@Nathan Frey You'll find lots of good info and perspective on the BP note forum. There are stories of home runs and ponzi schemes. For me, I like my entity interest to be recorded. So I buy one by one. Don't know that it matters if you pick funds that you're confident with. @Bob Malecki is somebody I trust. Read threads here to get your own sense of who's right for you. @chris
@Chris Seveney and @Dan Deppen are good to follow too.

There will be some of that again. Maybe not a nickel. But if the equity or rent revenue is gone, then what's the "asset" really worth today? Always 2 sides of the trade.
Well if I am buying the note at a discount that reflects the deprecated value, then that question is relatively moot.
Bob - agreed. But it's up to us to be wary of backwards looking BPOs and even full appraisals in a declining market. Maybe desirable and affordable properties still attract or retain good borrowers? My lower end notes are asking for deferment. We will see if next month everyone gets a holiday?

Post: Good Time To Sell Partials

If I sell a partial and in that sale agreement, I promise to make up payments or other promises in event of default, maybe I've created a security? Saying "maybe" because I'm not an attorney but that was what I was taught. And can you service what you sell? Hmm.
Would I sell a partial? yes and I have. Bought some too.

I reserved the room for 2 hours but I think we can get in and out within an hour and change. But just in case.
Topics:
1. Introduction - Who are you with brief business bio, if any, and any involvement with distressed assets this far? (All Call Members)
2. What might be similar to last recession - so far and potential what's coming?
3. Insights into current market activity - what are or have you seen since March 13, 2020 (Day 0)
4. Price, execution and disposition hurdles and expectations
5. How do we all help each other - trade opportunities, other service opportunities
6. What are we initially not talking about?
7. Concepts for next call?
I will try and collect call names, emails and phone numbers for everyone and publish a roster so post call we can all communicate as desired. If you want to email me your information in advance I will start the roster now.
Thanks
