After discussing some Oklahoma CFD updates, Chase dives in on improving your Aweber email template, as well as Mailchimp. After that he talks briefly about the deal flow issues people are experiencing in the note investing industry.

On today’s episode, Chase is flying solo as Robert is down in Haiti for a charity project called Children First. We’ll have more to report on that when Robert returns for next week’s show.

Starting out with the CFD, it was a really good deal and a lot of the due diligence they did on the front end made it look like it would not be a modification as previous owners of the note were unable to get a hold of the owner. However, right after they bought it, the borrower came into the picture. As soon as they reached out to him with some modification paperwork, he disappeared again so now they’re dealing with a deadline on a loan mod. They’ve got about two weeks left until the deadline arrives so keep your ears peeled as Chase will give updates as they come along.

Moving on to the next piece, Chase discusses the value of transparency overall and especially, transparency within your marketing. This is the segment that would be extremely beneficial to watch over on YouTube as Chase walks the listeners through some excellent email marketing best practices. And shows you exactly how to make better a Aweber email template. He also covers how to do it in Mailchimp.

The final segment analyzes current deal flow and why the well seems to be drying up for many. Chase goes into a story about deals where the numbers made sense for around $800,000 worth of notes, but the buyers were still not able to lock down the deals. Chase also notes that he’s seeing some interesting things from seller’s and ongoing news pieces as mortgage debt levels are nearing or exceeding the levels we had back in 2007 through 2009 in many parts of the country. One of the key lessons he notes is that if you’re not able to have a rational conversation with the sellers to negotiate a fair value then don’t be afraid to walk away! The last thing you want is to buy into a bad deal or a deal where the margins are razor thin.
