It depends on the state as your information could be limited on the other sources.

From my first few weeks getting up to speed, it's definitely become daunting trying to source solid deals in Denver. 

In my experience, the best notes often come from a mix of sources depending on your strategy:Direct from banks or lenders: Often the cleanest deals with clear documentation, but sometimes require more upfront networking.Brokers: They can package notes and provide access to deals you might not find on your own, though fees can apply.Secondary markets/online platforms: Good for smaller investors or those looking for volume, but you need to do your due diligence carefully.Personally, I combine these approaches, building strong relationships with a few banks and brokers while occasionally checking secondary markets for off-market opportunities.How about you do you have a preferred channel for sourcing high-quality notes?

Does anyone else feel like they aren't using their time as efficiently as they'd like when sourcing their deals?

Even if someone passes, they’ll respect that you’re bringing them deals they don’t have to “re-underwrite.”Out of curiosity — are you mainly sourcing in Middle TN for flippers, or are you also pulling in buy-and-hold investors?

I take the time to source them from the USA or Canada for the most part.

With high interest rates making traditional financing tougher for investors, are you seeing more of your deals funded through private money or alternative lending sources in today’s market?
