What’s the difference between broke people and wealthy people?

Focus.

Knowing what you want to achieve, taking action to get there and maintaining a long-term view.

Unlike Otis, whose focus on short-term gains is keeping him broke: https://ecs.page.link/CL6Nf

In the conclusion to our three part story, find out what happens to Ian and Otis when they encounter Jameson.

One of them makes a bad decision which affects the other.

This story is a perfect example of why a short-term focus is a broken strategy when it comes to making money: https://ecs.page.link/CL6Nf

We’re all busy. That means we’re always wondering if investing our time in something is worth it.

As this week’s story shows, by making the right choices on where to invest your time and money, you can achieve great things. https://ecs.page.link/gEZcY

Q. Is learning to invest in notes hard?

Like any new skill, it takes time. In this week’s story you’ll learn about Jameson and how he achieved success investing in notes: https://ecs.page.link/gEZcY

(For you impatient types: it’s in putting in the time, using a step-by-step method and keeping your promises)

In part 2 of our story we learn about Jameson and how he built his wealth.

In short, he chose to use note investing and help distressed borrowers keep their homes when he could.

The secret to his success is in the story: https://ecs.page.link/gEZcY

Building wealth with islands - in space Strolling along the starport promenade, Jameson mused on the ridiculousness of the name. It wasn’t a port for stars; it was a port for spaceships. On Earth they called these places, “airports”, and before that, “aerodromes.” Frequent travelers called…

This week we stepped into the future where investors are making money from asteroids.

But what we learn is that regardless of what we’ll invest in, in years to come, is that building wealth starts with proven, fundamental strategies.

There will always be fads with investing… in fact, you can probably think of times where you’ve been told about a “sure thing”. Usually they’re too good to be true.

What never changes, regardless of investing fads or trends, is the proven methods like bricks and mortar.

So imagine if there was a way to invest in real estate without the high cost and hassle of trash and tenants...?

In this week’s post you’ll not only enjoy a great story about investing in asteroids, but also learn how Jameson created wealth using a proven method: https://ecs.page.link/hZEs7

This week we enter a conversation between Otis and Ian. They’re talking about a very wealthy man - Jameson - and discussing how he made his money and what he does with it.

This leads them both to come up with some ideas about how they can benefit from his success.

One of them wants to learn from him. The other starts developing some less than honest intentions.

This week’s tip (before we head into part 2 of this story) is to learn from the success of others who have come before you… because they’ve already proven it works: https://ecs.page.link/hZEs7

Terence did it. He almost chickened out, but he did it.

Asking a mortgage broker some questions might not sound like a big deal, but it was to him.

And what happened as a result? He found out about Note Investing. Now he and Davina are planning to take a course and make more money from their savings.

That’s all it took: getting over the fear and asking some questions. And that’s the take away from this week’s blog post - part 3 of Davina and Terence’s story.

Did you know that by investing in notes, you can not only make money but also help people keep their homes?

Every case is different, but one of the things we love to do is help a distressed homeowner keep their home. And that’s while we also make a return on our investment (between 6 and 25% is our average).

If this post has piqued your interest, find out how you can do just this by joining us in our next Notewealthy Investor Course.

Action... Taking the first step... In other words: do something, darn it!

Regular readers will know that we talk about this stuff a lot. Why? Because so many people talk a big game but never do anything.

In this week’s blog post, read part 3 of Terence and Davina’s story where (spoiler alert) they take action.

Then ask yourself this question about your income: what will change one year from now if you keep doing things the same way?

Read this week’s post: https://ecs.page.link/mu5og

The take away from this week’s blog post, the story of Davina and Terence, is to stop and ask yourself some questions:
- What am I really making right now?
- How much would I like to make?
- What’s the ‘gap’?
- What am I going to do about that?

If you’ve been “meaning to” do something about making more income, how much longer will you wait?

Whether you choose to invest in notes or not, if you’re reading this post, this is a sign 🛑. Because it’s only by beginning, by taking the first step, that you’ll get what you really want.

When Davina and Terence realise they’re not making enough return from their side hustle garage sailing, they start considering other options.

Terence thinks that perhaps buying a home and getting a mortgage is the right strategy. But sometimes taking the first step is the hardest part (literally… as you’ll find out in this week’s blog post).

People always ask us: how do you take the first step to investing in notes?

