@Linda Fang Consider Propelio's Free Course given by Grant Kemp, he's an Expert in Sub2's & OF. The course(s) is completely free and doesn't hide nothing or a hook to buy a mentorship/program. https://www.propelio.com/acade... and a Owner Finance course give by Dan Diaz (no relation). Same thing. Dan is awesome and his group on Facebook, OwnerFinanceMeNow is awesome. https://www.propelio.com/acade...

The way I learned Sub2's and OF is I found a mentor, approached them about bringing value to them and their operation and they took me on as a mentee. Since then I came across Grant Kemp & Dan Diaz and they've solidified my Sub2 & OF skills.

Learning from a mentor hands on it the best way but if you can't find one I highly recommend Grant and Dan's course and that you follow them on FB & Youtube.

GL and Best Wishes,

Chavel

Post: Flipster System Review - Save Your Money

6th day of the 7 day free trial offered by Flipster and still, what I consider a simple problem, has not been fixed or addressed by Flipster Customer Service Reps or “Technical Support”.

Funny as ****. I just got an email this morning telling me my “Trial Period” with Flipster ends tomorrow Nov 4th.

Yeah, a Customer Service Mgr. “April D.” sent me an email telling me she uploaded one file for me, and to use the Flipster template as that was the problem. I’ve been using the Flipster template since the beginning of my Trial Period and did so again after the email from April and nothing, the phone numbers still will not upload.

Flipster has bugs in it's system and their Customer Service/Tech Support Operation.

Tech Problem: If the only way I can use the system is to have their Customer Serv. Reps upload each of my individual files using their special template, then that doesn’t work for me, my business, or employees.

I was fortunate. If this Tech Problem had come up when I’d bought the Flipster system my business would have been in trouble and I’d lost a boatload of money as the system is marketed as an All in One system. I’d be stuck with no RVM’s, no SMS Mass Text Blasts, no emails, no nada.

Customer Service Problem: What they do is cute, annoying, but cute and clever. They don’t respond to support requests for a day or days which in real time costs you money. And when they do respond they tell you they’re going to generate an “Expedited Technical Support Ticket” to appease you and brush you off. And of course, nothing is ever done by Technical Support or anyone else. 

If I ever hear the phrase “Expedited Technical Support Ticket” again in the near future, it will be too soon.

But the cutest one of all I believe is their efforts to get out of work. You Call the (800) 952-9585 number and you won’t get a response but a message that they will call you back M-F before 5pm USA time. 

And they do call back.

5-7 minutes before 5pm and leave you a voicemail saying they’re sorry they missed you, blah, blah, and to call them again tomorrow. You call them back and all you get is another voicemail. It’s a classic brushoff by a Customer Service Rep to avoid you, your problem, and whether they care or not or are cognizant of it, costs you another day of business/$$. 

It’s not like in 5-7 minutes before their clock-out time you might answer and if you do they’ll actually have a Tech Support available to fix your problem. They log down “they did their job” and clock out. Like I said this is the cutest get outta work lazy hustle they got running.

Fortunately for me, I hadn’t signed up yet for your Fully-Paid package. I can easily see them when I send them a “Please do not charge my cc, I am discontinuing my account” message they will disregard it and still charge me. That’s how bad their customer service rep operation is.

Hi, I'm an investor in San Antonio, specializing in Sub2's and OF. I really want to improve my online marketing/FB marketing and also develop a virtual system.

We are fortunate. This pandemic has pushed us to be more virtual but I don't believe for me that is enough at this point in my business. 

I want to go full virtual if not close to it.

Thank You for the information.

Dion,

Very detailed response.  It took me a couple reads to understand and keep up with it but that's okay, that's part of my education. 

Thank You Again,

As I start my journey researching, learning, and investing in notes 2 quick questions come to mind.

1. What are the ramifications should you own the note, aren't able to modify it/get it performing again, can't get the deed in lieu, only left with starting the foreclosure process, and during the process the occupant declares bankruptcy?

2. How did the 2008 Subprime Mortgage Crisis affect Note Investing, whether buying, selling, or your inventory on hand if you were carrying notes at the time?

Thank You in Advance for any and all your responses....

Thanks @Brian Gibbons ...I'm assuming that's the case in California as it is here in Texas.  Michigan, I wouldn't presume to know...
