2 hr 6 min - The Top 20 Ways To Find Note Deals, Come Rain Or Shine!
Where Do You Find Notes?
I was looking back at our catalog of content and realized that I haven't shared the top ways that we find note deals in some time. So I pulled out my presentation from the 20-Day Note Challenge we hosted two years ago and updated it for 2023!
That's right! I'm going to share the Top 20 Ways To Find Notes on Monday night! Some sources will sound familiar and some will definitely be new for a lot of people (especially if you don't market on a regular basis). We'll share a few platforms, some outside-the-box ways, and our tried and true proven ways we've harvested note deals for over 16 years, come rain or shine!
There are other ways to find notes, but I wanted to make sure and share the best ways that we and our students have been harvesting performing, reperforming, and nonperforming notes since I started back in 2007 (and no, we don't spend time on costly and low-converting direct mail leads). Tune in now to discover the multiple paths toward these note deals!

46 min - My Biggest Nuggets From the FinCon Expo
FinCon: Where Money & Media Meet
I just got back from spending several days in New Orleans at the 2023 FinCon Expo. FinCon is the largest collection of content creators in the finance space (hence the tag Where Money & Media Meet). This is my third year of attending and I always come away from this event with tons of tips, tools, and strategies to implement and help tweak our business. Besides the strategies, the networking at FinCon is second to none as everyone (over 2,500 attendees) is focused on providing value to their different audiences no matter their niche of finance.
And guess what? I'm bringing back the biggest takeaways and nuggets that I learned while in the Big Easy that I believe will help you the most when it comes to finding deals, raising capital, and closing more! I've made sure to dust off all of the powdered sugar from the beignets at Cafe du Monde. You will eat up these tips like you are eating the best seafood gumbo!

40 min - Questions You Should Ask Investors When Raising Private Capital
Most new real estate investors find it intimidating to talk with prospective investors to raise capital for their note or other real estate deals. What do I say or ask them so I don't look like an idiot? The answer to that question is pretty easy if are coachable and understand that it's more about asking questions an listening to the answers than looking like you know everything.
But unfortunately, if you are new to this side of business it can feel very uncomfortable the first couple of times you end up talking to a funding partner. So that's why we decided to share our version of 20 Questions For Prospective Investors to help you take the guesswork out of your prospecting.
20 questions to ask a prospective investor in the 1st and 2nd calls as you build trust and relationship.
1. Have you invested in (insert what it is your proposing / real estate, oil/gas, etc.) before?
a. How did that turn out for you?
2. When you invest, what are you looking for? Appreciation, income, tax benefits?
3. What's your time horizon? Are you comfortable with an investment of 3 to 5 years?
4. What has made the biggest difference amongst your most successful investments?
5. Tell me about some of your most successful investments?
6. What is your top concern?
7. If you could own this in your IRA/ qualified plan, would you invest?

10. How diversified do you think your investment portfolio is?
11. Are you looking for less volatility in your investments? Would you want something that has more predictability to it?

16. What value might you add to my business other than an investment? (Can they contribute expertise in any way)
17. How important are the "tax benefits" of an investment? Would you be interested in an investment that can reduce your taxes?
18. Do you rely on anyone else in analyzing and/or reviewing investments? (CPA, financial planner, attorney, or other) Volunteer to send materials to that other person as well.
19. Are you looking for income at this stage in life? (Ask this if your proposed investment will generate income for someone)

26 min - 5 Success Tips for New Note InvestorsWould it surprise you that there is a 90% failure rate of people failing to take action after attending an investment workshop or conference? Less than 10% of people take action! All that time, energy, and money spent on learning something only to do nothing. That's like going to school to be a doctor only to just work at 7-Eleven instead. Why is that?My opinion is that educators are great at teaching the nuts and bolts of a topic but horrible on delivering actions and marketing that will help their students achieve success. Or they hold out on the "secret sauce" as a way to limit deal flow or try and sell coaching that doesn't pay off. If you know me, I'm determined to help my students close deals as I am a believer that there is plenty of deal flow to go around IF you'll take action. But taking action is only one step in the process!So tonight on Note Night in America, I'll break down the 5 Tips for Success as a Note Investor. I'll share how you can overcome your fear or failure to take action to help you find success as a note investor! Closing on your first note deal can bring a huge level of confidence that leads to bigger and better things!
