I have a motivated seller with a 2000sq ft 3/2.5 ba townhome in zip code 30331.

If they are motivated then any route you go will at least get their attention. 

No feelings hurt and all the tenants saw that we enforce our rules, which motivates them to comply.

Is there any websites that you can get leads for motivated sellers?

In my case since I have my license, I would be doing all the extra work myself, but would be compensated by getting better deals, and perhaps by developing a relationship with a listing agents so they would let me know about new distressed properties about to be listed, properties that are about to have a price drop, and perhaps tips about how motivated the seller is.

I plan to eventually play around with probates in the near future.She is right Julian, and don't forget even driving around locally you should find distressed properties that may lead to unlisted motivated sellers.

newbie here highly motivated to learn and start investing in real estate..mainly on the side lines reading and listening now to the ones who made it ..in the metro Detroit area suburbs where I'm planning to grow ...so thank you in advance for all the help and advice that you may give me ...

I understand how and why to use a standard formula of 70% ARV - repairs - my wholesale profit when making an offer to a motivated seller.However, I have some buyers who seem less interested in getting a great deal (30% equity position) on a property and more interested in just monthly cash flow (for example, they may be okay with a 5-10% discount if cash flow is where they need it).For properties that fit those sellers' guidelines, I assume that I can work with a less motivated seller (maybe use 85% ARV - repairs - profit) and still make the deal happen?

What's your motivation?

They are a motivated from the call...
