People get interested in real estate then realize there is some work involved and life just gets in the way.

if anybody knows people who are involved with buying and selling non performing and performing notes please list there names by replying to my post, thank yousome other strategies that i've came up with to find notes for sale are researching institutional buyers and sellers for mortgages back securities 

I have been involved off and on in the rental business with my dad and grandpa.

Real estate involves leverage which increases risk and is very illiquid.

But happy to hear from the other side.For example, maybe someone who does developments could chime in, but my guess is the numbers on building new affordable housing just aren't compelling, and if policy/markets shift so that it is attractive, you're going to have a lot more BP forum discussions with everyone asking how to get involved (which would be a positive for low income families because supply will go up and rents eventually come down)

There is no "best' method, you gotta do them all in today's world. 

Read The Straight Path To Real Estate by Kris Krohn to better see the methods and strategies I use Personally.

I know that no matter what our first deal looks like, there will be some kind of rehab involved and I want to learn-by-doing as much as I can.I don't have an abundance of time, as I work full-time as a Product Manager in Technology for Disney...but I have some evenings to spare and most weekends with enough notice.

If heirs are involved they will need to put the estate through probate to transfer title properly. 

If I might ask how much do you have in the property and is hard money involved?
