But you never know how motivated someone really is until they get an offer.The only way this would work is to send out many offers a day on properties your buyers would buy, and just low ball & hope you get a bite every now and then.

I'm planning to work on my rentals tomorrow - but it might rain then also and I might be motivated to take another day off!

I only get highly leveraged loans from motivated sellers.

Market for motivated sellers and let the deal dictate what to do.  

At the end of the day I see it like this: If the individual really NEEDS to sell their house it will be quite difficult to force them to lose that motivation.

I can think of various of ways to put a warm body in a house with $3K, doesn't mean they all will own a home.You said you have "clients" in RE a client on the buyer's side is one who is 1. motivated to buy, 2. qualified to buy, and 3. has the ability to buy.

My goal is to purchase wholesale properties/find motivated/distressed sellers and either buy and hold or flip, or both.I am trying to compile a mailing and calling list but seem to be a bit confused on where to start.

Relying on the local knowledge of people that have a profit motive.

I have a motivated seller that owns 2 separate properties that are under a blanket mortgage.  

It is a FSBO that is owned by an elderly couple who are very motivated to sell.
