We network with other fix & flippers teaching them how to properly structure a seller financed note so that it has value on the secondary market, we then buy a partial from them to take out most, if not all, of their cost basis so they can recapitalize and go do another deal. 

I don't think you will find it, but if you do, it'll cost ya.It sounds like an amazing house hack if you can move your life around to make it your primary (and the financing will get MUCH easier).

I'm thinking of doing this myself and trying to determine what this is going to cost me.

The Highway 64 property presented a great opportunity due to its low acquisition cost and potential for substantial value increase.

I would connect with other investors and go to a few free/low-cost meetups to start and learn from them the strategy and how they learned to do what they did.

With that being said we tend to see a lot of CA buyers relocate here for the lower cost of living including lower home values, property taxes, insurance, no state income tax, gas prices etc.
