  • How to Find Nonperforming Notes in 2025
    Jan 7 2025
    Find Non-Performing Notes (NPNs) in 2025: The Note Guy's Insider SecretsHappy New Year, deal-seekers! Scott Carson, aka The Note Guy, started 2025 with an explosive Note Night in America episode, revealing his top strategies for finding lucrative non-performing notes (NPNs). Forget the spoon-fed deals; Scott's strategies empower you to proactively hunt for hidden gems and build a thriving note investing business. He's been doing it for over two decades and has the proof!This isn't your grandma's note investing approach. Scott's not just sharing theories; he's divulging the precise methods he uses to find and secure high-yield NPNs. He stresses the importance of choosing a niche (residential vs. commercial, performing vs. non-performing), defining your "buy box" (criteria for ideal notes), and mastering the art of marketing.Scott's Top Strategies for Unearthing NPNs:Tap into Foreclosure Lists: This is the bedrock of Scott’s strategy. Instead of relying solely on online marketplaces, he dives deep into county records and leverages specialized foreclosure list providers. He stresses that this often leads to underpriced gems that haven’t even hit the open market yet. Remember, the earlier you find out about a deal, the better your negotiating power!Direct Lender Outreach: Stop wasting time on generic online searches. Scott advocates for building relationships directly with lenders. Using LinkedIn, RocketReach (to uncover contact emails), and his own proactive outreach, he consistently secures exclusive deals. This is about building relationships, not just sending cold emails.Leverage LinkedIn and Referrals: Scott uses LinkedIn like a well-oiled machine. His profile isn't just a digital business card; it's a finely tuned lead-generating engine. He actively shares content that showcases his expertise, attracts attention, and builds his network. He then uses these connections for referrals, resulting in a pipeline of promising deals.Utilize Powerful Online Tools: Scott isn't shy about using technology to his advantage. He highlights the power of CredIQ (for detailed commercial property data) and CREXi (to uncover owner-financed deals). These tools are invaluable for maximizing due diligence and securing a competitive edge.Develop a Marketing Strategy: This isn't a one-time effort. It’s a constant process that involves engaging with various platforms and refining your approach. This might include regular email blasts to your network, attending relevant industry events, and participating in online forums. Remember, consistent marketing is key to success!Humor and Practical Advice:Scott's insights are practical and sprinkled with humor—especially when he shares tales of his own successes, mistakes, and some of his unique strategies, emphasizing the value of persistence and the importance of working smart rather than just working hard.His humorous take on lowball offers serves as a reminder that respectful relationship-building can lead to more lucrative results than aggressive tactics. He warns against the pitfalls of relying on generic online platforms and stresses the need to define your target market and focus on specific niches.Scott’s message is clear: Finding the best NPNs isn't about luck; it's about strategy, persistence, and leveraging the right tools and techniques. Don't waste your time chasing every deal that comes along. Use his tips to narrow your search, focus your efforts, and start building the lucrative note investing business you’ve always dreamed of.Watch the original VIDEO HERE!Book a call with SCOTT HERE!Love the show?

