Over the last few weeks I’ve been talking with a bunch of agents, and I noticed something interesting: Most people don’t struggle with getting leads… they struggle with what happens after the lead comes in. Some told me: “People stop replying after the first message.” “My follow-up is all over the place.” “I’m juggling too many conversations at once.” So now I’m curious, for you personally: 👉 What part of your client process feels the most chaotic right now? Lead response time? Booking calls? Nurturing? Organization? Something else? I’m asking because I’m trying to understand the REAL bottleneck in this industry… and I think the answers here could help a lot of people. Drop yours below — I’ll share what I’ve been seeing once a few people jump in.

As interest rates fluctuate, mortgage note investors must navigate the changing landscape carefully. Recent rate cuts can significantly affect investment strategies and outcomes. Here are some key impacts to consider: 1. Lower Yield on New Investments: As rates decline, newly issued mortgages typically offer lower yields. This might pressure returns compared to existing notes with higher interest rates. 2. Increased Refinancing Activity: Homeowners often refinance to take advantage of lower rates. While this can pay off existing loans, it may create reinvestment challenges for note holders. 3. Market Value of Existing Notes: Existing notes with higher interest rates might increase in market value, benefiting investors holding these assets. 4. Demand for Real Estate: Lower rates can stimulate housing demand, leading to increased property values—potentially enhancing collateral for notes. 5. Vigilance on Borrower Default Risks: While lower rates generally support borrowers, prolonged economic downturns can lead to defaults, making it essential to assess borrower creditworthiness regularly. In this evolving landscape, being proactive and adaptable is crucial. Thoughts?

i just finished a 2-day workshop with pete fortunato where he taught some sophisticated real estate concepts pertaining to real property and notes. he did transactions where he "walked" notes from one property to another. it sounded something like the portable mortgage the govt is considering. i have a book from the class, so I'll have to review the paperwork for this transaction to try to understand how he made it work. but has anyone ever heard of (or did) this before? In sum, he moved a mortgage from one house to another to continue paying the same note even though it was associated with different properties.
