Each investor often will have varying objectives and motives and there are too many real estate strategies that there isn't a one size fits all list.

Hey guys and girls, my name is Mahbutt SmillsfuneeI am now gonna show you how we take that STOOPID ignorant motivated sellers whose mom just died and we are going to show you LIVE how I take that gaahdamn sucker and lower the offer"And then they show you how they call them up, make fun of them, and take them for a ride how to lower that offer.Don't you friggin douchebags know that those are your CLIENTS?!

The BEST way to get motivated leads is through those leads finding YOU, not you finding them..STOP.. before any of you come at me with "but but but... 

One of my favorite things about them is the motivation it brings, being able to recognize that we're all investors in the same market-style makes it easier to keep going when things are tough.

So yeah... not a bad way to start, AS LONG  as you do it right ;)The process is insultingly simple.Find a motivated seller (marketing), understand the seller, and figure out what value means to them.

Please do (keep me posted) Show the world when you are motivated, take the right action, and use your head, you will get far!

It just means you have to find the motivated sellers to offer less.

EMD is largely pointless here....what happens is the money gets tied in escrow until there is consensus to release the funds...no consensus, no release....the money sits in limbo for 2-years and then goes back to you, its a lose/lose situation....or you get a court opinion...so, pay $6,000 in legal fees for $5,000...not a great idea...In the last 20 requests for EMD we have submitted for listing clients where a buyer was unable to perform on a deal, the broker on the other side of the table acknowledges the initial request and then ignores every piece of documentation and future request...there is no repercussion...a lawyer might be able to help with motivation here.This is usually a "pissing match" fueled by misunderstanding of how EMD works...Your agent/broker should be advising you on this stuff...Read this: https://codes.ohio.gov/ohio-re...

All leads free, extremely motivated and I don't do ANYTHING to get them (all the work has been done 5 years ago on my website).

Thankfully, the seller was pretty motivated.
