Just because cold calling and door knocking works incredibly well for one agent, doesn't mean it'll be what's right for you.Lastly, aim to be active on Bigger Pockets. 

Talofa Lava or Malo lelei @Junior Finai - Sounds like you have some great experience that will be incredibly beneficial to you as you get into long term investments.

Preforeclosures are always talked about by “gurus” as motivated sellers but if that was the case they would all have their properties listed on MLS.

That appraisal seems incredibly low but hopefully you knew the comps prior to purchase. 

I do thank BP for all the motivation and help since ive started investing.

I have a motivated seller for a great multifamily property, I could use some advice from someone experienced on how to set up payment for the taxes and insurance!

Definitely seems like it's worth going after unless the inspection turns up nightmares, which could then work to your advantage if the owner is motivated to sell.

AK isn't as competitive market as other parts of the country, but if there's another investor in your area, chances are they have already mailed to the absentee owners.Consider combining absentee owners with other motivated segments such as Owners with Low Financial Stability Scores (FSS) or Seniors with Long-Time Ownership.

Plus Joe is incredible, and even if he does pitch something, I'll take it to gain all the rest of the value from the conference.I'll be at the MFIN conference in Houston, also 98% pitch free (break out sessions are basically advertistments from the sponsors masked by value-add presentations). 

If they're motivated, there's a chance they'll take your deal.
