Society tends to tell us that we can’t always get what we want. This has been so embedded that we close ourselves off from pursuing a greater and bigger life. Showing us that we can actually do that, Scott interviews Kelly Resendez of BigVoicesRise.com about entrepreneurship and how entrepreneurs (both male and female) can give themselves a bigger voice in the market. Kelly gives us some wisdom from her books, Foundation to Sustainable Success and Big Voices, highlighting the mode of scarcity we live in as well as sabotaging management plans. Empowering entrepreneurs to reach for success, she talks about the importance of putting yourself first, to retreat and find that inner peace. She rounds it off by talking about helping women awaken their feminine warrior.

Buying a note is not only a single transaction and then everything is done. It has to go through some before and after preparations, most especially when it comes to paying. Many people tend to forget this and fail to put in some important calculations. Scott breaks down some of the costs associated with your upfront due diligence, along with back-end costs to your note deal once you've purchased it. He talks about the things you need to consider when you sell as well as the note costs along the way – from ROI calculations to foreclosures, and more.

We (along with a lot of other note funds) won't work with someone if they are funding from a Equity Bust account. It takes them 2-3 weeks to get things funded with notes and it's not worth the headaches. I would recommend Quest Trust (formerly Quest IRA) as they've got the best customer service in the industry and do an amazing job with education as well!

@Shay Rosner you might want to check out Eran Linker as he is from Israel and been investing in notes in the US for a while now.

Hey @Eddie Starr ,

Distressedpro is effective in reaching out to the asset managers if you do it more than once.  80% of sales comes after the 5th contact and we've used DP to help us build a large list of asset managers that we market to on a monthly basis.  Yes, it takes time, but the best deals come from those that aren't being contacted on a regular basis.  

We have lot's of people doing it part time...10-20 hours a week
