1. Clear timeline
"ASAP" or "in the next 30 days" is the strongest signal. "Just curious" almost never closes.
2. Real motivation
Foreclosure, inheritance, divorce, relocation, repairs, tired landlord — these are the 6 motivations that close.
3. Flexibility on price
A seller who insists on retail pricing is not a wholesale deal. Qualify for price flexibility early.
4. Property condition
Cosmetic + structural issues are your playground. Turnkey is not.
