This year we have added a Question of the month to this regularly scheduled "Tip of The Month" e-letter. If you have a question you would like to see answered in this newsletter just email Jeff!

One of the secrets to longevity in the note business is the note broker's and note investor's ability to keep up with the changes. Go to workshops, attend classes, read books and associate with people in the business.

Leaders are visionaries with a poorly developed sense of fear and no concept of the odds against them.

Q - I had a Realtor call me this morning to find out what exactly we did and how I could possibly help him. After explaining it to him he said that it sounds like we buy 2nd's and he didn't think that would help him. I don't know a lot about all this yet. Is that what we do when we purchase a seller carryback note...buy 2nd's? Any help would be greatly appreciated. - M. Matis

A - Technically No. Although many of the seller-financed notes that are carried back are second position notes, there are very few investors for seconds or really any junior liens. There is much more risk associated with being in second or any junior position. As note investors, we want the cash flow to keep coming in and are not buying notes to get to the property. The majority of the note investors in the business only purchase first position notes carried back by the seller of the property to facilitate the sale of the property; a true Seller-Financed note or Purchase Money Mortgage.
