can it happen sure.. but its about as common as well, winning the lottery.. good places to start are just answer phones at a real estate company. 

No different than how lotteries "fund" schools. 

My advice if you’re planning to stay in Macon would be to apply for Ace’s lottery every year.

They are also nearly sold out of all current inventory, so there are waitlists and lotteries with a good number of builders for future lots, with construction on that home not beginning until 3-6 months from now.

You will need to use a third party servicer that will run you $35-$50/moIf you go to sell it down the line expect to get about 60-80 cents on the dollar as an investor will buy it and want a 10%+ returnBetter off taking your $ investing in a real estate, mutual fund or something else more liquid than a 30 year note.Seller finance should only be used when you have a turd (look up this on BP on other posts I have commented on with this strategy).To use another analogy - if you hit the lottery you take money now or annuity ?

Larger counties will use a "lottery" system to pick random accounts from the entire county that owe back taxes.If your county is not trying to sue for back taxes, go to the taxing authority and find out which firm represents them and ask about their tax suits. 

I like it for small businesss to have their own.. my sister in law has her own in her coffee shop.. and she makes money with it.. not sure how much.not quite like have lottery machines in Oregon those can make a bar owner a pretty good amount of money.

Personally I would not sell owner financing - its like winning the lottery - better off taking the lump sum payment today than it over a period of time.
