Your Big Domino of the Note Business
By
Cash Flow Expo is only one week away but before we get into any of that we have to ask you a really odd question... ...Do you remember as a kid spending hours carefully stacking dominos one after another in a row until at some point you knock over the first one and watch them all fall down? I would spend hours setting it up. Later, as it got more ‘advanced’ you would incorporate other objects; have dominoes fall off tables and chairs, slide across a plate, even flip a light … [Read more...]

Think Only The Wealthy Can Purchase Notes? Think Again.
By
When I first learned about purchasing notes it was a wild several weeks. I learned how to use a financial calculator, which in itself would forever change the way I looked at money. It was an easy decision to decide which side of the cash register I wanted to be on. Secondly, I learned about ‘flipping’ notes on to private investors and funders – people with money to purchase deals. In exchange, I would receive a handsome referral fee – costing me relatively nothing out of pocket. Lastly, I … [Read more...]
Purchasing Small Notes Can Equal Big Profits
By
They say that good things come in small packages. When it comes to investing in real estate notes, this can be very true for several reasons. For starters, this is one of the only investment opportunities I know where you can get in at a low cost of entry. For example, you can purchase a small note or even part of a note. I am not a franchise expert, but I am pretty sure Wendy’s isn’t going to sell me part of a store. Sure you can purchase larger notes, but not everyone wants to … [Read more...]

50 Ways To Leave Your…SFH Note
By
A mistake many investors and brokers make is to focus solely on notes secured by single family houses (SFHs). Unfortunately, that is a last-century approach. The lowest interest rates in recorded history have meant that our Springer Spaniel could qualify to buy a house. So most homeowners have had no reason to offer seller financing. The Dodd-Frank Act of 2010 also negatively impacted the creation of notes, most likely because its complexity and consequent potential liabilities discourages … [Read more...]
Find Notes To Buy On Demand With Notes Direct
By
I have a confession to make. One of the most frustrating parts of note investing is FINDING the notes. Why do you think investors, big and small, work with brokers and referral sources? Investors want to INVEST in real estate notes…not spend their time looking for notes. I know I’m not alone in this feeling. I get calls and emails all the time asking… Where Do I Find Notes To Buy? Performing and Non-performing notes are primarily bought at a discount from one of three places: … [Read more...]
