W. Eddie Speed is the president of Colonial Funding Group, LLC. And, as the founder of NoteSchool™ and author of Streetwise Seller Financing, he is a nationally recognized expert on seller-financed notes. Eddie has purchased more 30,000 notes totaling over a half a billion dollars in the past 25 years – an industry record.

Seller Financing: The Right Time, the Best Opportunity!

Subprime crisis, mortgage meltdown, record foreclosures. You’ve heard it all, and you know it’s only going to get worse. But there’s a silver lining, an opportunity that real estate investors can turn into gold. It's the growing market of seller financing.

Seller financing is filling the void created by the decline in mortgage lending. Unable to find qualified buyers, sellers are increasingly carrying loans themselves. This creates a huge inventory of seller-financed notes that are ripe for investor picking. Whether brokering notes, creating notes on your own properties, or investing in notes, the “note pro” can pocket a significant profit from every transaction.

Eddie’s lively presentation reveals how the savvy real estate investor can actually thrive off of the mortgage implosion. You can shift gears into a new career or supplement your current business with the lucrative opportunities in seller financing. Eddie will show you how.  The cost is only $15 for non-members and a guest.  Members admitted free.  No need to register, but if you think you'll attend please email JonathanSwanson@SeaCoastRealty.com so we can plan accordingly.

NoteSchool - Your Resource for Real Estate Notes Presents...

A One-Day Workshop by W. Eddie Speed

Seller-Financed Notes: Phenomenal Growth, Incredible Opportunity!

Seller financing is emerging as the solution to the decline in traditional lending, due to the subprime crisis. Increasingly, it’s responding to the sluggish real estate market by offering a real alternative to conventional mortgages. With seller financing, more property owners are able to sell---often more quickly and at higher prices. It also allows many would-be buyers to purchase the properties they want.

Seller financing can also benefit mortgage brokers, realtors, and cash flow specialists. By adding this lucrative specialty to your business services, you can reap the financial rewards in several ways. In fact, seller financing offers the note professional four exceptional profit streams:

  1. Create seller-financed notes
  2. Broker note transactions
  3. Invest in notes for your own portfolio
  4. Find real estate bargains via notes

The sudden growth of opportunities in seller financing has sparked a demand for note education.
In response, NoteSchool® is offering a unique introductory workshop designed specifically for you!

During this one-day workshop, you’ll learn:

How to create loans for “just missed” buyers who can’t qualify for conventional loans

How to maximize the value of a note

The minimum credit to consider when offering seller financing

How much down payment is enough

Where to find ready sources of money to buy notes

What verifications you absolutely must obtain from your buyer

Who must comply with Federal disclosure laws: TILA and RESPA

How much debt load your buyer can really afford

The most effective ways to find notes: Direct Mail Marketing and Reverse-Ad Marketing

How to purchase notes—without investing a dime of your own money

Negotiating skills that turn note owners into note sellers

How to enrich your own portfolio with income-producing assets that will last for generations

How to get real estate deals to come to you

How to make several times more money from a loan than the bank does

And much, much more!

This workshop is the most comprehensive introduction to seller financing you’ll find anywhere—And it’s taught by the leading expert in seller financing. You can’t get better training, and you won’t find a better instructor!  All this...for only $40 for Non-Members and a guest, $30 for members and a guest.  No need to register, but if you think you'll attend please email JonathanSwanson@SeaCoastRealty.com so we can plan accordingly.
