Hello everyone. I am getting back into note investing and want to know if anyone sees an opportunity in the market for this to be worthwhile.

My speculation is if a downturn occurs, an opportunity to buy notes at discount should present itself favorably. What are everyone’s thoughts?

Post: Note Investing During A Pandemic

There has been much uncertainty the majority of this year as the world went on lock down in response to the greatest public health crisis in over a 100 years. There is much debate about this pandemic, was there an overreaction with the lock downs? Are masks really useful and do we really have to wear them? No matter your stance on the various debates flooding our news reels, one important area of discussion I haven't heard much about is how this pandemic is affecting note investors?

Note investing to me has been a unique opportunity to become a private lender but mitigating the risk of origination. Being able to buy already established notes on property has been rewarding thus far. However, with the impact the current pandemic is having on the economy, the fear of mass evictions and foreclosures to plague the market soon, I would like to see what others thoughts are on the impact to note investing. I am bullish and in fact I believe there will be some incredible opportunities to acquire performing and non-performing notes at some great discounts. 

Please leave your thoughts here on what you think and lets connect.

@Daniel Haberkost degrees and certifications in real estate are good as the information you learn, but being an investor its not needed. Experience and working with seasoned investors is key to success.

After several years of being in real estate, I have came across all players in the industry. I have seen many strategies from Fix and Flip to Buy and Hold but I have to say that the private notes business has caught my eye. Its amazing to have witnessed how notes have changed many people’s lives, from giving extra security to one’s retirement portfolio, or having the ability to get a property for a discounted price. I have only seen great benefits in the note business and I believe many other Real Estate Investors should look more into it.
Hey Joel definitely have to connect. I have three big commercial deals that I know you will find interest in. Please connect with me, and I’ll introduce you to my network of deals that you can’t walk away from.

If you have direct contact with the seller, there are many creative solutions to make the most out of your deal. Could set up a land contract, and then create a note on the property and sell the note off. I have plenty of note investors who would buy

Have you ever considered being a private investor? Greater return in a short amount of time as well as a way to come across great deals with minimum amount of money. Should discuss more.
