In the picturesque town of Seymour, Tennessee, nestled between the bustling University of Tennessee campus and the tourist haven of Pigeon Forge, Brenda Price has discovered a new passion that’s transforming her financial future. A former educator with over two decades of experience, Brenda has seamlessly transitioned into the world of real estate note investing, thanks to the guidance and community support of NoteSchool!

A New Chapter in Real Estate

Brenda’s journey into real estate investing began in April 2020, amidst the uncertainty of the global pandemic. As a single parent of two young children, she faced the challenge of balancing her new venture with family responsibilities and a busy schedule.

“When I started, we were only meeting virtually,” Brenda recalls. “I struggled a little bit, thinking, ‘How do I fit this in? I can’t go to the webinars, and I’m not getting education.’ But I figured out a way to navigate it to suit what I had going on and made it work.”

The NoteSchool Difference

What sets NoteSchool apart, according to Brenda, is its personalized approach to education and investment strategy. As a liaison for new students, Brenda now helps others find their path in note investing.

“We have a conversation about what they’re looking for, their background, and their goals,” she explains. “Then we develop the path the student would go on, considering their schedule and how it fits into a real-life scenario.”

Let’s hear it from Brenda herself:

This tailored approach has been crucial for Brenda and many others who juggle multiple responsibilities while building their investment portfolios.

Building a Community of Support

One of the most significant benefits Brenda has experienced with NoteSchool is the strong sense of community. She emphasizes the importance of attending live events, such as the Summer Summit and Note Expo, to fully appreciate the power of the NoteSchool network.

“When you get in the room with other NoteSchool students, that’s my favorite part,” Brenda enthuses. “You realize what you are a part of. NoteSchool students are fantastic – they’re humble, kind, giving, and not in competition with you. They want to help you and help each other.”

This spirit of collaboration and shared success has inspired Brenda to think bigger and reach further in her investing journey! Hear Brenda talk about it below:

Applying NoteSchool Strategies in the Real World

Brenda’s success with NoteSchool isn’t just theoretical. She shares a touching story of how she applied the principles learned from Eddie Speed to help a family in need while securing a profitable investment.

“I approached this man about his house and negotiated a seller finance deal,” Brenda recounts. The homeowner’s mother had Alzheimer’s and needed specialized care. By structuring a deal that provided the family with the necessary monthly income and cleared existing debts, Brenda created a win-win situation that allowed the elderly woman to receive proper care while Brenda acquired a valuable property.

“It worked out for everybody,” she says proudly. “It was the win-win all around.”

Bringing NoteSchool Principles to Her Community

Inspired by the NoteSchool model, Brenda has taken the initiative to build a similar community in her local area. She’s joined networking groups like Knoxville’s Best Real Estate Meetup and South Knoxville’s Community Meetup, spreading the word about mortgage note investing.

“I’ve learned that model from NoteSchool and have brought it to my backyard,” Brenda explains. “It’s been benefiting me and hopefully benefiting the individuals that I’m networking with here.”

Lessons Learned and Advice for New Investors

Reflecting on her journey, Brenda emphasizes the importance of leveraging the NoteSchool community from the start. She recalls a missed opportunity early in her investing career when she was overwhelmed by a large portfolio offer.

“I wish I had gone back to the NoteSchool community and brought it to everybody and said, ‘I’ve got this scenario, somebody help me,'” she admits. “I could have bought that portfolio with partnership and coaching that is available at NoteSchool.”

Her advice to new students? “Don’t suffer in silence. Bring your deal to the webinar call, people in the community that you know are in the same space as you, put it on Facebook, ask for help. What you’re looking for is available for you at NoteSchool to help you through your deals.”

The Future of Note Investing

As traditional landlording faces challenges with rising taxes, insurance costs, and changing market conditions, Brenda sees note investing as an increasingly attractive option.

“I think now would be a great time to learn about mortgage note investing,” she advises. “This would be the place to come to get that education so that you can enjoy some net income and some cash flow along the way.”

For those considering joining NoteSchool, Brenda offers encouragement: “Get into NoteSchool, let’s get started, let’s have a liaison call, get you on your educational path. It’s a marathon, not a sprint. We’ll put you on a path that’s digestible and encourage you not to be shy and come to all the events.”
