Post: Questions to ask Note buyers/sellers

I'm just starting out as a note broker and I want to make my first deal. There is so much info out there that's it's overwhelming and difficult to grasp everything. I dont have money to start a course but I've never been more passionate about a career path before and I want to make a deal, and use that first deal money to sign into a course to get a proper education on the whole subject. 

What questions should I be asking a note seller/buyer during the interactions until the closing. Or even tips I should be looking out for. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

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...

Hi, did you try it? I'm debating if to start with them because I've been trying to do my own research but I'm not finding anything with substance to actual help me start.  I don't know anyone else doing this so I can't ask them for help. Let me know what you did or if there is another way you were able to figure it out without using the company please. 
Quote from @Scott Arpan:

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.