  • LinkedIn for Real Estate: Anthony Jones's Secrets to Success
    Dec 17 2024
    In today's digital age, a strong online presence is crucial for real estate investors. But with so many social media platforms vying for your attention, where should you focus your efforts? Today's podcast features Anthony Jones, a LinkedIn expert with over 20 years of experience, who shares his insights on leveraging LinkedIn for real estate success. He's not just talking about posting random updates; he's sharing strategies for building a powerful personal brand and generating consistent deal flow.Anthony's journey started unexpectedly in the non-profit world, where he discovered the power of LinkedIn for fundraising. But he quickly realized its potential for business growth, transforming it into a primary lead generation tool. He jokingly refers to his initial LinkedIn experience as "learning by doing," a testament to the power of experimentation and the iterative process of building a successful online presence.Anthony's advice focuses on using LinkedIn for relationship-building, brand building, and consistent engagement, rather than just for cold outreach or sales pitches. Here are five key takeaways from his insights:Professionalism Trumps Gimmicks: Forget the flashy videos and dance moves. On LinkedIn, a professional approach resonates best. Focus on providing valuable content and engaging authentically with your network.Master Short-Form Video: Short videos are hugely effective for gaining visibility on LinkedIn. Using AI tools can streamline the process, making content creation easier and more efficient. This also helps to cut through the noise of the everyday feed.Go Live Regularly: LinkedIn Live streams are a powerful tool for building relationships and generating leads. Use a co-host to keep things flowing smoothly, and don't forget to repurpose the content into shorter video clips for your feed.Leverage LinkedIn Newsletters: Newsletters can significantly expand your reach. Make sure your first newsletter is compelling and well-written, maximizing LinkedIn's automatic promotion to your contacts.Optimize Your Profile: Craft a compelling “About” section that focuses on your ideal client's pain points and includes a clear call to action. Also, make sure your profile picture and header image are up-to-date and visually appealing.Anthony's expertise extends beyond simply using LinkedIn; he provides coaching and resources for those seeking to build their personal brands, create content, and leverage LinkedIn effectively. He recently launched the Brandwagon Club, an online community dedicated to helping real estate professionals master LinkedIn. Remember, building a strong personal brand takes time and effort, but the rewards are worth it. It's not just about closing deals; it's about building long-term relationships and establishing yourself as a trusted expert in your field.You can connect with Anthony Jones on LinkedIn and through his Brandwagon Club. Remember, building a successful real estate business involves more than just finding deals. It also requires strategic marketing, consistent engagement, and a commitment to building your personal brand.

  • 13 Questions You Need To Ask When Wholesaling Notes
    Dec 10 2024
    Wholesaling notes can be a lucrative strategy for real estate investors, offering a path to quick profits and building valuable experience. But, like any business venture, it requires knowledge, strategy, and a dash of good old-fashioned hustle. Today's podcast dives into the thirteen critical questions you should always ask yourself before diving into a note wholesaling deal. Skipping these steps could mean losing time, money and potentially your sanity (which, as any seasoned entrepreneur knows, is a precious resource).Think of it this way: you wouldn't walk into a high-stakes poker game without knowing the rules, would you? Similarly, approaching note wholesaling without a solid understanding of the deal can lead to costly mistakes. To avoid that, let’s go through the thirteen questions that you should always ask yourself before buying a note:Know Your Pricing: Before you even consider sending out offers, you should know your pricing strategy and ideal profit margins. A buyer who can’t confidently state a fair market price is setting themselves up for failure. Don't be that guy (or gal).Determine Who's in Control: Who really controls the deal? If the note information comes from a friend-of-a-friend, you likely aren't the one in control. A deal where you are directly involved with the seller gives you the most control and reduces potential headaches.Understand the Deal: Make sure the deal itself is actually profitable. You should confidently understand the asset's value, potential cash flow, and potential profit margins in a range of scenarios (e.g. successful re-performance versus foreclosure). A deal that isn’t profitable for you isn't a deal at all.Determine Who Are The Best Buyers: Knowing your target buyers ensures effective marketing efforts. Understanding their needs will help you find the perfect buyer for your notes. Are you going after passive investors or aggressive flippers? This will define your marketing strategy and timing.Timing is Everything: Negotiating a deal requires understanding timelines. Consider funding deadlines, due diligence periods, and seller motivations when determining whether the deal is right for you.The remaining eight questions cover equally important aspects: Are you direct to the seller or working with another broker? What is the overall profit margin? What are the pros and cons? Do you have a buyer's list (and are you using it properly)? How are you marketing the deal? Where are your buyers located? And, finally, would you actually buy the deal and what's stopping you? If you can't answer this last question, move on. Your time is precious.Remember, note wholesaling is a numbers game—but the numbers need to be accurate. By asking these 13 key questions, you'll significantly increase your chances of finding profitable deals and avoiding costly mistakes. It's a process that requires constant education, attention to detail, and the willingness to learn from both your successes and your mistakes.
