@Carl Fischer glad to hear you'll be at the Summit. Are you presenting? You and Steve Lloyd were the speakers at my first REIA meeting and it's been greatly inspiring in my growth since then.

Sorry if I wasn't clear @Account Closed but 30% is the return that non-performing investors look at. Yes 8-10% is what I would expect on a performing note

@Account Closed

If you want to move higher from the standard 8-10% you are hearing consider attending the mid Atlantic Summit in Philly this April 21. Real experts and real note investors from around the country and many from the BP community are already booked. This is not a selling event-If interested check it out on line this code “CRL10” may also provide you a discount- CRL10.

Please forget the reits as well, they will not perform well and have not been doing well in a raising rate environment

@Account Closed- good question...

I would recommend discussing this with someone knowledgeable in the area you are most interested in: whether it is IRA, notes, or something else. Being able to have a conversation that takes all your details into account will get you a whole lot smarter and in a better position to decide. Asking the question in a forum will get you many responses and it can make deciding difficult. Choose the one thing you think would be best and talk to an expert in that area.

Good luck!

@Dave Van Horn just released a new book on notes. I recommend it highly. It should answer questions and provide new strategies for the experienced as well as the newcomers. 

@Account Closed I would say as a beginning note investor that your question on returns is not an easy one to answer and the note industry is not like more popular real estate arenas like buy and hold or flipping where there's more literature and information to find out about it. Learning notes is more like learning a foreign language where the best way to do it is go and live in the country and immerse yourself in the culture. You likely won't have much luck googling the answers you want in notes. 

Roughly most active note investors I would guess target returns in the 30% and up neighborhood on non-performing notes. If you're looking at performing the easiest way to think of it as imagine you're the bank on you're on mortgage note (if you have one). At par you're making the state interest rate on the note. At a discount you're higher depending on the discount.

What about dividend paying stocks like At@t or Verizon yielding north of 5%?

is it just me or is every conventional investment "yield starved". Stocks very close to overvalued if not already, bonds stink in a rising interest rate environment, real estate is risky now(home prices bounced well above the trend line)and way below normal on yield.R.e. notes may be the only thing to consider unless you are brave enough for bitcoin 

@Account Closed have you considered cash value insurance? I would not consider this an "investment" however in comparison to some other "safer" accounts this could be a strong alternative. Insurance contracts offer additional asset protection, higher yields than most savings accounts/CDs, and there's usually liquidity (tax free).    

You can buy a performing note and get an 8-10% yield with minimal hassle.
