The information helps me to find the problems areas and determine the real value of the property to me.Third, I prefer to find motivated sellers.

I have a motivated seller that is 15 mos behind on payments and still getting calls from bank to resolve issuesseller wants out with nothing in return but will not talk to bankwants me to talk to bankwhat form do I need for seller to sign so I can talk to bank about acquiring property

I also understood that some investors are steering clear of that area until the Mike Brown stuff fades away, so maybe that was part of the seller's motivation as well. 

Love hearing about the successes of others as it keeps other newer investors motivated!

Most are typical unrealistic home owners, but even the one’s who have some equity and motivation just flat out rejected my offers.

Since you're a one on one partnership it should be easy enough to understand what motivates him. 

Hi,looking for feedback on the best motivational CDs one can have for real estate agents/brokers. 

Almost the only way to find something that works here is to find it off market and in distress or another major motivation factor for the seller.  

He's also motivated to get out of it because he just bought a new home for his family and needs the money.One major reservation I have on it is that it has a pool . . . that the owner put a cover over when he purchased it, and then never took off.

Early on, it was a test of faith, but having my back against the wall has been a great motivator.
