I wanted to know if anyone has had sucess, or has heard of anyone who has been successful by partnering with Charter Financial to buy discounted notes, lottery winnings, etc?

charter is a nice icebreaker into note brokering for newbies. There standards for purchasing are higher than most in the industry Your investment fee is refunded upon your first deal They teach you 10% of the industry, how to broker for them which is understandable But they are real and so is the Money

1. Check with the states AG for any complaints. 2. Look for some Meet Up groups in the area of where they are located and post your question. 3. Do a google advance search with your question and see what you get. 4. Ask them for a copy of their purchase agreement and have it reviewed by attorney to see if the terms are acceptable to you. 5. If you buy notes require they give you the collateral file for review before purchase, if they won't then pass them by. An incomplete collateral file will haunt you later if you try to sell the note.

The sell info on how to find notes, etc., which you in turn send to them, they tell you how much they'll buy the note for, then you tell the note holder how much you can buy the note for, by offering a bit smaller amount than what charter is going to pay you. It's says on their website that once the note holder agrees to sell, either the finder can do all the work, or they (Charter Financial) will do the work for no fee to me, to buy the note. I found out about this company years ago, know they have an A rating, with 1 complaint with the BBB in the last 12 months. I just want to see if anyone on BP has made money finding notes, annuities, lottery winnings, business notes, mortgage notes, etc., by referring the notes to Charter Financial for a referral fee?

Since Charter operates in my space, seller financed notes, I run into Charter students every now and then. The crux of their program is to teach you to find notes for them. My impression is their students have a decent beginner level understanding of how to market and ask general questions of potential note sellers. They know enough to find notes and submit a basic package to Charter. There are programs like Russ Dalby’s American Note Network mentioned above by Jay were proven fraudulent. The new breed of seller financed note buying trainers will teach you enough to find notes for them. They can earn far more from the note transaction then the training. Money you can put in your own pocket if you know where to go with a deal. I can’t say if the cost for their training is better and more organized than reading free information available to you. If the price low, it could shorten the learning curve. There are plenty of good books about note investing to explain the real estate and financial side of the business. There is not much material out there on marketing specifically for seller financed notes. Some of the Yellow Letter information applies and some doesn’t. Experience and reading through some of the more technical information on finance, real estate and marketing discussed elsewhere on BP is the only way to move from beginner to a level where you can earn a sustainable income.

Can you recommend me some of the good books you mentioned to learn about notes, please.

I have been in the note space for 8 years, and the note space is not big. I have never heard of them.

Hi, Note sure if you are still around on this site... I have an office in Visalia and looking to broker notes. Lets meet or chat online for note partnering if you are still in this business. I've been doing property management for 17 yrs, buy and sell RE as well. So helping clients sell their notes is a good add on to what I already do. But TEAM... Together, Everyone Acheives More.

Anyone made any $$ with them yet? Please let me know. Curious... Thinking about joining today and hitting it to see what happens. It's only a few hundred bucks to join...

I haven't really finished my campaign to send out flyers or letters to recruit sellers. I will give it a good try for a few months, and then I will give it up. Anyone else make any profits?
