If I were to purchase a property "subject-to" from a motivated seller and 6 months down the line the original owner wants to purchase another property that he/she will be occupying; how difficult would it be for the seller to qualify for a new 2nd loan on a new home being that they still have a first mortgage attached to their name?

@Todd - No earnest money deposit on wholesale deals with motivated sellers (or atleast I haven't heard of that).

I know foreclosure investing is pretty advanced stuff so I'm mostly looking at REO's, MLS listings, and motivated seller properties to flip, but I would like to get into foreclosures.

Maybe you still have to bring some cash to close but it is likely way less than if you sold today bc you found a motivated buyer who couldn't go conventional.

Apart from him saying it being too far away from his other rentals I couldn't find any other motivation.

This would be nothing more than a feeling out call to gauge his level of motivation in selling his property.What say you BP?

I have found that my biggest roadblock thus far is finding motivated sellers, and frankly im having a hard time wrapping my brain around why they would be agreeing to sell their home to me for such a discount...30-40%+ under retail. with the exception of needing to move very quickly i don t really know what would posses my to make such an unprofitable move if i were them.

Hey guys, I get a lot of motivated sellers reachching out with leads but are confused about what it is that a wholesaler really does.

I am continuing to get great leads on motivated sellers but not earning the parks trust by "investing" 

They are a great motivator for my goal to become a REI.
