Look for owner financing, for sale by owner, and pre foreclosure (ska motivated sellers).

Do you mind sharing how you marketed/found the motivated seller?

If you were/are a seller, what is the motivation to owner finance?

I'm asking for any tips to find these (motivated sellers).

The only difference would be the stipulation of the purchase price, but the requirement to reside or use the property for 50% of the time it is in use over the next two years remains the same;If the purchase price is between $300,000 and $999,999 and the buyer cannot sign the affidavit, the withholding rate is now 15%; and If the purchase price is $1,000,000 or more the withholding is 15% of the gross price.Here are some more resources:http://altrolevy.com/all/firpta-new-withholding-ta... http://california.wfgnationaltitle.com/MarketingFlyers/Foreign%20Buyer%20and%20Seller%20Guide%20FIRPTA.pdf(This one is not updated with the recent changes but it gives you some good info and links)

They also have some other filtering criteria that can be used to find motivated sellers (probates, divorce, empty nesters, etc) which may be of interest to you.As for AgentPro247, I don't have any experience with their foreclosure filter - I've never bothered to do my searches that way.

This def motivates me to move forward.

They will also integrate the website that you currently have and whenever somebody does send you that email to get in contact with you, they have the ability to directly inform you but also place the information of the potential motivated seller in the data base for you.

Your failure-to-pay penalty would be $100, calculated as $10,000 x 0.5%/month x 2 months.Note that the failure-to-pay penalty increases to 1% (rather than 0.5%) if the tax remains unpaid 10 days after the IRS issues a notice of intent to levy property.Failure-to-file penalty.  

@Aaron Litzenberg Winter weather is definitley an issue, but you can also play it to your advanatage: sellers tend to get a little bit more motivated once Thanks Giving comes into sight and some banks seem to be willing to get bad assets of the books before they close the quarter and the year.
