Unleash Your Inner banker
Iman Cultural Center, 3376 Motor Avenue, Los Angeles, ca, USWhat if you could invest in real estate without tenants, toilets, or renovations…and still generate consistent monthly income? Most investors focus on owning property—rentals, fix & flips, and rehabs. But the real power in real estate lies in owning the financing (not the property). “Those who control the financing control the deal.” In today’s market, more deals are dying at the financing stage than at any time in recent years— creating a major challenge for both investors and realtors. The expert in this area is WREN veteran Cindy Coleman. In Cindy’s presentation, you’ll discover:
• How to buy performing and non-performing notes
• What mortgage notes are (and why banks love them)
• How to create notes when you sell a property instead of taking profit
• How to generate monthly income from your deals
• How seller financing can help realtors close more dealsIf you’ve never heard of mortgage notes before, this session will open up an entirely new way to invest in real estate. Don’t miss Cindy Coleman!
In July 2017, Cindy decided to leave the corporate world and started investing in real estate. She joined a national network and quickly began educating herself. She also joined WREN (Women’s Real Estate Network) and local REIA’s to associate with like-minded real estate entrepreneurs.By 2018, Cindy had acquired four properties in Tennessee to fix and flip.
Going back and forth managing the projects, while exciting, was taxing. At that point, she decided to transition from fixing and flipping properties into fixing and flipping “paper” by investing in first position Performing and Non-Performing Notes. In May 2023, she partnered with another Real Estate Professional and formed S&C Capital, LLC. S&C Capital provides Note & Mortgage originations for Hard Money Loans for Private Lenders. These loans are used for the purchase and renovation of affordable housing in the Mid-West.In October 2023, Cindy founded her non-profit organization that helps low to middle, working class families live the American dream of home ownership. Investors that provide loans and/or donations may enjoy tax benefits and gain access to funds through Government grants and programs that will help build affordable housing for families and their communities. Cindy further expanded her Note business by introducing other Note opportunities for investors. Keeping with her passion for wanting to keep families in their homes, Cindy works diligently with investors, as well as building her own portfolio, throughout the US doing what she loves.
