I need the real truth about NOTES

[George Frye]

I have been researching buying notes. It is so much to digest that I am not sure where to start. From what I can see the best notes to purchase are performing (if you want to earn mailbox revenue). However I am looking to start off by wholesaling notes as I am traveling out of the country alot and cant deal with actual real estate. So my Questions are:

1. Is it possible to wholesale notes.
2. What is the best way for a beginner to start off by purchasing notes
3. Which Notes would be better to purchase for a newbie (Performing, NPN)
4. Do I need to partner with a broker or is this something I can do on my own

Thank You in advance for your responses.
