May 08, 2019Keeping Investments Legal And Documented
Real estate and note investments are not only about buying and selling properties. You have to reach the back end to see what actually happens in the process. Investors have lawyers to keep them backed up legally, and that is where the stress sometimes comes in – keeping legal documents in order. Gail and Chris kick off with what the usual legal paperwork is for such as transfer titles, trustee deeds, and deed of assignment. As they share their journey on CFDs, find out the process in performing CFDs versus performing notes and if it is a good fit to do notes in an IRA. Also, hear Gail’s epic story about hiring a crooked contractor as they address more problems on titles, the risks with having the property in your name, and more.

March 28, 2019How To Find The Right Realtor
One of the most important people you must have on your back when note investing is a realtor. However, with our different personalities, we have to make sure that we end up with the right one for us. If not, we may end up with a real torture rather than a realtor. Gail and Chris help with this as they share some of their personal stories and experiences when dealing with multiple realtors – from doing Cash for Keys deals to listing flips on MLS. They also talk about how we can determine the qualities good realtors possess – from doing interviews to looking at the listings they currently have.
