Getting started with finding seller financing?

[Alex Tsor]

I just intro-ed myself yesterday and the DMs went crazy thank you y'all!  Here is the context: I'm an investor out in California and have $30k to get started. The goal is to build a rental portfolio overtime. Folks have suggested finding seller financing so to that end, I will have to go out there and hunt for deals. The $30k should basically be going towards the property, so I don't have a lot left for whatever tooling. Here is what I have seen so far wondering what everyone else's experience has been with them.

1. PropStream + Excel Sheet:  $199/mo basically seems like the smallest plan to include phone numbers. I can dial from my personal cell, seems like a good starting point, but I am concerned I might not be able to keep track of all the dials I am making?
2. XLeads + Go High Level: $97 + $97 = $194/mo. I'm pretty sure XLeads also have skip tracing, but I heard the quality is not as good? And Go High level seems like a CRM most folks use.
3. Goliath Data: $99 or $299/mo - It could be the cheapest or the most expensive option. Seems like it has owner data and CRM built in for both plans. It definitely looks the best, but I am not sure if the $299 to have an AI pick up missed calls or have an AI receptionist is worth it or not.

I want to find my first creative financing deal Ideally in Fresno CA before March of next year. I want to save as much money as possible while making sure I have the tooling necessary to reach that goal. What would you guys do?

 Haha this is too funny Ken. Roger references your list. You guys don't know each other?

See, @Steve K.: That's why it's so fun to respond you your clueless posts. You don't read what people have written and you misquote them.  That is not the fault of the poster.

Of course we know each other, he's a student. 
Did you not read:?

"So, Good Job @Roger Hobbes: You did that well. Now, we will train on sourcing off market opportunities that show why being a little different, is being a lot richer. Meet me at the Rally Site and we'll set up there."

I can help people who need help, (not that you asked for help) but I can't help people who won't read the material, online or offline. Oh well, that part has always been and will always be true I suppose. People will be people. 

This is supposed to be a “gotcha”? I’m not the only one who called you out for being both Roger and Ken pal, and given that there were questions about you being both Mike and Ken for awhile previously, I’m not sure why you expect anyone to just take you for your word that Roger is your “student” and not your second shill account. Sorry, not buying it at all but carry on, I don’t really care it’s just kinda funny that you actually linked to your own article and didn’t think anyone would notice.
