How Do You Find Seller Financing?

[Nathan K.]

Hopefully you guys can help answer this for me......I live in West Virginia and primarily invest outside the state.  I like investing near big cities, Indianapolis, Atlanta, etc.  Here's my problem, I've invested pretty much all of the cash that I have and have hit a plateau.  So my question is this, how do I find seller financed deals?  The few people I've talked to don't really have good opinions on it.  Is there a website with just seller-financed listings that I'm not aware of?  Thanks.

There are a few routes to try. Some people are targeting FSBOs and pitching seller-financing to them. Most others find seller-financed deals through pulling data on property owners in the areas they want to buy that have a lot of equity in their homes. You can target lists through a multiple list source sites, skip trace those lists, then market to those buyers through cold calling, SMS campaigns, direct mailers, and/or door knocking; amongst other routes. There is no single website to easily find them (that I'm aware of) and if there was, I'd imagine you'd be competing with 1000s of other investors.
