Joker brokers in note investing
Have you heard the term, a joker broker?
In the note business today it seems like many are looking to make a quick buck and attempt to “broker” a note deal.
If your new to investing, the three key signs to a joker broker are:
1. They want a deposit (never give a deposit)
2. They want proof of funds
3. They want you to close in 72 hours
These are just the tell-tale signs. Please feel free to add to this list.
Lastly- please note there are many legitimate note brokers out there.
