Tracy Z is a veteran of the note industry and she brings all her years of experience to talk about what she sees happening in the market, and how she helps others learn about the note business and get started investing in notes. We both love partials and wraps! It was fun for me to hear some of her history, as I came to the industry in the mid 90's, and she was a seasoned professional by then. I always wondered what happened to Metropolitan. They dominated back in the day, but had rolled up shop before I was actively participating in the note business. Thanks, Tracy! Great to rub shoulders with like-minded people in this space. I highly recommend anyone new to note investing check out what she has to offer over at http://noteinvestor.com

Positioning a portfolio for more cash flow before retirement kicks in. Looking at getting some property free and clear, and converting one or two into notes.

I am reminded of a story that Gordon Moss told me years ago... Derisking and being very conservative allowed him to sail through the great financial crash of 2008, whilst his counterparts lost everything during the blood bath. We don't know what's coming, so position accordingly. If real estate prices drop by 30%, or if rents go down while taxes and insurance keep going up would stress you out, it's time to consider taking some profits off the table. You may want to convert some of your real estate into notes and be the lender on your properties instead.
