How to buy non-performing notes from lending institutions?

[Account Closed]

I'm examining the strategy of buying non-performing notes in my area from lending institutions and wanted to know if anyone had experience with this? Specifically, who to speak with at the bank? How to get banks to talk to you? How to buy specific notes instead of bundles? I'm also interested in hearing about different exit strategies besides having the note payor refinance or foreclosing on them. Thanks
