- Hidden Family Culture Prejudices That Keeps You From Being A Note Investor

Join Gail and Chris as they talk about the family culture that prohibits you from doing what you want to do in note investing while sharing the ways they dealt with their own. They also share about how note investing is learning not by theories but by application, and how it is about diversifying investment strategies.

43 min - How To Find The Right Realtor
One of the most important people you must have on your back when note investing is a realtor. However, with our different personalities, we have to make sure that we end up with the right one for us.

They also talk about how we can determine the qualities good realtors possess – from doing interviews to looking at the listings they currently have.
