Many people talk about flipping and buying properties, but a niche area of real estate investing that most people are unaware of is called note buying.

Today, Clint Coons of Anderson Business Advisors talks to Bill Mencarow of Paper Source Online. The Paper Source, Inc., was founded in 1987 by Bill and his wife and business partner, Alison.

Bill and Alison have been note investors since the 1980s. Also, he is the editor and she is the publisher of The Paper Source Journal and they co-host the radio talk show, First Couple of Texas Radio.
