NCREIA Nothing but Notes Focus Group
·OnlineOnlineSame business—two totally different playbooks. Is it better to create your own mortgage note or buy one that's already performing?
This month, the Nothing but Notes Focus Group is turning into a friendly showdown. We’re bringing two top note investors into the ring to debate the ultimate question: Make them or buy them?
In one corner, we have Sharon Conour (Founder of Weird Lending), who builds notes from the ground up through private lending. In the other corner, we have Marco Bario (President of Porch Swing Funding), who buys existing seller-financed notes on the secondary market.
Neither one is backing down—pull up a virtual seat, learn their strategies, and pick a side.
What You'll Learn:
- The Key Differences: The reality of risk, capital, and control when lending to create a note vs. buying one already in motion.
- The Playbooks: How both Sharon and Marco find opportunities, protect their capital, and maximize returns.
- Your Framework: A clear path to decide whether creating, buying, or combining both strategies fits your personal investing goals.
Whether you're looking to become the bank using a self-directed IRA or want to turn future payment streams into immediate cash, this is a masterclass in the paper side of real estate. This event is FREE and open to everyone.

NCREIA Online Seminar: How to Get Started in New Construction
·OnlineOnlineNOTE: RSVPing here does NOT get you a link: you'll need to register at our
website, HERE: https://reia.app/41M15V10 to do that.Existing homes are often too expensive to rent profitably.
Great rehab opportunities are getting harder to find.
More and more investors are beginning to ask themselves, "Should I just build instead?"For many of your colleagues, the answer is YES!!!—but it only works when you
understand how new construction really works.That's exactly what this full-day online workshop is designed to teach.
Licensed General Contractor, entrepreneur, Realtor, and investor Lionel Finley will show
you what it takes to move from buying existing houses to building your own profitable
projects.You'll learn how to:
- Evaluate whether new construction makes sense in your market
- Find and analyze building sites
- Understand zoning and permitting challenges
- Budget accurately
- Finance construction projects
- Build the right team
- Manage projects from dirt to finished home
- Decide whether to build to sell or build to rent
- Scale into larger development opportunities
Whether you've never built anything or you're simply curious whether new construction
belongs in your investing business, this workshop will help you avoid expensive
mistakes and make better decisions.The workshop will be recorded and all registrants will receive the recording, so register
even if you can't attend live.Your investment is only $47 through Thursday, July 23rd if you're a member, $97
through Thursday, July 23rd if you're not (but since it only costs $30 a month to join, it's
smarter to do that, and get access to our other 20 monthly meeting, and save $50).
And, as always, there’s a 100% satisfaction guarantee, or your money back.Again, RSVPing here on meetup does NOT get you your link! Go HERE: https://reia.app/41M15V10 for full
