It's no secret that the housing market has gone down the drain and everyone knows that now is the best time to get into the real estate market.  The reason now is the best time to receive training is because when the market starts to improve you can ride the wave into success so now is the time to get involved.  Anybody can make money when the housing market is doing well, but only a select few make ends meet when things are bad.

Before the mortgage meltdown, the same goal that was drilled in beginning real estate investors heads was to look for motivated seller leads.  During that time motivated sellers were very elusive and if you found one then you struck gold.  Those types of leads could have made you bundle back then when things were really good.

Now that the market has crashed in most cities across the country, you have more motivated sellers than there ever were.  There are sellers right now that would give you their homes and pay you take them off of the hands.  The problem now is, now one really wants majority of the motivated seller deals because they are worthless.
