HFHQ 127: How I Became a Motivated Seller (This is Why You Can Buy Houses at a Discount)

Listen to This Episode (Audio Version for Podcast)

Something I hear from new house flippers and wholesalers all the time is, “Why would anyone agree to sell their house to me at a discount?”

Some people think no seller would ever agree to such a thing.  Or they assume you have to cheat or mislead the seller in some way to get the discount, which is totally untrue.

If you’re thinking this, you have it all wrong.

There are absolutely motivated sellers out there who will gladly sell at a discount… and I know this firsthand, because I’ve been a motivated seller myself.  

I recently found myself in a situation where I didn’t have the knowledge or resources to get myself out… and I just wanted the problem gone.  When an investor showed up to help, I was overjoyed… even though I lost thousands of dollars and knew he was going to make a nice profit off me.

None of that mattered.  I was thankful for his help.

So how did it happen?  First of all, I wasn’t selling a house… it was something else…
