Im open to conventional financing or seller financing.To find properties, you can network with local agents and brokers, join local real estate investment groups, use online platforms like Zillow, Realtor.com, and Redfin, send direct mail campaigns, drive for dollars, network with property managers, and explore seller financing.Good luck!

Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

For long-term strategies, a cash-out refinance is usually more advantageous, as it preserves ownership and offers fixed terms.To proceed, start with a professional appraisal to confirm the home’s value, compare refinance terms with traditional lenders, and carefully scrutinize shared-equity program terms to ensure they align with your financial goals.

If you’re tired of competing for the same properties as everyone else, it’s time to explore off-market deals.

Be professional, kind and firm. 

Is this something I should hire a lawyer/other professional for or can I just do it myself? 

There is always money to be made and opportunities to explore in any market. 

It’s worth a look see, just do your homework up front before hiring the other professionals to make this happen.Good luck

I’m exploring the option of selling these notes and would love to get your insights on a couple of key points:Pricing Expectations:How much of the total principal should I reasonably expect to receive when selling these notes?

I aim to allocate a small amount of funds toward a Roth IRA and a high-yield savings account (HYSA).My current job offers limited opportunities for overtime, so I’m exploring side work related to real estate, such as part-time property management or similar roles.
