You mean 25% or 0.25% - they are totally different numbers...

Yes, It is certainly doable. 

I am an American living abroad and I invest in notes. Mostly performing. Most of the work is basically e-mails and web searching, sometimes you need a zoom or a call with a lawyer, servicer, realtor etc. and that can be done even with the time differences.  

I know people who handle real estate rentals and flipping houses from abroad and that is way more time consuming than notes.. 

Who's responsibility is it to check that issue you mentioned - if I give the collateral to a lawyer to review - is this something they usually check? Or should I check it myself?

For me it was collateral review.. reading all these documents seemed overwhelming, I use experienced people to do that for me, sometimes more than one person - that gives a lot of confidence   

Do you take that into consideration in your pricing of the NPN's that you currently buy? I don't see how the current price range of NPN's reflects such a delay in FC .. and there is no incentive for borrowers to negotiate modifications or other solutions, they can simply keep on not paying ..

Words of wisdom! Thanks Chris 

@Don Konipol

Can you list the states which currently require licensing? 

Just to make sure I understood your last paragraph - if I am buying a CFD or a note which were originated (by someone else) as owner occupied (residential) - I need to comply only with the state residential mortgage broker licensing requirements - not anything else, right?

Hi!

I was there as well, as a newbie – it was good to meet with people who I normally connect with over the phone or e-mail (mostly on the supplier side), I got confidence in what I am doing and on the road I took with these kind of investments, some speakers were good (mostly on the first day), some less, the important thing was the mingling I guess. Don’t think I’ll come next year (it’s a long way for me coming from overseas..) but definitely worth it!

@Jay Hinrichs Can you please explain what is a "lender policy" for a note buyer? How is this done? Seems like a good precaution to take as a note investor.

Thanks
