How do I get started Investing in non-performing notes?

[Justin Cabral]

Not sure about you guys but I thought last weeks Podcast was pretty powerful. It really got me interested in looking into purchasing non-performing notes. 

I read up on it since and have a better understanding of how it works. I just don't entirely understand the level of risk involved yet. In all the due diligence I have done I have only seen the positives which kind of scares me because I don't want to be surprised with the negatives after already making a move.

Any suggestions on how someone should get started or how I should go about finding a mentor that is well experienced in note investing?
