New Note Investor, New to BP

[Joe Tomko]

Greetings from the Lehigh Valley (Allentown, Bethlehem, Easton) of Pennsylvania!  I've already learned a lot from the old podcasts and from some discussions on the forums.

I've been investing with my SD IRA (CamaPlan is a great custodian, I have no financial interest) since 2012, in my business since 2014. I've done hard money lending (good experiences with Carolina Hard Money, no conflict of interest), I've done some rehab-resell deals, invested in a tax lien fund, own multifamily in the Lehigh Valley. I have an investor who wants me to buy a larger MF, but I cannot find one in my area. Currently looking throughout CO, SC, GA, NC. I'm looking to leverage his money along with bank financing to get into a bigger deal.

I have made mistakes and learned a lot.  A hard learned lesson is a well learned lesson.

What I think will be my focus going forward is notes....firsts, seconds, performing, non-performing.  I just signed up for a free online course through NoteSchool.com....does anyone have any feedback on them or on Scott Carson?  I'm looking for good training and I may also want to get a mentor for the first few deals.

I look forward to helping anyone who wants my help and also learning more about notes.

For those who are on the fence with investing, the best time to plant a tree is 20 years ago.  The second best time is now.

P.S.  If you are from the Lehigh Valley, please send me a PM.  I'd like to expand my Master Mind group.  -JJT
