And how they’re motivated to parade around about the big “changes” they’ve made.  

While many of these laws are driven by political and financial motivations — and in some cases are questionably legal — once they’re on the books, violating them makes you directly liable.

I am running into an issue for the first time where a seller and their attorney are pushing back on estoppels being signed prior to closing.

You can target motivated sellers (vacant, absentee, pre-foreclosure, etc.) using RE tools.If you combine that with quality data from sources like PropStream or BatchLeads, and send personalized messages, you’ll start getting leads pretty quickly.

Is what a Seller told me a few weeks ago during a call negotiating his property. 

The market must be tough for sellers. 

I agree deals are harder to find because sellers still want COVID prices and interest rates are much higher.

Nobody here has a clue about that and the listing agent is obviously motivated to sell the property, make their listing a success and get paid. 

Several down payment assistance options exist, and sellers are more amenable to paying closing costs. 

They hire virtual assistants (usually $500-1,000/month) to scrape fresh data daily from code violations, tax delinquencies, and other motivated seller sources.
