Tip of the Week

          Did you know...

Permission based selling is when you get your note holder's permission to give and continue a presentation (first phone call, negotiating, giving prices, etc.). Say things like, "Would you like to hear the options have for you?  Shall I continue? Do you like what you hear so far?"

Quote of the Week

 

Man often becomes what he believes himself to be. If I keep on saying to myself that I cannot do a certain thing, it is possible that I may end by really becoming incapable of doing it. On the contrary, if I have the belief that I can do it, I shall surely acquire the capacity to do it even if I may not have it at the beginning.
                                                           ― Mahatma Gandhi


President's Corner

       Networking is an important part of growing a successful note business.  Effective networking involves building mutually beneficial relationships, not just exchanging business cards.  Note Professionals should zero in on the following areas when building their network:.

       Note Holders. Loyal note holders can provide repeat business, valuable feedback, and important referrals, so keeping them satisfied is vital.  I have received many transactions from past note holders in the last 24 years.  Don't forget about them!

       Community. Active networking in your local area and within your community not only raises awareness about your note business, it can also be a goldmine for referrals. Keep in mind that a community can be defined as a physical place like your city or neighborhood or it can be a virtual community, such as Facebook or Twitter.

       Vendors.  Your note business will benefit all around if your vendors feel like an important part of the team.  Your vendors might include title companies, appraisers, printing companies, processors, etc.

       Competition.  Whenever possible, it is wise to make your competing note professionals your ally and not your enemy.  If the competition trusts you and your note business maybe they will refer overflow note holders to you, maybe they will bring you a note holder who has a difficult note that they are not able to find a home for or maybe they will come across a note holder who requires expertise that you offer and the competitor doesn't.

      Remember, Success Demands Action! Keep on marketing, it’s going to work! TWITA!

Are You Prepared to do the Time

        You’ve done your marketing properly and the phone rings. You do a good job of gathering the information, getting the story behind the note and finding the sellers need on the first phone call.  You proceed to get some good options from your investors that you believe will exactly meet your note sellers need.  With confidence in your voice you call your note holder back and explain the options like a real note professional. But, the seller says... Read More...


Question of the Week

Q - Hi Jeff,

          Got an easy question, for you I’m sure it’s an easy one. Yield and ITV what are they? I have a bunch people trying to make up all the money they lost in the market and need a good explanation of Yield and ITV. Thanks!

                                                            ~ Bob

A - Hi Bob!

          Thanks for the email! Great question! ITV or Investment-to-value ratio is a measure of how secure a creditor's position is and how likely the creditor is to recoup all of his or her money in the event of a foreclosure. It is the amount of the investment (purchase price of the note) divided by the value of the collateral (initially the sales price of the property). The lower the ITV the less risk of losing any money.

          Yield in its simplest form is basically the interest earned by the note buyer on the investment expressed as a percentage (also known as rate of return in lending arenas). Hope this helps!

                                                           ~ Jeff
