    How Do You Create a 21% ROI Note Portfolio?

    How do you create a portfolio of performing notes that will return you a 21% ROI as a new note investor? You work with Scott Carson! Scott shares how new coaching students purchased 18 performing notes in four months at 67% of the UPB to yield a net 21% ROI.

    Scott breaks down the numbers, shares the geography of the deals, and the different exit strategies that his 1:1 Coaching Students have on how to return their capital, refinance with OPM, or flip the portfolio for a quick profit. Scott also discusses why his students didn't wait for a note trading platform to upload new deals and how they went out and marketed for deals directly from sellers. You too can go from zero to 20% if you are coachable and follow what Scott teaches.
