I'm not confident that the city's dysfunctionality can be influenced by a handful of people with good intentions though.  

And I will certainly give this some serious thought...it's always better to work with other motivated individuals :-)ToddOn Wed, Jan 6, 2016 at 12:45 PM, Bobby <> wrote: Unit A would be $725 so I assume you would raise unit B once their lease is up in 6 months which would be $1,450/month.

Economists estimate we are over 5 million housing units behind the demand.That said, remember that a lack of discounts indicates a lack of seller motivation.

Either the seller isn't motivated enough to sell to you at a discount and is willing to list to get more even if it means an unknown price and everything that goes along with selling through listing.

So far I've found door knocking on 30-60-90 pre foreclosures and bandit sign leads to be the highest producing. ...and for clarity, I understand my primary action should always be speaking with motivated sellers who have equity. ...

Find out what the motivation for selling the property is.  

I am new to REI...my boyfriend motivated me to get started on my life long dream that is why I am here to learn as much as possible.  

Our indoor system choice as also influenced by having to jackhammer up a large concrete patio in the back yard too.  

I always feel motivated and excited after listening.  

You cannot beat that guy or his real estate agent.You must market for motivated sellers and attract unlisted properties where the owner sees the benefit of taking a cash offer rather than putting their house on the market, which could require them to make costly repairs with $ they don't have.I like 3 methods for reaching the off-market, motivated seller:1) Direct mail, to people WITH EQUITY, especially absentee owners2) AdWords (Google Search marketing)3) Outdoor (billboards, bandit signs, bus signage, etc. etc.)Click on my FACE in this post and watch the video in my user profile here on BP - it's called "The Search for Motivated Sellers".  ;-)  This is THE #1 CHALLENGE for all of us.
