Thanks for the motivation. 

Chase might give you a good deal since you have a good history with them, but then again, local small banks might have more motivation to lend you money with a lesser downpayment.

There are deals everywhere, a motivated seller is anyone that talks to you for more than 5 min about selling their property, you just have to be upfront with them, let them know you are a real estate investor looking to purchase properties in the area and you came across theirs.

That's a great motivation to do real estate investing @David Herrera.

Excellent credit, $60k, motivated, 6 figure salary..My wife and I walked around Talmadge and a lot of homes have converted garages into units.

I genuinely want to see you succeed so I hope that my heart/motive came accross clearly on this. 

Took a bit of a parachute from a corporate role and not jumping back in full-time until May, so I have a pretty flexible schedule (at least 10-15 hours I can allocate per week if need be) in this time period, thus the motivation to get moving. 

There's nothing wrong with looking and learning, but the fact is everyone has a different background, each team has a different set of resources, motivations and goals.

I just started reading about real estate, and im motivated just looking for a mentor or some type of guidance on what to do first.

This last call the lady seems motivated as the house is not worth what she owes and she has two tenants with no lease but she is barely making the mortgage payment.
