I just spent 3 days (7 hours a day) at a big real estate event and here’s what hit me. They broke the whole game down into 3 roles: Finder The dog on the bone. Calling homeowners, chasing FSBOs, digging through every crack in the market trying to find real deals at 60 cents on the dollar. Their job is to feed the Operator. Operator The flipper. The one in the chaos. Hiring contractors, buying materials, lining up the money, paying everybody, dealing with inspectors, buyers, lenders, drama, delays, all the shit that has to be handled just to get one house sold. Funder The money. Private lender comes in, looks at the numbers, decides yes or no, wires the funds, and then goes back to their life while the Operator sweats it out. When the deal closes, they get paid and look for the next one. Everyone in that room—attendees and coaches—kept pointing to the same “endgame”: 👉 Be the Funder Be the Funder Be the Funder And I’m sitting there thinking: I’ve been doing a version of this for 20 years… but louder. Because the note business is the Funder on steroids. We’re not funding one or two flips, getting cashed out, then letting our money sit around hoping for the next “good deal” to come along. It's also a race to the bottom. The operator is always looking for the cheapest money. Why borrow at 12% when I can get it for 7 or 8 or 6. Those are crap numbers. As note investors, we buy the paper. We buy groups of deals. We control the income stream. We work them out, restructure, modify, foreclose when we have to, and get paid from multiple directions. Some notes pay my retirement accounts for 20 years tax free! My family business can comfortably work 5–6 deals at the same time. Any more than that and yeah, we start to go a little bonkers—but in a good way. That’s leverage. That’s control. That’s being the Funder with way more options than a one-off flip. If you’re tired of only swinging a hammer or chasing leads and you want to see how the “Funder on steroids” side really works, drop a 🔥 in the comments or message me “NOTES” and I’ll walk you through how this model actually builds long-term cash flow.

I want to first welcome everyone to this group! My idea for this community is to share some key concepts that are not commonly available to people. I have made discoveries by accident over the last 26 years of investing that are very substantial and have impacted myself and my family as well as the Alumni of students I have so fortunately met over the last 18 years. I mentioned that I "made discoveries by accident". I want you to focus on this. What took me 26 years to compile mostly by accident, I can teach you on purpose in a relatively short time compared to 26 years! Imagine gaining 26 years worth of trial and error knowledge condensed into 180 days of 1 on 1 training! The mainstream Retirement Education System out there in the world has an agenda that serves themselves first and foremost and I can so easily prove it to you with this one traceable fact: Less than 2% of the adult population takes advantage of a Self-Directed Retirement account. You may have never heard of such an account, and if you did, you were warned that they are dangerous and difficult to manage and you could lose some or all of your retirement nest egg! We were also taught to Save for Retirement. Who is telling us to save for retirement? The banks. What do the banks do with our savings? They lend. They don't save your money, they take your deposits and lend through the Fractional Reserve System. If you search YouTube on "Retirement" you will be bombarded with videos on how much you should have saved for retirement, what the right amount is and at what age and how much is enough. A million dollars at 65 and the list goes on and on. Imagine having assets that throw off monthly income that you can spend or save. Yes you can save the money that comes in. You save until you have enough to put down on another cash flowing asset. That's how you do it. Cash Poor Asset Rich! Your money has to go through the rinse cycle and only comes out to spend after the investment spits it out. Hence Retirement Cash Flow. You don't work to save up and spend later. That is a fools game. I'll show you why. When I was 18 I was making $4.00 an hour working 50 hours a week. $200 a week minus taxes I was taking home $130 a week. If I saved 10% of that money (which was impossible) that $13 in today's value would be worth about $.60 I would have to have saved that $13 for 50 years!

Crunching the numbers at the moment for a cash flowing turnkey Airbnb 10 minutes from San Juan Airport. This unit is a 5 Plex and considering making 2 of the units long term rentals (One unit for the Property Manager/Partner) to cover monthly expenses. This should be interesting!

I believe we have someone here that just retired and is ready to make some real money! Drum roll please . . . . . . . . ! Let's hear it for Cody!! @Cody Cox

If you were offered $5 million today and had to pick an asset class to invest in, what would your choice be? Even if you have never invested before , what would you choose? Examples: Land, Apartment buildings, Commercial property, Tech Stock, Notes, Precious metals, Crypto, Trailer parks etc. No wrong answers. If you don't pick today, you lose the opportunity! You don't need to invest today you just need to chose. Let's Hear It!
