When it comes to real estate investing, note investing is not as well-known. Myths pervade this type of investing, but you can buy and own mortgage notes and be the one receiving the monthly payments, just like a bank does! With most investments, you invest, wait for it to increase in value, and then sell, but with note investing, your investment is backed by a hard asset, and you get paid while you wait!

We always preach to know, like, and trust who you’re investing with, but it may be more important to understand what you are investing in and how the business plan can succeed.

Just because the sponsor says it’s a good deal doesn’t make it a good deal. You need to understand the numbers and what makes it a good investment. Warren Buffett doesn’t just invest in companies because he likes the CEO and neither should you.
