Hi George,
I've done a lot of research into the note business over the last 2 years and continue to get an education on a daily basis and BP is the place to be for that. I started out in an introductory course on the NPN side of the business with Eddie Speed and Note School. Great education and worth the $400 and the $97 to join his site but I wasn't interested in paying $20k+ as an apprentice and work with a coach, etc, etc and go full time into this. Meeting him must have been a great experience. Eddie's course also touch on the PN side as well as the Partials which really interested me. So during my research I came across JW Warf from American Note Warehouse and his partial note business and education.
My experience with JW and ANW, American Note Warehouse, has been a positive one so far. To date I have 4 partials through him from another investor cash-flowing between 12% & 14% IRR. I have a 5th partial directly with ANW. They have also connected me with another investor who is property rich and cash poor looking for capital for flipping properties in Detroit. I closed on one of his deals last month. Basically JW and ANW match up sellers of notes with buyers. If you put yourself in a position contractually and legally and all your I's are dotted and T's are crossed you minimize your risk. Everyone will tell you that this is a learn by doing business because not every deal is the same. The key advice I can give you is to read this forum, ask questions, contact other investors, figure out what part of the business interests you, build your team then jump in. Hope this helps and happy investing.
