Today we talk to Scott Carson, President & CEO of weclosenotes.com.  Scott has been in the mortgage, finance, and banking industry since 2001 and an active real estate investor since 2002. He has been actively buying notes on residential and commercial properties since 2005. At We Close Notes, Scott and his team buy pools of distressed assets on residential and commercial properties directly from banks and hedge funds. Scott’s podcast The Note Closers Show also covers this note investing education. On our show, Scott explains that long-term capital gain notes are notes that Scott holds for about a year before selling the loan. He prefers buys from regional lenders and smaller local banks. Scott tells us that looking into notes, occupied homes are actually better because then it is easier to work with the owner on repayment options and the property is more often taken care of and kept up with. Listen for more great advice on buying notes with Scott Carson.

Today Leafy host Jennifer talks to Kate Frank, book coach and ghostwriter who is committed to helping nonfiction authors make a profit. Kate believes that abundance comes from a personal branded platform, enhanced visibility of your experiences and the doors of opportunity opening wide to you in ways a non-author could never experience. Kate has a unique ability to adapt to the “voice” of her client authors, no matter their area of expertise.  Kate tells us that when writing, you need to think as though you are writing for an audience of one.  Clearly define your target reader by asking yourself “What ages are they, what their gender is, and what their line of work is”. Then you create your ‘avatar’ or ‘persona’ and that person sits with you and you are talking to that avatar every time you write.  Kate goes on to tell us that when you are marketing, place all of your audience in categories A through D and then delete your “D” list, because they are the least appreciative and will destroy your relationship with your “A” and “B” audience. Listen to the full episode to hear more great advise from Kate.
