Newbie Note Investor from Michigan

[Dominic Silvestri]

Hi there. Wanted to say hi and introduce myself and thank everyone for all of the amazing information on this forum.

On a long 7 hour drive (one way) last week, I found Kevin Shortle's podcasts and devoured all of them. As a real estate and litigation attorney I've fought, enforced, foreclosed, negotiated and defended 1st and 2nd mortgage liens - but never thought to invest in them [smacking head into wall]. If anyone has any "recommended reading", to further my education in this area, I would appreciate the insight.

In exchange, I'd be happy to help with any Michigan legal related questions. Either way...just wanted to say hi and thanks!

Hello Dominic,   you have a great vantage point of being real estate attorney and glad to see the light bulb went on to consider investing yourself.  Some good books to provide a good foundation in this area that I started with and recommended,  the are all active note investors

• Josh Andrews:  Paper Profits
• Martin Saenz Note investing made easier and Note Investing Fundamentals
• Dave Van Horn Real Estate Note Investing
• Alex Goldovsky  Bulletproof Title Due Diligence
• Fuqan Bilal Turning Distress into Success
• Bill Bymel Win Win Revolution
• Jim Napier Invest in Debt

Kevin Shortle also has a book Real Estate without renters,   I haven't read it but I'm sure it contains some good information based on Kevin's podcast and experience.   These will give you a good foundation and you'll notice some of the information overlapping and pick up a additional nugget or two from each approach,  as you know each individual note investment will be different.
