Owner is a motivated seller.

The seller did. 

Because you have no idea what type of deal you'll find and which seller will call and/or work with you.This is why you need to network network network with local investors so you have someone to buy the ones you can't handle.And wholesaling is not actually an investment technique.

If they provide you with the address, what's to stop you from working a side deal directly with the Seller?

Metal shelf in there too...Agree with cabinets and new appliances, not necessarily granite will look good to renters and appraisers.My mom was a successful realtor and one thing she always did was make the sellers put in metal light switches (and new faucets )a Maybe 5 bucks a piece on the switch plates but one of those subliminal visuals that help people think higher end.

Alot of sellers who contact me have high priced homes ("high" is subjective I know).

I have many questions if I’m “doing it right,” as my properties are a mix of mortgage loans of varying lengths, and two houses are seller financed.

I have a seller that wants to sell his 2.4 acres of land on a note, Great right??? 

I am currently working a deal with a highly motivated seller of a 4 bedroom section 8 condo.

I don't know if there are gurus out there teaching to do this kind of ads to get prospect renters for their seller financing.
