This made the owner very motivated.

Look for deals that might cash flow by finding motivated sellers, distressed properties, foreclosures etc.

Having done so much research without purchasing, I saw this property as a steal due to the circumstances of the motivated seller.

Hello, I have hit some incredibly time consuming hang ups with my original plan of utilizing a 203k to house hack a duplex, refi and use the equity to invest again.

At least a few months.It's usually overpriced or theres some issue with it that makes it hard to show.And make your offer and work directly with the listing agent as they will be more motivated to get the deal done.

It’s a good time to review your life insurance and estate plan (will, POA, etc).Keep making progress and stay motivated!

From an investor perspective, I'd want an incredible deal this month and next month. 

I have a mobile home owner very motivated to sell, asking 50k comps are at 110k no major cosmetic repairs needed.

Sounds like they might be more motivated to unload.

But there are many issues at hand in CRE apart from the underlying fundamentals of real estate that come into play when making investment decisions like cost of capital (which varies by party), investor motivations (arbitrage, tax, etc) amongst other items.
