Quote from @Jim Rice: Would like to connect with Mortgage Note Investors/Buyers/Sellers of "Paper" (1st/2nd/PL/NPL) in SE USA (primarily AL/MS/GA/TN & Panhandle of FL).

We're willing to live almost anywhere in the greater Sacramento area based on what we can afford, provided of course that the property is in a decent neighborhood that has a good chance of attracting responsible tenants.As for budget, I believe we could get a conventional loan for properties up to $600k, but my strong preference is to find a distressed property (or seller!)

Do you know where I could find/access lists of seller carry back notes?   

- to afford monthly payment to the "seller" of that property which is you.

The appreciation will come when its a sellers market.

Is it true that marketing and advertising to find motivated sellers could be thousands of dollars a month?

So, I’m curious how you are managing to find your deals, whether you are buying at auctions or via marketing direct to sellers.

hyper forcus on one area and go under contract directly with the sellers.

Seller Financing / Sub-To: Take over payments or negotiate terms with sellers to minimize upfront costs.  

Hi Chris, I don't have any context regarding the seller's situation so no comment on the land trust.
