Gail Villanueva and Cody Cox discuss some things you could do when life throws you curve balls, because in life, sometimes you have to be Semper Gumby. If you aren’t flexible and adaptable both in life and in the note business, then it’s going to be very difficult. Curve balls can happen sometimes, both as personal and professional events. From a note perspective, you go through training, you build your processes, and you have this plan in mind when you enter into purchasing a note. You begin with the end in mind, and so you know where you’d like to go. However, deals don’t always follow the path that you’ve envisioned from the beginning, and so you have to deal with those changes as they happen.

In the note business, the primary intent is to let the borrowers keep their home and happy about their choices. When you’re a nonperforming first note holder, you are first in line, you have a lot of flexibility going there, and you have a lot of options that you could provide the borrower to ensure that they can keep their home. Patty Ped of Aider Financials shares it’s more challenging to provide the help that they want to in a second mortgage rather than the first, and so the first is a better option for them. With nonperforming seconds, with the ROI being more, the risk is also more. Join Patty Ped and Bill Griesmer as they discuss the differences between the second space and the first space, the way you deal with things, your due diligence, your focus, the amount of time and work you would spend on the borrower and the note itself, the servicing, managing it, the entire thing.

It’s very easy to look at other real estate investing sometimes as a zero sum game where I win, you lose, or vice versa. That’s not always the case in notes. In the note business, you can positively help someone’s lives at the same time that you can earn a return for yourself and a return for your investor. Another thing is there’s a very high degree of camaraderie. You meet and work with a lot of interesting people who are very eager to help you and willing to talk with you and might give you some advice here and there. Furthermore, you don’t have to go out and leave your home all that time to be doing a lot of this work. At the same time, not everything is sunshine and rainbows. There are difficult things that some people could consider negative about the note in business. Learn about the most impactful lessons from note investing from note investors Bill Griesmer and Gail Villanueva.
