Description

Ever wonder how banks make so much money?

(Hint: It’s NOT risky, it’s fast, and YOU can copy them... No matter how broke or new you are.)

You might be thinking that the only way to invest in real estate is by buying a property, then selling it or renting it out. 

But what if you don’t have the time or inclination to do labor-intensive renovations and regular maintenance? 

You’ve most likely read the books or listened to the gurus discussing how millions were made by flipping houses or wholesaling. 

However, these methods normally entail extensive work, in-depth research, or a whole lot of money (be it yours or someone else’s). 

Owning property in itself involves plenty of challenges and out-of-pocket expenses. 

But what if there was a way to reap the income-generating benefits of real estate without experiencing the pitfalls? 

Enter mortgage note investing – an investment strategy so risk-free that even banks do it. 

This type of investment is secured by real estate – assets that are likely to appreciate – thus giving you a good exit strategy if the borrower defaults. 

It’s a less popular but highly lucrative real estate investment… if you know how to do it right. 

Fortunately, even if it’s the first time you’ve heard of note investing, you can get right up to speed with this complete beginner’s guide that will lay out all you need to know. 

In Invest Like a Bank, here is just a fraction of what you will discover: 

*  How you can make money while helping distressed homeowners avoid losing their home 

*  An ideal starting point to note investing that doesn’t involve a lot of money and can give you immediate feedback on your due diligence

*  The one type of collateral you should never accept, no matter how profitable the investment seems

*  How to figure out the right type of mortgage notes to invest in that will fit your budget, lifestyle, and preference

*  Step-by-step calculations you can easily follow to check whether you’re getting your money’s worth

*  The 3 main criteria you should consider when choosing a city to invest in to avoid future headaches

*  How to capitalize on your LinkedIn connections to gain access to great deals and widen your investor network

*  How to protect your money from scammers by ensuring you have this professional on your team

*  Rewarding alternatives to foreclosure that will save the borrower’s credit and save you precious time and money

*  How to considerably grow your notes portfolio quickly without using any of your own money

*  Bonus: Downloadable note investing checklist to help you quickly assess a note’s investment potential

And much more.

Regardless of your investing experience, investing in mortgage notes is a great way to get your feet wet in the real estate market. 

It’s easier to start with note investing to gain knowledge and experience, then expand to other types of real estate investing in the future. 

Eventually, mortgage notes can become a valuable portion of a bigger real estate portfolio that’s diversified among different types of investments, properties, and locations. 

With the knowledge you’ll gain from this guide, you’ll have more than enough to get you started. 

Pretty soon, you’ll be growing from one note to ten to fifty and even more, with thousands of dollars in income effortlessly rolling in.

"Thomas Herold - Ever Heard About Note Investing?

I had read many books about investing in the past. Most of them are collections of information that floats around the Internet. Rarely do you find a book that really shares the power of investing as brilliant and structured as with this book by Beaux Blast. I had no idea that you can buy notes and use them as an investment. Many people talk about investing in real estate, but this book teaches you about investing in notes. Highly recommended!

Scarlett - Excellent Information on real estate investing

If you want to invest in mortgage debt, this unique book will give you a great head start. Basically, it tells you how to buy individual mortgages from a bank or another investor. You then become the holder of someone else's mortgage. Thorough, detailed, easy-to-understand - a terrific source of information. I especially enjoyed his description of how to deal with ""non-performing notes,"" i.e. mortgages where the borrower has stopped paying. This is a get-rich-with-a-lot-of-hard-work book, much more believable than the other kind.

Pat Mitchell - An Interesting Book on Risk-Free Investment Strategy

This book is a simple read to understand how to make money from debt - real estate debt, mortgage notes, and distressed mortgages. It provides discerning insights to undertake risk-free investment by presenting important aspects and knowledge to do so - due diligence, assembling a team, tools and websites to comprehend investment strategy, including real estate investing, and exit strategy - short sale, selling and renting the property, refinancing, and selling the mortgage note. Well researched, analyzed, and written to help us understand how money can be made from debt financing.

Stuart Nosler - A New Viewpoint

I like how easy it is to follow and understand the investment perspective of Note Investments. I love how this book provides references for getting started investing by providing several websites (Of which I did check out) in Notes."

Featured Reviews

Invest Like a Bank by Beaux Blast made me realize the potential of buys and investing in notes in real estate. He can make someone interested, or uninterested suddenly see themselves as a potential note investor. The way he sells it and then goes into how it is possible for everyone to learn the ways of buying and selling notes. He makes the whole process seem easy and doable for someone with no contacts, experience, or even knowing what a note is. The fact there is a business on taking full advantage of other peoples debt is mind boggling to me. After reading many investment books and with most they just repeating things to motivate their readers to get out there.

Although this book was a tad difficult for me, I am not a numbers gal, I still liked learning about a different investment option. This, for me, would take a ton more reading in to and learning but it was worth the read!

There's a lot of good info in here. You CAN make money in real estate doing this if you're tenacious and personable enough to build some good relationships in the biz. I got lost on the math, however, and I even took the classes, in person, during my CRS - Certified Residential Specialist - designation classes.
I did notice a few of the suggestions are just not possible where I live, due to the laws in my state, so make sure you do some research on your own state laws--stay out of jail. And, bankers have already built some pretty solid relationships with people they trust, so breaking in, while not impossible, is not as easy as it sounds. There's a lot of competition in this market, so as I said, you'll need tenacity to rise above the chaff.

This was a great book good for those with an entrepreneurial mindset or those who want to start investing and making money. I would recommend this to anyone who is keen and interested in starting to invest. Thank you for a great book and thank you to NetGalley for giving me an Arc copy to read.

This is quite a hard book to follow, however, it is very informative.

If you have an interest in numbers and investing, it’s definitely a good read for you. If you’re a novice like myself, you may struggle. However, having a notebook beside you whilst reading will definitely be beneficial.

All in all, lots of information and a good book to learn from.
