I use the MLS, I also have a network of wholesalers who often have some really good deals.The company I work for specializes in REI.

I suppose you know what the balloon payment is now, however most residential loans are NOT assumable and I read the ad as the seller selling as a "Subject-To" transaction as an all inclusive deed is a type of special warranty deed where the seller does not give clear title, title is subject to paying off the existing lien as agreed.
