Note Investing Made Simple: Becoming the Bank
Fred Moskowitz shares how the volatility of the tech industry led him to seek alternative income streams and ultimately discover mortgage note investing. Instead of owning properties and dealing with tenants, Fred focuses on owning the debt—collecting payments as the lender rather than the borrower.
Together, Derek and Fred walk through the fundamentals of note investing, including buying performing notes, using partials to deploy smaller amounts of capital, understanding foreclosure timelines, evaluating borrower risk, and navigating state-specific laws. They also discuss taxation realities and why self-directed IRAs and Roth IRAs can be powerful vehicles for note investors.
This episode demystifies note investing and shows how it can fit into both active and passive investment strategies.
