Learning About Real Estate Notes – Looking for Insights

[Barbara Johannsen]

I’ve recently started learning about real estate notes and how investors use them to build cash flow. On paper, they seem less management-heavy than rentals, but the due diligence part feels critical.

For those who’ve been doing this for a while:

• How do you decide between performing vs. non-performing notes?

• What strategies do you use to manage risk?

• Any stories (good or bad) that shaped the way you approach notes?

I’d love to hear your perspective. Always looking to learn from those who’ve been there and done it.
