Hello BP community newbie here on BP I am currently in search of  ideas on how to go about finding leads on motivated sellers and any advice as to what I need to do to find my first house and get it under contract

. , we are all far more concerned with talking to real motivated sellers and not just someone wasting our time.

If you believe that it the only thing motivating a borrower to come to you is saving a few percent on interest, you can be quickly undercut by any nimble HML, or your other Crowdfunding brethren.

Pls continue to keep us motivated with your flips.

Since most of my properties are purchased in a distressed state of some sort, My first step is usually to secure the property and then start the trash out process.

I had hoped there was some sort of strategy to make this a legitimate  way to get started investing? 

we are having major issues with our property managers and need a real estate lawyer to sort it out.

Deal sourcing and motivated seller lead generation could work if you can devote a little regular time to it.

Or through some sort of creative financing?

At the same time there are lots places open for renting with motivations.
