Episode Highlights:

[09:13] The Power of Adaptability in the Early Stages of Real Estate Investing

When they started with real estate investing, Crystal and Rick started with fix and flips and wholesaling, taking an open-minded approach to allow each deal to guide their strategy of acquire and exit. By allowing each transaction to dictate the strategy, it helped spark their creativity and provided valuable lessons that optimized their process over time. 

[20:09] What is a Real Estate Note? 

A real estate note refers to the documentation involved in a property transaction that includes a promissory note, deed, and deed of trust. The promissory note outlines the terms of the loan between the borrower and lender such as the loan amount, interest rate, repayment period, and payment schedule. The deed transfers ownership of the property to the buyer. And the deed of trust provides collateral for the loan by placing a lien on the property which allows the lender to foreclose on the property if payments are missed, protecting their investment.

[23:20] The Benefits of Notes

Real estate notes provide benefits to both borrowers and investors. For borrowers, notes allow them to purchase property through owner financing without requiring strong credit or a large down payment. Investors are able to earn a fixed rate of return through monthly interest payments as outlined in the promissory note. Notes also offer limited downside risk for investors, as the property acts as collateral in case of default.
