Many people can be successful in doing note investing, but you have to remember that this isn’t a race.

You can’t become good unless you plunge in a big way. Learn how you can do note investing successfully as Chris and Gail answer questions and comments from other people on this open mic night.

47 min - Buying And Reselling Tapes At A Profit
It’s very easy to look at a big tape and see big ROI numbers and think, “This one is great. We should do this.” However, when you look at a big tape or any tape for that matter, you should always evaluate from the standpoint of things like how beneficial is it to buy a particular asset? How many payments are there? What makes it a great deal for a JV? Chris and Gail get into buying and reselling tapes at a profit. As Gail goes into a new CFD tape with over 650 assets on it and how to approach a big tape like it, Chris tackles how you should structure your JV agreements and touches on the process of doing his very first rehab in over 100 notes that he’s done and gives some recommendations for people who are doing some work on properties.

One of the ways to make a profit in real estate is to do rehabs. A real estate rehab is done when an investor acquires a property then sells it to make a profit. Chris and Gail talk about their experiences doing rehabs and let us in on what we can learn during the process – doing cross-country, dealing with contractors in renovation, and dealing with potential buyers. They also state some of the important things to note when you start getting more notes in your portfolio in dealing with rehabs, such as making sure you budget correctly and have reserves. Get ready to learn more about doing rehabs as Chris and Gail dive into the subject.

1 hr 7 min - The Dos And Donts Of Selling Notes And Assets
Selling notes and assets can be a tedious task. There are steps that need to be done when selling a note, REO, or CFD. This includes shutting down the insurance as soon as possible. It is also necessary to have utilities changed into the new owner’s name and that instructions are clearly delivered to from the sellers. Chris and Gail discuss the paperwork one has to deal with when selling notes and assets with all the different forms that vary between states. They also tackle how dealing with bank underwriters is a part of the steps in selling, and why any sale that does not push through can be considered an opportunity rather than a disaster.

1 hr 21 min - Keeping Investments Legal And Documented
Real estate and note investments are not only about buying and selling properties. You have to reach the back end to see what actually happens in the process.

Gail and Chris kick off with what the usual legal paperwork is for such as transfer titles, trustee deeds, and deed of assignment. As they share their journey on CFDs, find out the process in performing CFDs versus performing notes and if it is a good fit to do notes in an IRA. Also, hear Gail’s epic story about hiring a crooked contractor as they address more problems on titles, the risks with having the property in your name, and more.