It’s as easy as a phone call. That’s all.

On that call we’ll talk to you about whether you want to learn how to DIY or partner with us as a Notewealthy Investor Partner. We always recommend taking our Notewealthy Investor Course, because education is one of the keys to your financial success.

The sad reality? It’s that most people fail to take any first step at all.

Ever heard this chestnut from a business owner or overworked employee before?

“I calculated my hourly rate and it’s so low!” (usually accustomed by either a laugh, a feeling of resignation or in the worst cases, sadness).

That’s what Davina reveals to Terence in this week’s blog post after they start a shared venture garage sailing (buying and selling second hand goods for cash).

They’re working jobs and using their spare time to make some extra money. Things are looking rosie as they’re making a little extra money. Until Davina does the dreaded hourly rate calculation.

The tip from this week’s post? If you’re in business or investing, what is your hourly rate? If it’s not enough, will you just sit by and let it be, or take action to change that?

Terence and Davina were having fun and making some extra cash with their combined garage sailing venture.

That’s until a chance encounter with a couple purchasing an expensive dresser gives them a reality check.

What was it that caused them to stop and lose the spring in their step?

If you’re like a lot of business owners, sometimes it feels like your wheels are spinning. Like you’re working harder but never making enough money.

In this week’s blog post, Terence and Davina start a small venture together selling second hand goods for profit.

They spend their time researching second hand good prices, searching online and driving to garage sales to find the right inventory, negotiating (ok, haggling), then listing and dealing with buyers before they make a return.

So how can you find a venture that you know will make you the returns you want?

Regardless of whether it’s a business venture or an investment vehicle, it takes time to:
- Find the right strategy
- Learn how to use it
- Build up confidence
- Make a return

The point is: whenever you’re undertaking any new business or investment venture, take all this into account when you’re doing the numbers. Be realistic. Do your research. Talk to others who have succeeded and those who haven’t.
It’s only through this that you’ll give yourself the best chance of success.

Curious? If you read yesterday’s post, you might be wondering: “How can I invest, make money AND help someone who is behind on their loan repayments keep their home?”

This week’s blog post, part 2 of Stephan’s story, explains how: https://ecs.page.link/UDWXd

👉🏻 Here’s the gist
As the note holder for a borrower who hadn’t paid their loan repayments Stephan was able to:
- Release the borrower from having to pay arrears
- Reduced the borrower’s overall home loan amount by $23,000
- Lowered the monthly repayment amount

Find out what happens with the balloon payment the borrower is due to repay in next week’s part 3 of Stephan’s story.

Imagine an investment where you not only make money but also get to help a struggling homeowner keep their home. Double bonus feel-good points, right?

That might sound too good to be true, but it’s absolutely possible when you’re a note investor.

It’s said that ‘Fortune Favors the Brave’.

Why are we mentioning this? Because the take away from this week’s blog post https://ecs.page.link/9MpWh is that Stephan takes a risk and makes an offer on a note deal.

He asks from an educated position, from knowing his stuff. Which resulted from his earlier decision to learn how to invest in real estate notes.

Being brave in life can be as simple as choosing to learn a new skill, to take control of your finances and to actively seek the right opportunities to invest using what you’ve learned.

Be brave like Stephan. Stephan learned how to invest in notes to do more of what he loves with The Notewealthy Investor Course: https://ecs.page.link/J3EzG to learn page

In this week’s blog post, Stephan scans a list of non-performing notes to find a suitable investment and comes across what he thinks is a great deal (from what he learned with us in The Notewealthy Investor Course).

You might be wondering: what’s a note? And further, what is a non-performing note?

Firstly, any time a residential property or home is purchased by borrowing money, a mortgage (or trust deed) and promissory note are created. It’s these two documents we refer to as a Note.

These notes are available to buy and provide you with an opportunity to create wealth. If you read back through our posts, you’ll see a table that shows a comparison of average returns from notes versus traditional investments that’s eye-opening.

There are three types of notes you can choose from, depending on the level of risk and return you want to make - performing, non-performing and re-performing. In this case, a non-performing note refers to a loan where the borrower is late or in default making their loan payments.

At Resolve, we know notes are a smarter way to invest your hard earned savings. That’s why we teach people like you how to invest, partner with investors, and continue actively investing ourselves.

