How would you advise someone looking to get started with note investing to do so in 2018 given your two points above if they don’t have any pre-existing relationships in the space?

For example, if i was on the listing side and a tenant rep broker even asked me questions 3, 4, 7 & 8 I would know that I wasnt dealing with someone familiar with the product type and therefore what is considered "market", so i have already gained an advantage.Additionally an office broker might have a pre-existing relationship with the landlord (familiarity) or the listing agent, which makes the transaction smoother. 

I recently bought a building with pre existing tenants.

Hi, I’m interested in purchasing a property that has a pre-existing lease through 2020.

It usually only affects those with pre-existing respiratory issues.The law does not require you to snap your fingers and make the issue disappear immediately.

They came out, and after 15 minutes, reasoned that the problem was a pre-existing condition--meaning they were not responsible b/c it had not broke during the time of the policy.

Adding a small loan (like the "credit builder" loan some credit unions offer) will just decrease the average age of your accounts, which is the last thing you want.The same with new credit cards.What will help is increasing limits on pre-existing cards.

Income, payroll and other forms of tax liens (state or federal) that are not property tax liens do not have priority over pre-existing liens from lenders and other things.

We deal with investors from all over the country for high equity deals, new and pre-existing multi-family properties, cash flow rentals, rehab and flip properties, large wholesale condo building buy outs, go zone properties with large tax incentives and more.

You can get title insurance but they will exclude pre-existing liens that are on record (the loan).The documentation process is pretty clear and simple.
