How do I find Motivated Sellers??

3. Foreclosures: Check the court records and/or buy a subscription to a foreclosure list
and begin sending mailers (2 post cards and at least three letters to each person in default). Other county filings: Bankruptcies, marital dissolutions, tax liens, pre-lien unpaid property taxes, bankruptcy, Probate, etc.

4. Bus benches, car wash poster boards, billboards, bandit signs, Penney Saver, Thrifty Nickel, Green Sheet, movie theater pre-show slides, airline magazines, etc.
Also...look for abandoned properties, vacant properties, and run-down properties.

5. Expired listings, mossy listings (those that are turning green with mold, and in the MLS for the 2nd 6 months, and still haven't sold).

Remember if you deal in land trust (ie. PACTrust/EHTrust™) you are dealing in personalty, not realty...so a seller can legitimately cancel a listing and give you the property by means of a PACTrust™).
That way no sale is taking place: just a vesting with an inter vivos trustee and a lease…to you.
