I have noticed that investors who focus on rehabs and flips often find it helpful to have a clear system to track motivated sellers and off-market opportunities.

Now , dieing this time they had more suprises and expenses , I had to pay for a appraisal, and richer values etc , which was charged to my card the day after I said I was going to have another money lender work on getting it closed, since it was paid and ordered I went ahead with them thinking they were going to close that Friday, that didn’t happen and now they said they can easily close it on asset based , we were suppose to close again, didn’t Happen, now I don’t really don’t know what’s going on, responses are days apart or short one sentence etc , ife had to go out of my way reaching out to processor and now the company owner who won’t answer the questions, but give one liners avoiding specific answers, I’m just tying to figure out what might be the last puzzle piece, apparently the loan guy reached out and had a confernce call without me, discussed doing a seller carry back because now the underwriting is saying they are only loaning 70k of purchase and I’m having to have like 30 k in closing.

Did you use creative financing (e.g. seller financing, rent-to-own, HELOC, take over sellers mortgage (subj-to-deals), joint ventures (with a partner) methods?

Buy the land on seller financing with a recorded first (or second if seller insists) and explicit subordination/permission for a construction loan.

Did you use any creative financing tools like: seller financing, rent-to-own, HELOCs, subject-to deals (taking over the seller’s mortgage), Joint ventures or partnerships, or even a BRRRR strategy?

If you are direct to seller it will take time and/or money to find.

Start using your own personal network to find motivated sellers. - Start posting on your favorite social media site what you are looking for – not once or twice, but CONSISTENTLY for 6 months!

A seller (or buyer) isn't.

The seller that gave up 60%, how did y’all arrange the operating agreement where the seller would not interfere or get in the way with you doing your expertise on the properties to sell and/or  restructure loan ect.?

And have little control in forcing seller to sell if needed.. compared if you were direct to the seller. also having to hire a lawyer for this not really enough money to warrant that if there is more than a sabour rattling letter.
