I'm a 20 year old extremely motivated investor. 

Yes, there are lots of different programs here in Texas for this sort of thing.  

I've been mailing and cold calling off of potential motivated seller lists and was wondering, has anyone been able to get deals from a trust or estate.

I just got some advice which was to find some new ways to cast a wider net in order to get more motivated sellers.

I just found out about real estate investing and am very interested and motivated to try out but don’t know where or how to start. 

(Part of the sales agreement is that the seller has 4 months from closing to move out and she’s in the unit I will turn into 2 units and the garage that will eventually be storage of some sort).

Just because you call it something different doesn't mean that same compensation isn't there- though I understand you lose some motivation for him to pay because of that. 

If they are this close to the edge, what happens to your rent if they have some sort of financial hiccup.I'd insist on having the deposit before I locked up the lease.

So, if it won't appraise for you need, you both are screwed and the property is now underwater.The "big boys" have these sorts of pre-sale reno programs.
