    "YOU CAN'T FIND THIS INFO ANYWHERE ELSE." Dean's course on “Finding Notes” was instrumental to my success in my sub-group formation and successful note pool purchases. I have to date purchased (with the help of my sub-group members and NBP) over $2.5m in uncollected UPB (Unpaid Principal Balance) on 1st and 2nd position loans since Jan 8 2009! Just learning the language of these bankers/ brokers from Note Buying Profits was my first step in the door... I am a firm believer in sticking with something that works, and Note Buying Profits does work. Whether you are a beginner to note buying or a seasoned RE investor with a track record, your time is well spent reviewing the material that is laid out for you in these conference calls and courses. Having this material at your fingertips will jump you far ahead in the learning curve past other note investors that are out there and keep you current in this ever changing environment on Note Buying. You can't find this info anywhere else.

    "THE COURSE IS RICH IN KNOWLEDGE, STRATEGIES, AND PRECISE DIRECTION." Because of the fundamental and solid teaching in your course, I find myself having more than enough non-performing notes to either bid on or broker out to larger investors. I’ve done that with just your basic but valuable info on contacting, knowing what to say and following up. I feel I have come full circle and have put in place a solid business that is more than ripe to take off. Yet that’s not it. Is it the fact that because of your teaching, direction and strategies I am now linked up and working with some very well capitalized buyers to broker the many notes, pools of notes that now come through my email? No, that’s not it either. So, if I must pick one thing then it would have to be the this: It’s the underlying message, very well communicated, to really take serious, immediate and efficient action. The gift was that I completely believed it can be done. The course is rich in knowledge, strategies and precise direction but your ability to create a clear vision about how, if one commits oneself, anything is possible, is where the true value lies.
