If they are truly motivated what you tell them wont matter.

The asking price from motivated sellers can be a gift when you can find these bargains. 

In my experience, seeing those balances go down and then to zero is HIGHLY motivating and made me want to keep going. 

Hi BP friends, I have some very motivated sellers who have an abandoned house that needs to be gutted. 

It could not be remedied within 60 days for habitation (Hud rules) and probably would take a motivated person 12 months to get it livable (most would knock it down)Can an owner occupant knock down a HUD home?

I don't know if this is possible but I'm not surprised by anything in real estate investing anymore.P.S I was thinking I could request seller financing from a motivated seller, but how could I finance a full renovation, especially in an expensive market like Brooklyn?

My main motivation for the membership was probably for the tools, but I think that will come as I get closer to being ready to really start researching my first deal. 

For the cost of filing fees and service fees you get someone with the wherewithal, authority and motivation to fix your problem.

They were motivated to work hard since I would pay them a base commission for each purchase I made, and also a reduced commission on the future sale.

It was attending a seminar by a real estate guru that finally sparked my motivation to turn my curiosity into action.As someone with an IT background, I thrive on hands-on learning experiences.
