Paper Profits by Joshua N. Andrews is an excellent place to start. He covers a good deal of ground succinctly and carefully explains examples to help outline how to evaluate notes and what the common pitfalls are. He gets you up to the point where you can start to evaluate some notes and could potentially JV on something. If you're excited enough afterwards to jump right in and want to know where to find notes, PPR Note and Notes Direct are great sources to start. @Dave Van Horn has put together an excellent product with PPR Note that goes out of his way to protect his investors.

@Kevin Coleman - I'm a new note investor as well and I found Paper Profits by Joshua Andrews to be a good introduction to note investing. He includes a good deal of concrete metrics and advice that should answer a lot of your questions. It can be found on Amazon here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06Y4C7X6Y/ref=pe_385040_118058080_TE_M1DP. PPR's introductory PDF is a decent starting guide as well.

@Sean C. - I'm happy to share what I learn as I take the leap. I don't know if you've read it or not, but I found Paper Profits by Joshua Andrews very helpful (Amazon link).

@Linda Hastings those links are great. Thank you very much!

Thanks for the welcome @Elbert D.! I was thinking about investing in Chicago initially because I know the various neighborhoods/areas better. That said, one of the primary reasons that I am interested in note investing is so that I can more easily obtain geographic diversification long term.

I want to target a 15% yield per investment in order to account for the risk involved in note investing.

Thanks again for the warm welcome!

Thanks @Vivek Khoche! Will do

Aaron Vaughn - thank you very much for the invitation and I'd be happy to accept. Do you have a meet up or event coming up that I could attend?

Hi all. My name is Justin DeCamp and not only am I new to BiggerPockets, but I'm new to real estate investing on the whole. I was introduced to real estate investing and BiggerPockets through a friend and have slowly but surely become more enthralled by some of the possibilities that exist within the world of real estate. Specifically, I am interested in the idea of supplementing my income as a software developer with income from note investing. I have previous investment experience, but have never invested in real estate or notes specifically. My first goal is to invest in my first note and then make my way to holding 10 notes as I become more experienced. Thank you all in advance for your time and expertise.
