I would find out why they want to sell and the more motivated they are to sell, the more likely you will be able to reduce the price.

Has anyone simply used Craigslist to find their leads and done deals this way?

It took numerous phone calls from my agent and myself to random people in some outsourced office halfway across the country and weeks of stress to finally get the loan closed (and only because the seller agreed to an extension at the last minute).

Owner is very motivated and wants to sell quick.

The seller is highly motivated.

I'm just staying positive and using this as further motivation going forward.

Please let me know if anyone needs assistance and could teach a young motivated coupe along the way.

The PFS is a very motivating tool!

I am not entirely sure how much money is a motivating factor in such a situation.

I don't like the concept of having numerous properties making $200 cash flow on each with the risk.
