My other motivation for becoming a realtor was simply to be a part of an industry that is constantly changing and evolving to meet the needs of both buyers and sellers. 

I am working on putting together my cash buyers/motivated sellers lists but I have not made too much progress.

Just looking at what would motivate a bank to go to auction after a property is already listed on MLS.

In person, arrive early; preview again before the auction begins.Look and listen for clues as to seller motivation or needed work.Observe other potential bidders (your competition) don’t tell on yourself.Be ready with certified funds or cash for the deposit if you are successful bidder.

In fact @Todd Krzeminski has created Google plus group and have few serious investors in there to motivate and help each other towards their success.

Or that they can buy from an owner occupant that is motivated for a discount.  

I am a very outgoing motivated individual who LOVES to talk to new people and would like to do more networking.I look forward to hearing from all the local investors :)Respectfully,Alison

Thank you all for the motivating words, welcomes and resources!  

So long as SOME cash flow remains, your next goal would be to use the refi to DOUBLE up on that cash flow - with your next purchase that has been funded accordingly!

In addition, the workers need to be supervised, motivated and trained and the cost for this person plus all the extra costs can bring it up easily to $50/hour.
