A person who believes that all people are motivated by selfishness.2.

Sort of a "learn at the feet of the master" kind of relationship...The second thing, though, is that they ought to provide you with confidence, and to some degree even motivation.

Would you rather acquire properties that have existing tenants and positive cashflow and use some cash and credit to acquire OR try to find motivated sellers and acquire their home SUBJECT TO their underlying mortgage?

Turns out my first call is a very motivated seller.

I found a property with a motivated seller.

It sounds like you have a motivated seller, but if you aren't happy with the offers you are getting from potential buyers, you need to get the price down more.Never forget - you are the buyer (to your seller) - you set the price based upon what you can pay - if they say no (most will say no), move on to the next one.

Otherwise there hasn't been much motivation at all.

Is it just a matter of how motivated they are to sell?

ok i have my first meeting with a motivated seller tomorrow morning, i'm a little nervous about it but i just want to get my first meeting with a seller over with so i can get some experience. the property arv worth 32k, the seller wants 10k i plan to talk him down to 7k.

I have little money to use, but like I said I am extremely motivated and will do whatever it takes to make it in this business.
