The way I’ve done this is; I find a note for sale, offer to buy 100% of the notes remaining payments.Then I broker a portion of the note to a sophisticated institutional investor and I place the "Tail End" of the remaining payments in my pension fund for tax-free growth.For example, and keep in mind I’m making up figures for example only.

The best way to start is doing one purchase of one note, from an individual or broker, not going to institutional traders that are going to toss out the chafe to you in Florida.

What I would ultimately love to setup would be a seller carry back deal where I put the money I do have as my down payment, get the rest from the seller as a second, and finance the majority of it through a tradition institution.
