Quote of the Week

 

The brick walls are there for a reason. The brick walls are not there to keep us out. The brick walls are there to give us a chance to show how badly we want something. Because the brick walls are there to stop the people who don't want it badly enough. They're there to stop the other people.                   ― Randy Pausch 


President's Corner

       It's hard to believe that it is the first week of November and the fourth quarter is already upon us. And we all know what that means for note business owners: work, work, work! And also: opportunity, opportunity, opportunity! I’m often asked how can one ensure a successful period for the close of the current year and a strong start for the New Year? After all, the fourth quarter brings an opportunity to look toward the next year; you can drum up business during the holiday season that can help you in the next year, too. The real estate market and note industry is still in especially challenging period. That means you have to figure out ways to get note holders to contact you and accept your offers that aren’t just based on price. With that said, over the next 4 weeks I have some suggestions for a profitable end to the fiscal year.

       This week I want to think about and know your financial goals. The idea is to fully know where you’re going in the fourth quarter, so you know what you need to achieve in this period. Who knows? You could either be ahead of your year-to-date goals, or behind them. But you need to know. Once you’ve figured that out.... Get Creative. You need to do something to differentiate yourself from your competition, and to distinguish the note selling experience.  Some note brokers offer gas cards, lottery tickets or gift cards to a note holder’s favorite store if a transaction is started before the end of the year and subsequently closes. Remember, Success Demands Action! Keep on marketing, it’s going to work! TWITA!

The True Note Market

        I just have to giggle when I get a call from a newbie note broker asking me what’s the hottest market to go after so they can get deals right away OR from a note broker who stopped doing business a few years back and wants to know what’s hot now and if it is a good time to get back in the business.  I giggle because for me the question has never been whether it’s a hot market for notes, or a cold market for notes. What matters is... Read More...


Question of the Week

Q - Hi Jeff,

          In your training, you mention the strategy of purchasing 12 payments of a note, for 10 x the monthly payment, giving us around a 35% yield.  When you do this, do you still do a title search and get title insurance, and go through a regular closing, or is it more of a "kitchen table" closing? Thanks,

                                                             ~ Lynn

Hi Lynn!

          Thanks for the email! It is meant to be a very fast transaction. I usually do not do an appraisal MAYBE a quick BPO but yes we definitely do get title. Can usually be done in 5-10 business days depending on how quick the title company is. And honestly, when this situation presents itself I will do 24 payments for 10 times the payment amount for a 103+% yield. TWITA! Hope this helps!                                                              ~ Jeff
