Some of my very BEST Source of Leads have always been…
1) When people (Contact ME) 2) from building relationships over time 3) Specifically Being Known in Bigger Cities 4) As the guy who does rural and small town properties all over Texas, 5) and now, selectively, other states. 6) Because I am also known for doing creative finance and seller financing. 7) Here is one of my latest leads I just got yesterday, as I am traveling Hi Mark, my name is Michele We connected on Skool back in April. I'm in San Antonio, TX My partner's got a few properties and we're looking for a buyer but they're both in small towns Would you want more info? (Of Course!) 1 small SFH but sits on 3 lot property, south of San Antonio in growing area (I often may keep one of these as a rental? Path of growth & appreciation: And see if there is room to allow a repo double wide on one or more of the lots? To maximize cash flow) AND 11 rental units package in small town in North TX near OK border. (That is Oklahoma) These are the kinds of things that I look for specifically because 1) Texas has got some of the very BEST Landlord-Tenant Laws 2) Most of the time, there are Very Few Investors in Rural & Small Town Areas, 3) My Focus is Keep the Best and Sell the Rest & Get Paid THREE Times! Once When I Seller finance with 20% down, and two create a note with monthly payments the same as what they are currently paying in rent, and I get monthly cash flow. And because I am buying below market and selling retail, I get paid when they improve their credit & do a refinance. Hope that helps some of the newer people!

@Mark Pantak I’m on the lender side, and I buy notes like the ones you create. At 20% down the note is easier to sell later, since a small down payment usually means a bigger discount. Do you underwrite the buyer yourself or use a third party? And do you sell any of your seller financed notes or keep them to maturity (or refinance)?

@Mark Pantak Appreciate the detailed response, there’s a lot of valuable experience in it. I agree there’s a big opportunity here for people on the real estate side to create seller financed notes, and the demand for good, properly originated ones is real. I’ve been on the flip and rental side for many years, and we’ve moved fully into notes. Inventory is the hard part, so the relationships you describe matter. I’ll send you a DM - would love to connect.
What’s your why for getting into real estate?
Everybody says they want “freedom” But what do you really want? - Quit your job? - Replace your income? - Build rental cash flow? - Leave something for your family? - Stop living deal to deal? - Take better care of your family? No fluff! What’s your real reason?

Break the dependency of active income - instead looking for passive income. Explored a few strategies over the years and landed on mortgage notes as the primary focus.
