Properties are selling fast and way too much for what I'd consider a good investment...if anything, you'd be lucky to break even because there is little motivation to sell for less.

Going back to conspiracy theories i recently moved my assets out of Morgan Stanley and into Vanguard due to some alternate motivates! 

If you need to cancel because the loan isn’t happening due to an appraisal issue your mortgage broker just tells them the loan isn’t getting approved. you have the loan contingency and that’s all you really need. 4. include a letter about yourself – what you do for a living etc. without it your offer is just a piece of paper with a name – the sellers don’t know who you are and it helps if they have a sense of who they are dealing with. you can even BS a bit and say you really need to close soon for whatever reason – maybe kids are starting school – Sellers like motivation attached to offers – they will believe you will be less likely to walk away or cancel over an inspection item.

Could you guess that HGTV has been a motivator for me?

By helping current sellers you will naturally find inexpensive mobile homes for sale and empty tracks of land for sale by motivated sellers.

It's always amazed me how I can write a letter which motivates a complete stranger on the other end to take a certain desired action.

This is a whole lot of money to spend just to pull out about $50k.I have some private money loans I would like to extinguish and I have other opportunities that I would like to pursue, which is the motivation for releveraging.In the alternative, if I wait a few months I can get an 8% 10yr HEL (fixed) or a 6% 25yr HELOC (variable) from another local bank with no closing costs.Am I pursuing a bad deal?

Theres all these different ways to find "motivated sellers", but most of them are not worth putting your time in because theres too few sellers to be found, so therefore youre scattered trying 20 different niches.

The pressure of a sheriff lockout plus an offer of cash can sometimes motivate, but not always.

LOL, in other words, very little risk with a motivated qualified borrower.