If this sounds like a lot to take in, get started by reading the story here: https://ecs.page.link/9MpWh

Then stay tuned for parts 2 and 3 of Stephan’s story.

It’s the New Year… the time when most of us start thinking about the year ahead and what we want to achieve.

So let’s start the year with a story about Stephan, who was looking for an opportunity to invest in real estate notes after completing The Notewealthy Investor Course.

Stephan sees an opportunity to invest in a non-performing note and takes action to offer a ridiculously low amount to buy the note.

Read to the end to find out what happens.

(Spoiler alert: today’s post is about taking action. What a great tip to start 2020!)

“You can learn anything you want to get yourself out of whatever jam you’re in”

Truer words were never spoken. This quote is from Don, whose story of choosing to become a Smart Investor is told in part 3 of the story of Barry and Don.

Don’t be a Barry. Be a Don. That’s the take away from this week.

If you’re keeping up to date with our story (we’re on part 3 this week) you might be wondering: what the heck is note investing? It’s:

👉🏻 Using real estate (or mortgage) notes to invest: where you get to invest in real estate without the toilets, tenants and trash.

👉🏻 A proven method to make between 6% and 25% return in as little as 18 months, and one that performs better than most traditional investments

👉🏻 One of the only methods of investing out there that allows you to choose the level of risk and return on your investment

Ch-ch-ch-ch-choices (I bet that song’s in your head now, we’re sorry Mr Bowie).

That’s what we’ve been talking about for the past two weeks, starting with two people who suffered the same consequences of 2008’s Great Recession.

These two people made very (!) different life choices. One chose a life of crime, the other chose to dust himself off and learn how to get ahead using his savings, the smart way.

Read Barry’s story here: https://ecs.page.link/b1UBH

Then compare and contrast with Don’s: https://ecs.page.link/SDSjv

The takeaway? What choices are you making with your finances and how is it working for you? If you’re not happy, what can you do to change that?

Sick of working hard, scrimping and saving, and feeling like you never get ahead?

You’re not alone. So how do you break the cycle?

In this week’s blog post you’ll learn about Don, who went from frustrated saver to smart investor using note investing.

Breaking the cycle is about choice. There’s that word again. But seriously, it’s almost the end of the year. What are you going to do, to make the new year, your year?

Have you seen the movie ‘Sliding Doors’? In it, Gwyneth Paltrow’s character makes two small, different choices. The result is two totally different outcomes and stories, which shows how even the small choices we make impact our lives.

Last week we shared Barry’s story. In short, Barry made some bad choices after being walloped by the 2008 Great Recession (ouch).

So this week’s story is a bit like the movie we mentioned above. Except you’ll meet Don, who made different (dare we say better?) choices.

So yep, we’re echoing last week’s tip: we all have choices. The way we choose to deal with life’s challenges defines us and shapes our future.
https://ecs.page.link/SDSjv

If you haven’t already read it, this week’s blog post is an awesome read about Barry. (poor Barry - the link is below).

The takeaway? No matter what, we all have choices (yeah, Barry!).

In a time like the last Global Recession, there was still an opportunity to make smart investment decisions. In fact, some note investors reported that even in the recession, notes were still a profitable investment.

As an investor, what should you do when there’s a crash?

In 2008 the Global Financial Crisis or ‘Great Recession’ displaced almost 10 million Americans as rising unemployment led to mass foreclosures. In fact, in 2008 3.1 million Americans filed for foreclosure, which at the time was 1 in 54 homes (Source: Investopedia).

If you look around you now, that’s the equivalent of 1 out of just over 50 of your neighbours going into foreclosure.

It was a hard time for a lot of people, both here and around the world.

Fast forward to now when the economy is showing signs of recovery and what can we learn?

That no matter what happens, we all have choices on how we handle a situation. And no matter what, the right opportunities still exist to invest your savings (and they’re not the ones you usually think of straight-off).

Read this week’s blog post to find out how the choices Barry made have led him to a place he never thought he’d be….

Ever heard anyone say: “I never meant for things to turn out this way?”

In this week’s blog post you’ll meet Barry who lost everything in 2008’s financial crisis, leading him to make what some might describe as “poor life choices”.

As you’ll find out, Barry’s choices lead him into… I’m sorry but I can’t spoil it, you’ll just have to read it: https://ecs.page.link/b1UBH

The tip from this? No matter what kind of hand we are dealt in life, we all have choices.
