I am using the Zinus Green Tea in our vacation home. 1.5" gel topper with a thick water resistant cover.

., I am using the tools available on BP (mostly daily) to evaluate properties, reading through the forums, educating myself, have multiple strategies depending on if it's a flip or hold...just trying to get this money thing together so that I can actually pull the trigger.Really trying to get solid, as you say, on actually talking to other investors and making sure I do sound like I have a clue about what is going on!

hirecently got into the note businesss, i really like what i see so far and in the last two months have purchased three non performing 1st lien notes. looking ahead a few years from now, i would like to reach certain amount of notes while still holding my current job, allocating no more then 15 hours a week for notes, and i'm having troubles figuring out how many notes can i realistically handle in a given moment under these assumptions. wanted to get an opinion from any experienced investors around here.a few assumptions- notes are all non performing, all 1st- focusing on non judicial states- not planning to hold a note more than 18-24 months- i am using vendors for everything - loan servicing, attorneys, document handling,bpojust to give a ballpark of the amount i am thinking about, no more then 30 notes. what do you think?

My issue is I am using it for both a CRM and a project management tool.
