First off, you need to know their motivation and loan info, etc. when structuring creative deals, but basically it goes like this:I can pay you $65,000 cash now.I can pay you $5,000 cash now, and $65,000 more in 6 months.I can pay you $2,000 now and $75,000 in monthly payments of $500.Which works best for you?

Placement and maintenance of gutters and downspouts can often be the greatest influence on issues like this.

This strategy sounds good to me because I'd be making some cashflow, motivate the tenant to pay, and have a predictable sale date. 

You have a captive or motivated seller on your hands.

I bought a house specifically to invest in an Oxford House. my motives were both personal and because I felt it was a good investment.

I am having my VA call to set up appointments for me to call back motivated commercial sellers.

I have a motivated seller who wants to sell their mobile home.

So just yesterday, I got a call from a very motivated seller.

My main question is  the marketing aspect of it, what is the most effective way of getting motivated sellers?  

Deals like that motivate you to go get another like it!
