I Ok so it seams to me that with all the foreclosure happing around the only motivated sales I going to find are the ones that are Losing the Houses. Which in term means that they most likely owe more then the house is value at this time. Then you come to the problem of short sale with all the competition what can you do to stand out from the crowed.
There are plenty of other ways people get motivated to sell. Job Loss, divorce, probate, etc… These things may lead to foreclosure in the future but some want to sell way before hand and not ruin their credit. There are also plenty of people who aren’t upside down who become motivated.
