Several years ago I worked for a real estate broker who was successful with brokering notes, but I nevergot involved myself.Are you still holding on to your notes?

When a Realtor is involved, it seems more like a “home owner to home owner sale”, rather than a home owner sale to an “investor”.A Realtors commission is based on the sales price, just like on any other regular sale… And, the lender will pay real estate commissions to sell as that is a “normal” practice.

This was the least profitable deal I've ever done for the amount of risk involved.

I really believe in being ethical where all parties involved come out in a win-win situation.

The lender is not involved... unless you are asking them to take less than what they are owned.

I have been involved with real estate for the past few years.

This is a way for you to get involved and dive into the REI world without 2 nickles to rub together.

I am fearful of getting involved in talking to sellers without a clear knowledge of how I would sell.

It can be if there are politics involved, but that would entail 99% of the economy where there is some sort of regulation on every issue in the economy so that would make every financial conversation political in some way.
