Cash for keys is always an option but doesn't always motivate, if his nephew is getting a free ride.

I would like to know what is the most effective way to find motivated sellers?  

Okay so I am a new wholesaler and I found a motivated seller today!!

I also met an amateur investor that has about 15k and motivation to get started in the industry.

,I don't quite understand how posting a derogatory heading like that helps you evaluate the issues surrounding the event.Please help me understand your position.Do you have other motives?

While asking them if I can buy out their lease do I mention how I will not be renewing their lease once it comes to an end in order to move in and do renovations, to give them motivation to move now?

My realtor, not experienced in these matters, tries to pull comps from the subdivisions--and it's just not the same motivation for payment.

I seek a mentor that is driven, focused, successful, and wants to share his/her knowledge with a very motivated and laser focused young entrepreneur.

I'll be starting an investor friendly agent team that specializes in finding motivated sellers for investors that can help cut through the guru nonsense and actually help them find investments that make sense.I live in Venice and am looking in the Santa Monica, Venice and Marina Del Rey areas.  

Use it as motivation and prove them wrong.Parents are used to one way of thinking and it's hard to change their mind.
