I'm looking to do the same thing by leveraging my equity in my home; however, I was advised to only use 25% of my equity for a down payment in the event of depreciation.

It never failed, if I felt the responses to mailers were not up to par, I would plan a 4 hour driving event, on a given Saturday.

Besides the local reia we're also having a free networking event this Thursday in East Providence.

I plan on attending next month - currently traveling during the next event :-/

@Chris Seveney offers that [most notes are owned by institutional investors] but, in any event, that's not where to look if you intent to broker or flip.According to public records, there were at least somewhere in the neighborhood of 100,000 new seller-financed 1st position notes created in 2018 alone.

Include them in your discussions and day to day events. 

I can't even begin to count the number of deals and connections that have happened at my own Black Diamond events. 

What you gave me was a rationalization based on hope, and future events you didn't mention, but you have no control over.6 - Ok...but how, where?

Of course, COVID have broke that good flow for me, however, I am assuming this is a once in a life time event, we will probably not got through again.

Do you know of any local events/workshops to network with other real estate investors?
