Quote from @Eric Gerakos: My wife and I buy many “fractional” notes where we live in California.

I live in a rural market and this type of issue with technology may not be as big a factor in urban areas.

I live in the Milwaukee area and want to get started investing locally but eventually want to branch out into other cities and states.

I plan to move down to Miami to be closer to more investors and a better quality of living.

I own 3 SFR in Columbia MO (I live in KCMO) and was using property mgmt, but due to similar difficulties you faced, I opted to self manage and stopped using my mgmt company.

We were there looking for another property that we could buy together on the beach that we could rent out as a short-term vacation rental.We we're living it up and having a fantastic time zip lining, eating delicious food, and seeing the monkeys in the wild.it seems like from the moment I returned from that trip in August 2022 the real estate market completely changed.

I live in the greater Maryland  area.

I wanted a house for myself to live in and I had been living with parents for two years to save money.

@Felicia Vinces it sounds like you missed our Year End Live show and Podcast of "Real Estate Notes Show' where 2 15 year experience note investors break down what makes a note valuable.  

Buyers don't look for financing and its foreign so they don't jump on a forsale listing on zillow.I've had the best (only) luck with zillow rental adds,   starting with the pitch;  rent to own, live in a great home while you pay off owning it.
