Finding Sellers willing to do owner financing on 2-4units

[Cody Barton]

Hi everyone,

I purchased a townhome at the end of last year and am "house hacking" Renting rooms and living in one of them but am looking to continue acquiring more properties. I am trying to find owners of 2-4plexes in Arizona (preferrably within an hour drive of Mesa, Arizona) looking to seller finance. I am not sure of the best way to market to these owners, what I have started doing is find the people who have purchased them in 2009-2013 where they have owned them for a few years and likely have some equity. I look them up in the tax records and I want to create a letter of some sort to send to their mailing adresses but I am also not opposed to going directly to their door and asking if they are interested in selling. Does anyone else have a good strategy for finding deals like this, I have great credit, stable self employment income but I do not want to do traditional loans putting 20% down. Thanks in advance!
