I want to set up a web site and solicit to sell mortgage notes I am holding to investors, some of whom from overseas.

I wonder if I could set up a web site online and sell partial notes to other investors.

If I was at Stanford in the mid/late nineties and was doing research on the best search / crawling algorithm on the web, then the best business strategy would have been to get into search.However, 7 years later, probably not.It really depends, a lot, on a lot of things.

That and I work pretty solidly as an EMS pilot for my regular work (I work 12 days out of every 14).
