivated sellers.

Keep it up and keep us motivated.

Hopefully a new investor will read this and be a little inspired or motivated.  

I have a situation where a 94 year old friend is a motivated seller.

Trying to get a deal done with a motivated sell but we have deed issues:Question for legal counsel, Would affidavits from the majority of members removing uncle a manager be enough for the deal to move forward.

I agree with Joe prices see high right now, unless you find something off market with a motivated seller, which we all are looking for...

Listening to Clayton Morris' podcasts after finding his company Morris Invest on Facebook and having viewed a lot of his videos on YouTube is what motivated me join and look into real estate investing further.That being said, the biggest obstacle I face is not having the cash on hand to do my first deal, and not having any private money connections as of yet.Also, from what I've read of Morris Invest here on BP, there seems to be not enough people with experience dealing with this company, or when I do read of people that have had experiences with Morris Invest, the reviews are mixed at best.Being brand new to all of this however, it seems going the turnkey route seems less complicated in the beginning than trying to reinvent the wheel and do everything myself, but that's just my opinion.Learning to analyze deals and the underlying math involved and understanding the terminology is going to take practice, but is the foundation to a successful REI career.
