Note Traders: Stop Being An Asshole to New Investors
We all start out the same as note investors....wet behind the ears and trying to figure out this niche of note investing. We are all going to mistakes in making our first few bids, performing upfront due diligence, and working to find funding. It's okay to make mistakes as note investors are made and not born. There is nothing more frustrating as a new note investor than to get blasted by an angry and abusive note trader or seller. The idea is to brush it off and keep making offers.In this episode, Scott Carson discusses why note sellers and note traders who have an attitude toward new note buyers need to check their ego and work to nurture new note investors instead of being an asshole. Scott shares why its important as a new note investor to not be afraid and be open that you made a mistake and that no one is perfect. He also shares why note sellers and traders need note investors and buyers more than we need them because there are other sources. People don't need to take the abuse to find deals. Just correct your mistakes on the next offering and move on to the next deal. Watch the original video HERE!Book a call with Scott HERE!Love the show?

Dive Into Tax Lien Investing with Cynthia Spirlin
One of the best ways to get started as a real estate and note investor for small investors is to check out tax liens. Tax liens can be an awesome way to get your feet wet as a real estate investor where you end up making a great return or end up with the property depending on the state and situation. In this episode, Scott Carson talks with tax lien expert Cynthia Spirlin about her career and passion for tax lien investing.Watch the original video HERE!Connect with Cynthia HERE!Cynthia Spirlin has worked in the real estate industry for 20 years, gaining experience in drafting contracts, negotiating short sales, and buying pre-foreclosure properties. As a seasoned investor, she is passionate about helping women create wealth through real estate. As a single parent, she understands the need to provide for today and the desire to leave a legacy. After the real estate tsunami of 2009, she helped hundreds of homeowners save their homes from foreclosure and settled over $1 million in debt. She has a unique perception as an investor with a keen eye for loss mitigation, which led her to pursue tax liens and deeds. Cynthia is a sought-after guest for podcasts and investment clubs. She wants everyone to know about property tax sales investing because it is very accessible to everyone, regardless of credit or cash reserves. So she started Tax Lien Mastermind.

Most real estate investors plan for the day that they can devote 100% of their time to real estate as a full-time investor.

But our guest on this episode, Dear Ngo, did just that in six months from the time that she read Rich Dad Poor Dad. Dear shares her journey as a newbie real estate investor and what drove her to dive into the deep end.Dear is the Founder of Remray Equity, and is a syndicator out of Southern California, investing out of state.
