I do need help progressing in my chosen career path of working with notes until I can actually start investing in notes and properties myself.

If you desire to progress with a hold strategy that involves dozens of properties you will need to work with owner financed properties.

I'd see how far I could get in negotiating with the PM, but if I made no progress, I'd spend 30-60 minutes with an attorney to explore options.

Keep us informed of your progress and stay away from the GURUs that want money.

My BLC search parameters for properties in my target investing area has been static for the past three years, whereby I'd seen a steady stream of revolving inventory in my wheelhouse.

@Bryan,Trust me, there is absolutely nothing sexy about life insurance, but for my investing strategy and my clients we prefer to have our investment with a foundation of stable steady returns with cash flexibility in the future.

He's not finished, it's still a work in progress.

Welcome ,All comments above I agree with, but you’re in a small marketversus Milwaukee or Madison ( bigger local markets ) I would also check with a several local credit unions and real estate agents in Superior to gauge cost of points, credit scores, financialrequirements, etc Rehab cost – check with a few local handyman, carpenters, suppliers, and etcOne thing you have going for you is the local college - Superior -with a steady flow of students and professors looking for housing

I'm going to try to come up with some topics to blog about and might even use it to track my progress on our family's journey to financial freedom through RE.thanks againDave

Steps 1) find who the owner is - done2) find how to contact them3) ask them if they want to sell4) Get a price or some indication how motivated the seller is5) Negotiate a price - This step involves running comparables and evaluating the deal6) Figure how to structure and exit strategy7) Ink the deal - get it under contract8) Execute your exit strategyThese steps are in rough order however each deal will progress in a different way, so they may not be in exactly the same order each time but clearly you do not figure exit strategy before knowing if a house is even for sale.
