Motivation....they have to have a driving force like:New job in new location, must move before job starts.Life event....marriage, kids, divorce, retirement....must get more bedrooms or reduce expenses.Investor with cash they want to invest...especially 1031 clients.Everyone who is comfy in their house and just "thinking" of moving, is NOT moving. 

They’re just hitting colleague request in high volume to as many people as they have the motivation to click on.

I am all for finding a motivated seller and getting a good purchase.The reality is most sellers have below market financing and little incentive to accept a noticeably below market offer.Unfortunately, in most markets paying market price with market financing bleeds cash as a traditional LTR. 2 recent studies show that it is cheaper to rent than own in virtually every large city in the UD. 

I'm highly motivated and excited to connect and broaden my scope in the real estate world.

Nobody knows what the future holds, and it is far easier to admit a new member into an existing LLC than it is to retitle real estate after the fact.An LLC can also limit liability exposure, although real estate is a unique asset class where the property itself reduces the motivation for most plaintiffs to pursue personal assets.

A significant part of his motivation is the personal guarantee he signed.  

Great ways to find/connect with people who can guide you.Lastly, you're correct about agent motivation.

This data confirms a broader shift:Pandemic migration has fully cooled.Supply growth in Sun Belt markets is outrunning demand.𝐎𝐰𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐦𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐝𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐝𝐞: rent concessions, increased marketing, or selective disposition.𝐆𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐬: motivated sellers, flexible terms, and creative deal structures.If you’re new to real estate and have been watching and waiting, this is one of the best opportunities to learn how creative investing actually works.

Depending on what someone is trying to accomplish — connecting with motivated sellers, buyers, or investors — I’m always happy to share insights or point them in the right direction.

Lately I’ve been seeing a lot of investors talk about the challenge of finding quality motivated seller opportunities.From what I’ve seen across different markets, the most consistent results tend to come from public record data—pre-foreclosures, probates, liens, evictions, and code violations.Accuracy seems to matter more than just volume, because bad data leads to bad campaigns and wasted budget.Curious what others here are doing:• Are you sourcing leads from public records directly?
