He is also incredibly hard on things, like his own home and truck.

I don't want to torpedo the deal by asking too much from a seller that is only somewhat motivated.

If you are an agent and you want to bring value to a wholesaler you can help them find motivated sellers.

I’m a 22 year olds motivated male from the Bay Area. 

All that said, I’m incredibly happy I started my investing business.

It has incredible opportunity.

Hi,This is a property with a motivated buyer, they're about 10k in default.

I have found this program incredible for the most part but a bit frustrating in only 1 respect. 

The idea is they're in the same place or were recently and you can help each other move to the next level, share ideas, keep each other motivated, etc.Direct mail is one strategy that a lot of beginning investors use and it's certainly something you can try, but it's usually better suited to wholesalers than to people finding their first property to buy and hold, only because it requires a lot of persistent time, effort and money, and the few leads you'll get for that will often be in areas you might not want, or require more rehab than you might want, for a property you personally would want to own.Don't get me wrong, you can do well with direct mail and other marketing efforts (such as "driving for dollars", pursuing properties with violations, contacting long-time or burned out landlords, door knocking, probates, divorces, etc.), but I'd say it requires a lot of commitment since it's a numbers game and is really best if it's part of a wholesaling strategy.I guess what I'm trying to say is, I'd recommend picking a strategy - buy and hold, or wholesaling - to start out with, and focusing on that.

@Charito Mattson  I see you posted your motivation for purchasing the property.
