I have only taken Scott’s so I cannot comment on others but his training has been instrumental in my development where I have bought 60+ notes in past 18 months a good real estate calculator will have a PV function.. that is the heart of the matter in note investing.. just learn how to do that one function first off.. 

My best advice is to determine what/where you are looking, be automated in your searches, get financing in order, move quickly on deals and most definitely feel free to reach out to others that know the markets you are interested in.

Mainly, the systems implemented are fascinating (VA, automated offers, etc.)

I also like that once you set it up it’s completely automated and you don’t have to mess with it again.  

Since most notes/mortgage change hands frequently, most lenders will get their instruments recorded. 

At some point (it may be too early), you will need to start thinking about business succession planning, and when that comes to play, understanding what your options are will be instrumental in helping you make a good decision for your financial future.

Obviously this is extremely difficult, but automation is quickly gaining traction so i try to account for that.

Since then I have looked into it further and am looking into a product by assured automation at the website flows.com (no affiliation) that will allow me to get the info on the internet with either wifi or if not available, a yearly cell subscription.

Not the most stable instrument for a longer term hold. 

Also "no lease" because you are in a month-to-month period of an existing lease and "no lease" because you don't have an instrument to take to court to evict someone are two totally different situations.
