Making Money With Promissory Notes

Savings will not make you rich, only smart investments do that.

The time to get interested in note investing is when no one else is.

The beginning investor: the first thing that the new investor must realize is that if making money with promissory notes was quick and easy, everyone would have already done it. Education and training are required to become a successful note investor. Since getting the education and training is hard work and takes time, most people will not do what is necessary to become successful. The result is that great investing opportunities awaits the person who has done the preparation. When opportunity presents itself, that person is ready to capitalize on it.

The key things needed to be successful: In order to become properly educated and trained, the beginner must focus on learning the most important elements; we will now discuss them.

Understand your own goals and financial objectives

Understand your own financial position today, and what it should be in the future

Understand your own tolerance for risk

Understand how much of your time you can allocate to getting educated and trained

Understand how much of your own time you can allocate to hands-on note investing

Understand what a promissory note is, and what are its main terms and conditions

Understand what a mortgage is, and what are its main terms and conditions

Understand what a deed of trust is, and what are its main terms and conditions

Understand what the applicable laws are, and how they impact the note transaction

The above mentioned items should be addressed openly, honestly and thoroughly before moving forward. They form the investing foundation upon which you will be building. If you skip one or more item, it will eventually come back to "bite" you. Take you time; talk to trusted family and friends who will "tell it to you like it is". The one person you do not want to mislead or "fool" is yourself.

What Is a Promissory Note? What Are They Used for?

A promissory note is a written contract between parties-a borrower and a lender– signed by the borrower. It contains an unconditional promise to pay a certain amount of money on demand, or in installment payments over a period of time. It is used in a financing transaction – a lending transaction. The individual who promises to pay is the maker (borrower), and the person to whom payment is promised is called the payee or holder (lender). The loan transaction can be secured or unsecured. A secured loan has specified property pledged to cover the repayment if the borrower defaults on making the payments. Another form of collateral security is a co-signor. A co-signor, or a guarantor, is a person who agreements in writing to repay the debt if the borrower defaults. This means that the holder (lender) protects his financial interest by using the maker's collateral security or the maker's co-signer. If the maker fails to pay according to the agreement, the holder can foreclose on...

Promissory Note Frauds and Tricks

I have been actively engaged in the promissory note business for over 40 years. My and my wife’s self-directed IRA accounts have been invested in notes for the same length of time. My note investments have been the foundation of my estate building. Because I believe that promissory notes can be an excellent investment vehicle for the average investor, I try will try explain what they are and how they work. But, I will also point out that notes can be misused and abused by dishonest people and by ignorant people. This article is the first of several articles in which I will attempt to inform the average investor about the benefits and warn the average investor about the detriments of investing in notes. Obviously, there is no perfect investment. Just as cars do not injure and kill people (bad drivers do), promissory notes do not trick and harm people (dishonest or ignorant sellers of promissory notes do). What Promissory Notes Are: Generally, promissory notes are a form of debt simil...

Diversifying simply means that you should hold a variety of investments that do not move in tandem in various market environments (for instance bull and bear markets). You do not need 50 different funds in order to diversify. You can diversify with five, at the most 10, mutual funds or ETFs. Keep fees to a minimum – For both mutual funds and exchange traded funds you can look at the 'total expense ratio. "The best case is an expense ratio less than 1%, and certainly no higher than 2%. have to watch out for "sales load". Be aware of your time frame – Match your time frame to the investment. For example, for money that you expect to use within the next year, focus on low-risk investments such as money market funds, certificates of deposit or US government bonds. Ignore the "gurus" – Pay no attention to the fortune-tellers and pro...
