Try networking at chamber of commerce meetings, networking functions (where folks with actual money attend - not the ones where folks just want to show up to look good in a suit and hand out business cards as they try to pick up women - lol).

I can't tell you how many handouts I have given over the years...

I do realize that is less renters in the overall market, but, it's also less people getting hand outs as well.

And when a creditor has a lien exceedin the value or sale price they will release the lien overage as it makes it an impossiblity to sell the property, but they will have their hand out after expenses of the sale.Good luck...

I appreciate that it is sponsored by a major trade show and not in the back room of the local Econo Lodge.

The lawyer I'm referring to gives presentations every month to the NWREI association and I was made aware of his firm through a REI trade show.

If the property doesn't pay off that inflated note amount, you may have an additional obligation or, if the debt is forgiven, Uncle Sam will have his hand out for tax liabilities, you won't escape that issue arising from a seller financed transaction.So, saying I'll give whatever price for the income from a property so long as it initially cash flows can be a big mistake.Now, so much for the down side and why you shouldn't go elephant hunting with limited cash.

The prices are ridiculously inflated due to over regulation, frivolous lawsuits, artificial demand due to government handouts, etc, etc......Most people in America have been unknowingly trading pay increases in order to retain their beloved health benefits for the past couple decades.

I’m not looking for a handout just someone I can chat with and assist a fellow newbie to getting started and off the fence.

For a more primary or secondary market I think flyers and hand outs work great.
