holdings and investments in the industry because three fundamental
shifts have taken place in the market.

Note Buying with Eddie Speed continued...
The fact that the smart
money, such as Wall Street
Hedge Funds, has already
noted the changes and taken
appropriate actions for huge
profits in the future. In order
to profit big just like the
smart money, investors must
first familiarize themselves
with the shift that has taken
place in the market. The fundamental shift will be discussed during the first event by Eddie Speed on April 16th, 2015.
In order for a real estate investor to sell at a profit, they must buy
at a discount. Some of the best discount buying strategies include
short, foreclosure, tax deed, REO property and probate sales. The
discount profits are realized through exit strategies that are preplanned like wholesale, retail, fix and rent as well as lease options.
New changes in government regulations have posed new challenges that must be counteracted such as rising prices, lack of inventory, falling profit margins, increased competition and increased
issues with landlords. Investing in the note industry comes with a
range of benefits spanning high national inventory, discount buys of
up to 70%, less competition, huge investment returns, no issues
with landlords, exemptions by Dodd-Frank, payments from government funds, streams of passive income to payouts in lump sums.
According to the Guest Speaker Eddie Speed, this is a life-time opportunity that must be banked on because the future is very promising. “This is an opportunity that the seasoned investor can easily
add to their current skill set because the investment philosophy is
the same: buy at a discount with a pre-planned exit strategy.”
All these facts about investing in the note industry and a motivating
case study will be discussed during the seminar set for April 18th,
2015.
