Finding Motivated Seller

Here a 3 quick tips on finding Distressed/ Abandoned Properties/ motivated seller that I have not found in Real Estate books.

1. Drive around before trash pick up day. When you see everyone trash cans out and you come across a house with out one and the porch light is off. There is a chance it is vacant.

2. When a house has more than 2 cars out side and they are pretty run down. There is a chance that that person needs cash. MOTIVATED SELLER!

3. When driving around a neighborhood and seeing construction trucks out front. There may be sellers near by. Most likely not the house they are in front of but the houses around. The reason why is if that house needs work most likely the houses around it need the same things done.

Bonus Tip: If you see a house with one of those PODS out front or in the backyard. The owner maybe be in the market for a bigger house and needing to sell quick.
