President's Corner

       For all of those in the cash flow and note business who love to use a lot of words - the bigger, the better - long sentences and "legalese" when trying to communicate with note holders and potential clients, I have a little advice.  Knock it off!

       Brochures, signs, postcards, letters, flyers and other marketing tools are more effective if they are simple.  Attempting to impress note holders and potential clients with complicated language often has the opposite effect.  Here are a few tips for your marketing success:

       - Don't use three, five or ten words when one will do.  For example "when" is better than "in the event of" and "now" beats "at this moment in time."

       - Keep your paragraphs short, about five to six sentences and limit the length of your sentences.

       - Every time you write a promotional piece, make believe you have to pay by the word, just like in classified ads.  When it comes to writing right, keep it short and to the point.

       - And what about those words that look like they came from a Mensa dictionary?  Fuhgeddabout it!   

       That's it for this week!  Remember, Success Demands Action! Keep on marketing, it’s going to work! TWITA!

Question of the Week

Q - Hi Jeff,

          I took your class at Renatus and was very impressed with your knowledge and experience. I had previously taken a note class by someone else and found it interesting. But I was really inspired by your class.
          I am familiar with whole notes and partial notes as in partial series of payments but I don't hear much in the line of partial monthly payments where someone would purchase a percentage of the monthly payment. Conceivably, one could have multiple investors owning a piece of that monthly payment. Have you seen much of that being done? Are there any pros or cons with that type of strategy? 
         I am working on creative ways to finance properties using partial payments to reduce risk.  Any thoughts? Regards,

                                                                                      ~  James M.

A – Hi James! 
          Thanks for the email!  Yes an INDIVIDUAL investor can buy a percentage of a payment if they wanted to. If the payment is $1,000 the note buyer could buy say 50% or $500 per month. The investor would collect the entire $1,000 per month and then send the remaining $500 to the seller every month. 
         What you can't do is sell of pieces of a payment to multiple investors. For example with the same $1,000 payment having 4 investors buying $250 per month would turn the purchase into a security and if you do not have a securities license you could be in for a huge amount of trouble! 
          Always remember, 1 investor = 1 note. That will keep you safe and within the laws.
