Let the wholesalers find the motivated sellers and everyone in the industry is happy. 

Either way thanks for the motivation!

It may not happen, but It's great to have a possible tenant who might be able to move in once the first tenant moves on.It's motivating to keep looking for deals, however I can find them. 

In the interview the wholesaler said that once he gets a motivated seller to call him via direct mail marketing, he allows the seller to make him an offer price for the home and if it's a reasonable offer, the wholesaler sends out the contract for the seller to sign before he (the wholesaler) even steps foot on the property.

I have a absentee motivated seller who has been paying $615 mortgage on property in Huntsville Alabama that is vacant and needs a lot of work.

Bulk owner board members, by virtue of their voting power, often carry great influence in decisions made by the board.

I am doing this late in life but am VERY motivated to get started. 

Posting on BP and sharing real estate information with your sphere of influence (and social media) is a great way to get started.

However, the most significant influence tends to be the yearly seasons of winter, spring, summer, and fall.The social, economic, and political calendar of the United States operates based on the yearly seasons.
