It's the official debut of the Briefing Chamber! Listen to some calls I made to my note investor friends and their hilarious responses to the question: Are you buying notes right now? I based this question on my theory that the market shift in 2016 from red to blue was going to negatively impact non-performing note investors and leave the rest scratching their heads on what to do next. Was my hypothesis correct? The answer actually surprised me!  Listen to my State of the Industry presentation here: 2023 State of the Industry

With the COVID-19 pandemic fully under way, changes to the real estate, and subsequent note markets, are inevitable. Does this mean truckloads of non-performing inventory or a different strategy to capture new opportunities? Tune in as Czarina gives her analysis of where the market is headed.

I've decided to return from my podcast hiatus to vent. Yep, just to vent.

Special Broadcast: I Quit NoteSchool & the future of Note Inc! After 3 years, it's time to expand Note Inc beyond a podcast into the company I've imagined for years.

Update: I was able to export my list away from Kartra after all, so only sign up for the list if you haven't already.

As Mike Tyson famously said, "Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth", you will think you know exactly what to do once you get a note seller on the phone. Think again. In this episode, I break down how to position yourself to become the note seller's advocate, how much in commissions you should be making, how to educate your seller and, most importantly, the secret strategy you need to implement in order to close every note you broker.

When it comes to brokering, the most important resource you'll use to make money is a direct mail campaign. Unfortunately, there is a lot of outdated information on how to get started. Tune in today to learn what you should be doing and learning in order to make this a profitable business model. Follow us on Twitter @noteincpodcast Show notes coming soon...

When you're a note broker, it's pretty safe to assume you have very little to no capital to buy your own portfolio of loans. Even if you did, there's absolutely no harm in learning the business by making some commissions on the side. I tackle one of the biggest issues with brokering loans: getting the correct funding and making sure it doesn't dry up! Show notes coming soon...

The most important part of picking a profit strategy for your business is not your business model. It's not the kind of notes you'll work with. It's not even what price range you want to play in. The biggest factor that determines whether or not your business will make money is: how well you know yourself. Once you've mastered that, the next step to get out of the "80% Rut" is to create automated systems that generate leads, close sales and streamline processes. Easier said than done in the note industry. Show notes coming soon... Follow is on Twitter: @czarinaharris @noteincpodcast

Finally, after weeks (or months, depending on how long you've been a fan of Note Inc.) a ransom has been set for Chauncey's release. Listen in as the team works through the possible trap set by Professor Macon Greene in their goal to rescue their beloved friend. [Note: this is a temporary episode, the final version will be uploaded later this week]. Show notes coming soon...

We take a break from all of the characters and plot and music and shenanigans to review what we have covered so far in the season. Learn the 5 Functions of a Note Business and how they work inside of the #1 note business model: brokering.

The final and perhaps most "cookie-cutter" skill in the note industry is none other than the closing process. Czarina is not a personal fan, she prefers more creative endeavors... Does the fictional podcast make that obvious? Lucky for you, she is one of the premiere experts in course creation for the note industry. She put her skills to use and created an in-house training system for new employees to learn closing, freeing up her time to do the business. On today's episode, Czarina shares a bit of that training with you, so be sure to take lots of notes!

Perhaps the most important skill you can possess in the note industry is your ability to manage a portfolio. This is also the cause of much frustration among rookies and veterans alike. Tune in today to hear how you can further master this life-long skill. Show notes coming soon...

One of the most important skills for a note investor to possess? The ability to filter a tape and get straight to the deals. How much filtering is too much? How do you expand your search without compromising your returns? Find out on today's episode of Note Inc. www.noteinc.com/31

Welcome back to another season of your favorite (and the world's only) fictional. spy-themed, note investing podcast. When we last left off (before the Field Agent Chronicles) our co-host Chauncey Whittingham was kidnapped by his colleage/rival, Professor Macon Greene. Czarina was also dubbed Agent 006. What new skills will Czarina acquire in her newfound role? Will they be used to help rescue Chauncey or play right into Macon's hands? We recruited a special guest to guide you the listener through the new season. Enjoy this episode recap of the last season and get ready to learn and laugh once again. As always, Note Inc is going to be EPIC... and fun.

Starter homes price around 40-60k some some markets, the exact price band that banks no longer finance. In addition to this, buyers for that market, Millennials, are not looking at home ownership.
