Since shes not motivated. 

I have tried marketing for motivated sellers and cash buyers on Craigslist.

Pairing this with a motivation letter addressed to the seller is also helpful.

We've identified an owner that is very motivated to close a deal, so I want to be competitive, but not short change myself.Thanks!

That was a very strong motivation for me.

My office is near Hamilton Ave.We are working on a burn out at this time.The owner has already collected his insurance money, so the motivation is there.He wants more than we are willing to pay, but as you know everything is negotiable.Fire damaged houses can be profitable.There is a service that will report to you all fires in the area.We work with Public Adjustors who represent owners to get the highest possible pay off.Insurance companies are notorious for beating you down and paying as little as possible. 

I have what I consider an interesting scenario and I am curious to get some coaching/thoughts/feedback from fellow BP members:I have a seller who wants to get out of her property (4 family in Cincinnati, Ohio), but ultimately wants more than it’s worth (in my opinion), but she has great equity so I offered her full price if she was willing to seller finance the remaining portion at 0% for up to 3 years so that I could easily refinance and get her paid off later.

I am here to learn and apply my knowledge of REI! I have so many questions but the drive needed to become a success! I am a newbie to REI but not to new to being a business owner. I understand that anything worth havi...

@Duke VangNo, the property we bought was from a motivated seller.  

Hoping there are at least 20 shares as motivation for myself and others!
