Promissory Notes – Tools for Successful Investing

Investing correctly does not happen by magic.
You need the correct tools.

In addition to having the correct tools, you have to learn how to use them.

Promissory Note Investing Tools – What are some of them?

Tool # 1 "Know thyself."
The most basic starting point is being completely open and honest with yourself. Here are some important questions to ask yourself. Based upon your own special circumstances there may be additional important questions for you to explore.

• How much money do I have right now for investing in promissory notes?

• How much time do I have right now to devote to the investing process?

• Am I a knowledgeable and experienced promissory notes investor, or I a beginner?

• What is my long-term investing goal or goals?

• Do I need monthly or quarterly cash income right now?

• If I suffer an investing setback, or a job loss, or an investing loss, what impact on my life will that have?

• If I am investing for retirement purposes, when do I plan to retire?

• Do I plan on being a solo investor, or a partner investor, or part of a group?

Tool # 2 "Understand and admit where and when you need guidance"
If you do not have all of the education, skills, and experience needed to make sound investments — admit it. Do not kid yourself; do not pretended that you are something that you are not. The only person that you will trick and hurt is yourself.

Since your main goal is to make successful promissory note investments, you should use as many tools as we can to achieve that goal. A key tool is an experienced, honest advisor.

No one was born knowing how to be a successful promissory note investor. Everyone had to start at the beginning and learn. You can engage a competent advisor to help you along at the beginning.

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.

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.
