Responding to Negativity

[Anya Sagee]

I recently spoke with several friends about investing in defaulted mortgage notes and they had a negative response. They didn't explain why specifically, just that "they'd heard Notes were a bad investment". This doesn't deter us in our note investing journey, but curious how others with more NI experience respond to this kind of objection?

@Anya Sagee you don't need to respond.  Just change the subject and go with your plan.  Investing in notes is risky and a bad idea if you don't know what you're doing.  Driving a car with proper training isn't a good idea either. It's easy to be negative when you don't understand something. It's not your job to educate them or change their minds.  Good luck and don't give up.
