How did you achieve that success? 

I have cash ready to buy, but no motivated agent to drive this next purchase to close.

I am starting out, have found my list of potential motivated sellers, and will be working on finding deals to fill my pipeline. 

A lead is when whom ever you reached is actually interested and motivated enough to sell their house (hopefully below market value)!

My recent discovery of (and obsession for) the bigger pockets podcast has given me tons of motivation and a drive for action!

I thought I'd become a licensed home inspector to achieve this. 

I am trying to get a list of motivated sellers based on their life events.

Anyone trying to recommend a book without first getting to know your strengths and weaknesses is like a wholesaler trying to pitch a prospect on selling without first getting to know what’s motivating them to sell in the first place.

Instead of the cost of equity representing the required rate of return that a potential partner would require, it could be substituted for the risk-free return that could be achieved on an individual's cash.

Now they are employing a totally deceptive back door attack to accomplish that which they couldn't achieve otherwise.
