Look for motivated sellers off market and market via cold calling and or direct mail, geofencing, advertising and the like.A good wholesaler is as @Ericka Parrott mentioned, direct to seller, did good underwriting and can deliver an actual "Deal" whether buy and hold or flip. 

What would I need to do to structure the note in order to have a note buyer come in and buy the note or buy a partial enough to pay off the 215k at closing and still have some difference coming to me or the note revert back to me after the partial was paid for. 

Buy a 2-4 unit, close to home.

But an investment-focused agent brings way more to the table than just writing offers.Finds off-market deals you’d never see on Zillow.Negotiates beyond price—think seller credits, better terms, and saving you $$$.Spots risks & hidden costs so you don’t get burned.Thinks long-term—helps you buy with appreciation, rental income, and future wealth in mind.Has key connections to lenders, contractors, and off-market opportunities.If you’re looking at this as an investment, the right agent doesn’t just cost you—they make you money.

So if you see any let me know and ill buy it! 

Steven, I wanted to get your thoughts on a few Philadelphia suburbs based on my buy box.

Quote from @Alex Spivey: I want to start renting as soon as I can so does anyone have adviceYou want to find a place to rent and occupy, or you want to buy an investment that you can rent to others?

One thing you might do is sell your more expensive properties and buy less expensive ones. 

We ran out of time which caused us to buy a couple properties we probably shouldn't have at the bottom of our exchange list.The better ones were sold before we could buy them. 

Are the other properties you're buying in/around Macon?
