Sellers are over asking and not motivated in that area because they know the Superbowl is coming and they are looking to take advantage of people who don't know any better.

Just because someone should be motivated does not mean they will be.

There are many ways to get creative about the financing if you're motivated enough. 

It sounds like the sellers aren't motivated enough to do a good deal anyway.

I've come across a highly motivated seller, who has a very nice duplex with $100K in equity right now.

I very motivated and wanting to learn the business to be successful.

I understand these are not "motivated sellers" and that I should move on  but it is still intriguing to me if there are ways to engineer a deal out of it, plus that seems to be the case for every single seller in CL!

While I'm watching and learning the finer points of negotiating with sellers, filling out contracts and estimating rehabs, I'm almost always at the local REI stuff (MNREIA, MNREC, Millennial Investor Focus Group, and more) trying to network and learn what I can about marketing for motivated sellers.I grew up in Kansas City (Go Royals!)

I'm totally motivated into doing this and I know that with my motivation I'm going to succeed. 

Any advice is appreciated I am motivated but new to the lingo.
