Note Night In America

We all have passions and things that we want to do. We want to pursue both passion and profits and there are things that we want to do big, but oftentimes we don’t know how to get there or we don’t know how to take the steps to get to where we ultimately want to be. We’ve all heard about the idea of chasing our passion, but that’s not always true. Chasing your passion could steal your focus away from something that could help you be profitable or keep you away from success that can actually help drive that passion into fruition. Successful people don’t chase their passion into the ground and die. If the ship goes down, they don’t go down with the ship. They kill it and move on to something else. On this Note Night in America, Scott breaks down how to have your profits fund your passions instead of trying to force your passions to work.

Choosing markets is one of the scariest things that people do. Let’s face it, if you’ve been in the note business for longer than six months, you find that not every market is created equal and not every market has the same foreclosure time frame. Most don’t even have the same inventory levels. Choosing a market investment is like buying a monopoly. You’re not going to be buying Park Place or the railroad stuff, but you’ve got to keep some things in mind when you’re playing the game, one of which is asset class availability. What’s available out there? Scott gives the lowdown on what you need to make sure of when you’re choosing and buying in a market. Love the show? Subscribe, rate, review, and share!

If you’ve never been to a note investing workshop, you may not know where to begin. One thing you always have to remember is once you make an offer and it’s accepted, it’s important to do due diligence. Due diligence, simply put, is making sure you’re getting what you’re paying for. You get as much information as you can about the property and fully investigate it for potential issues, including getting your eyes out there and doing a site inspection. Learn the three-part process of due diligence as Scott breaks down basic due diligence on your deals before and after you bid on an asset.

A successful note investor is like a professional baseball player who uses five of the best tools in his arsenal: somebody who throws, catches the ball, plays defense pretty good, runs the bases, and with his eye trained on the ball like a hawk on its prey. And when it comes to real estate and note investing, scoring base hits and home runs early on can boost your financial standing among your peers. Home runs are great. God comes with big home runs, big checks – and what causes big checks? You either bind the right price or the property has appreciated over time frame, or hold on to that note through foreclosure. You end up negotiating, maybe you speed up a foreclosure time frame and are able to offer cash for keys or the hedge fund messes up on the value. Then you see the value that you find is a lot more than what the seller believes it is, and you’re right and they’re wrong. But I’ll let you in on a secret: when you swing for the fences, when you’re constantly swinging for home runs, you’re likely to stri

Note investors are a big percentage of who we deal with, and building your note business plan is one of the most important things you can do.

If you could just spend time on a good business plan, it’ll give you more guns than anybody else.

No portfolio is too big or too small. That’s Madison Management’s company statement. Office Manager Shante Duffy talks about the services their company offers. They primarily handle loan servicing and asset management. They understand that as a note investor, you have to start with one note, test the waters, see how it goes, and move up from there. What separates them from other servicers is that they want to sit and take the time to help you out with your loans as much as they possibly can to get you familiar with how to deal with it and understand what you’re doing.

Finding a deal is always a big step for any note investor. There is also the temptation of buying from hedge funds because that means there’s less work to do. Reaching out to private sellers is a good move, too, but their assets are always the leftovers of other investors and can be overpriced at times. The secret to sourcing note sources is through public records where most information is free. This way, you find assets that other investors don’t have a clue about.

The most important tool any note investor should have is an ROI calculator. With notes, ROI calculators come with a set of rules so that you don’t kill every deal when you over-analyze everything. They differ for rentals, fix and flips and owner financing. One of the biggest and simplest rules is to pick two or three states when you’re just starting because you will have more problems than you can deal with if you spread yourself out too thin. The less variables you throw in for now, the better so you can put your focus on them.
