Hello Friends,My question is to those who deal in notes and have first-hand real life experience: what do you think is the best way to source performing notes?

Good job taking the first step and good luck on achieving your goal!

The financing must be non-recourse and there is a tax implication on the income derived from the borrowed funds (UDFI), but this can be a very powerful means to invest using leverage and achieve a higher cash-on-cash return for your IRA dollars as a result.You  cannot rollover Roth IRA funds into a Solo 401k, although such a vehicle may be of interest to you going forward since you are self-employed.

While Greece has already gotten a haircut on its debt, it is still at an unsustainably high level (partially due to the fall in GDP), even if moderate growth is achieved over the next decade.  

If they believe that they need to get more on the sale, then explain what has to be done to achieve that (ie market prep, repairs, showings, staging, etc) and especially that there will be more time involved in order to get the higher price. 

Spend some time formalizing what it is that you want to achieve and where you want to achieve that.Get to know your market backwards and forwards.

My main strategy in the short term has a few small components to it, in an effort to achieve my main life goals.

Once you achieve that, you will get off-market leads.

I suggest attending as many local REIA's as possible and ask people what they are doing in the market and why... that will give you some insight on what is going to help you achieve your goals.   

Not saying the $2500 is low or not achievable.
