Video and Investing in Notes Resources
Intro to Notes
Glastonbury Thorn is a one-stop shop for investing in mortgages. In this video, we kick things off by explaining what a “note” actually is and why you might want to consider owning one.
Notes vs Rentals
An overview and comparison of the monthly costs an investor faces when investing in rentals vs owning a mortgage as a private investor. The net profit of each type of investment is then compared.
Notes vs. Rehabs
An overview and comparison of the costs, risks and returns for rehabs (also known as fix and flips), vs investing in a non-performing note (one where the borrower is not currently making payments). In effect, we’ll be asking: Is it better to “rehab” a piece of paper (a mortgage that’s past due) or rehab a whole house?
Notes vs. Multi-Family Properties
A comparison of the advantages and disadvantages of buying a multi-family unit for rental income vs buying a portfolio of mortgages. The reason a portfolio of mortgage notes is used for this comparison is because that way we’re comparing apples-to-apples because both examples involve getting investment income from multiple doors.
