How to find seller financed property

[Chris Hamilton]

I'm interested in acquiring seller financed properties, in and around the Ottawa area. I'm not really sure where to start.

Could anyone suggest resources to find these deals, or to find potential deals that I could then cold-call?

Also, should I be working with a real-estate agent?

Thanks.

@Chris Hamilton Before you find the leads, I would suggest you read up on the pro and con of VTB. And narrow down your search to investor own or non-investor owned homes as this will affect your presentation to them. Many investors will be willing to work with you on VTB. However if you find a non-investor owned property, be prepared to explain the pro and con of VTB to the seller and sometimes their agent.

In addition to the MLS, you can search Facebook, Kijiji and Craigslist. Also if you join the local networking groups, there will be deal sharing in those groups.

Good luck.
