Plus, while we cannot create motivation to sell, you can be the first name that comes to mind when there is motivation.Hope this is helpful!

It just takes dedication, education, & motivation.

You need to interview attorneys, because you want one who will be with you for a long time and understand you, your motivations, your values, etc.I also recommend you Google things like "Asset protection in Real Estate Investing". 

Hi Jaimie.I am new to this, but am curious about why you would actually buy a house to sell to this gentleman, rather than finding a motivated seller that was willing to enter into a lease option agreement.

Try to "narrowcast" a bit, don't get "paralysis by analysis", don't put in so many contingencies that you're going back and forth with 7 counter-offers (two round trips is all any Purchase Offer should ever make) and make 3 day closing" (cash) or "2 week closing" (loan) a part of every offer.People in "trouble" (motivated sellers) like to see a definite plan to end their pain.

Because it takes so little time (less than 10-20 minutes a month), and because it has so many "instant" feedback tools that it MOTIVATES people.Our average client gets 20% better results than initially projected in their Analysis.

I have learned a lot and I'm very motivated and want to begin soon!

That should be motivation for me.

But other than that, it was no big deal.I would not be comfortable enough to manage my own 401k plan at a local bank (even though I manage my LLC within my IRA), although if Equity Trust gives me more grief, I'll be motivated enough to do the research to become comfortable.

The motivation to move never comes from rates BTW, but when the difference is so big, it makes people pause.In Milwaukee inventory down is 35%, but the real kicker is that accepted offers were down 68% in January!
