NOTE INVESTING 101
Note Investing Training
Current Needs and Issues
Real Estate Mortgage Note Investing can be overwhelming and many new note investors are looking for a single course that covers a broad range of different topics within the note investing space, while learning online.
Many courses are expensive, long-winded, and don’t get straight to the point. They often leave critical gaps between learning and actually purchasing your first note. Most courses follow a linear agenda without adding additional topics. We see this as lacking CRITICAL information.
Solution Note Investing 101
Our goal is not only to help fresh, new investors learn the basics and get started making their own investments, but also to help current investors fill any gaps in their education, by providing vast areas of education, in a clear, concise course. We see many investors price assets too high, only to find a few months later that their original numbers were off causing them to lose money, and leave the note investing space fairly quickly. This also affects the market, as sellers will then expect these higher bid amounts. Overall, it presents a poor image of the note investing space and we are looking to change that.

Note Investing for Beginners: Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to the questions new note investors ask most, before you start the 20-video Note Investing 101 series.
What is a mortgage note?
A mortgage note is the borrower's written promise to repay a real-estate loan, secured by the property. When you invest in notes you buy that note and step into the lender's shoes — you collect the monthly payments and own the debt, not the house.
Do I need any experience to take this beginner note investing course?
No. The course starts with the fundamentals — what a mortgage note is, the difference between a note and a mortgage, and 1st vs 2nd liens — so it works for brand-new investors. It also fills gaps many investors find after taking other courses.
How much money do I need to start investing in notes?
Less than most people expect. Partial notes and 2nd liens can start in the low thousands, while performing 1st liens usually cost more. The course shows you how to match deals to your budget and figure out what a note is really worth before you bid, instead of overpaying.
Where can I find notes to buy — can I buy them directly from banks?
Beginners usually find notes through online note marketplaces, note brokers, and direct relationships with sellers. Banks and credit unions do sell notes, but often in bulk pools. We cover the main options in our guide on where to buy notes, and the course shows how a beginner can realistically buy one note at a time and vet a seller.
What is the difference between a performing and a non-performing note?
A performing note is one where the borrower is paying on time, so you collect steady monthly income. A non-performing note (NPN) is one where the borrower has stopped paying; investors buy these at a deeper discount and work out a resolution. The course covers both.
Is note investing profitable, and what are the risks?
Notes can deliver strong passive income because you earn interest without owning or managing property. The main risks are overpaying, title or lien problems, and borrower default — which is exactly why the course centers on due diligence and pricing a note correctly before you bid.
Can I invest in notes with a self-directed IRA or retirement account?
Yes. Many note investors buy notes inside a self-directed IRA so the interest income can grow tax-advantaged. The course covers the common ways investors fund their note purchases.
Do I need a license to invest in mortgage notes?
It depends on the state — some states require licensing to buy or hold certain notes and others do not. The course covers what to watch for, and we go deeper on licensing on our podcast, The Real Estate Notes Show.
What will I learn in the 20 videos?
The series covers where to buy notes, how to tell if a deal is good, foreclosure timelines and costs, what is inside a collateral file, 1st vs 2nd liens, non-performing vs performing notes, note vs contract-for-deed vs REO, brokering notes, and finding a mentor.
How much does the course cost?
It is $69.95 as a one-time payment for all 20 videos. It is not a subscription — you pay once and keep access. Many beginner programs charge hundreds or thousands; we kept ours concise and inexpensive on purpose.
How is the course delivered, and how long do I have access?
It is an online, self-paced video series. After purchase you watch the videos anytime through your member login on the Beginner Video Series page.
How is this different from the advanced training?
This is the 101 foundation for beginners. Once you have the basics down, our separate Advanced Note Education course goes deeper into evaluating and managing deals.
