In the latest episode of "Raising Private Money," Jay Conner dives deep into the nuances of mortgage note investing and private money with his good friend, Jamie Bateman. Renowned for his success in raising over $3,000,000 in private money, Jamie shares his journey and insights into leveraging mortgage notes as a powerful investment vehicle. This episode is a goldmine for both seasoned investors and newcomers looking to expand their portfolios. Let's break down the themes and insights discussed during this illuminating conversation.Jay Conner's Real Estate WisdomA Wealth of ExperienceJay Conner, a real estate investor who began his journey in 2003, has rehabbed over 500 houses. His experience spans various facets of real estate, making him a credible guide for aspiring investors. Conner emphasizes one crucial lesson: avoid operating in isolation. He avows that seeking mentorship from experts can save you from costly mistakes and accelerate your path to success.Jamie Bateman on Mortgage NotesThe Strategic AdvantageJamie Bateman, a prominent voice in mortgage note investing, emphasizes the versatility of this investment strategy. Mortgage notes offer a unique advantage: you can invest across state lines without ever visiting the properties. This location independence is a game-changer, making it easier to diversify your investment portfolio.Moreover, mortgage notes come with a relatively low barrier to entry. Utilizing a licensed loan servicer simplifies compliance and licensing hurdles. This ease of access complements existing residential real estate investing experience and provides opportunities for creative and analytical investment strategies. However, Jamie notes that mortgage notes lack inherent tax advantages. Fortunately, this limitation can be mitigated with self-directed accounts.Passive Investors' OpportunityJamie offers a tantalizing glimpse into the potential for passive investors to earn high returns by partnering with him. For those interested, Jamie's platform offers pathways to explore these lucrative opportunities further.Understanding Private Money in Real EstateSecuring Single-Family HousesJay Conner elucidates how private money underpins real estate transactions, particularly in single-family houses. Utilizing promissory notes to secure private lenders is a prudent strategy, complemented by collateral via a deed of trust or mortgage. Insurance policies include private lenders as mortgagees, and Conner maintains a conservative loan-to-value ratio of 75%. Additionally, a 90-day call option provides a safety net for emergencies.Collateral and Mortgage NotesMortgage notes employ a similar protective measure through hypothecation, where the note and deed of trust serve as collateral. An illustrative example is purchasing a $70,000 principal balance note for $50,000 and borrowing $30,000 against it. Such flexibility in terms is mutually agreed upon between lender and borrower, making mortgage notes a versatile investment vehicle.Jamie Bateman's JourneyTransition from Defense to EntrepreneurshipJamie Bateman's career transition exemplifies the allure of real estate for control and flexibility. After 14 years at the Department of Defense, Jamie ventured into real estate, leveraging his family background in the field. His journey began with rental properties using the BRRR method and pivoted to mortgage notes in 2018. Jamie's varied experiences, including title work, have enriched his investment acumen.Evolving Strategies in Raising CapitalOrganic GrowthJamie shares his organic approach to raising private money: documenting his investment journey on social media and blogs attracted interest from potential investors. This visibility led to his first substantial investment from a former col

Today, I am blessed to have Brett Ender here with me. He is the co-founder and co-host of The Meat Mafia Podcast with Harrison Gray, exploring food and nutrition with guests. Ender is also the co-founder of Noble, a beef protein isolate. In this episode, Brett discusses corporate dominance in the food industry, where profit often outweighs nutrition. He also emphasizes the financial benefits of healthier dietary choices and the importance of prioritizing protein intake. Despite his focus on animal products, he advocates for dietary flexibility. Lastly, he challenges misconceptions about agriculture's environmental impact, highlighting its relatively minor role compared to other industries. / / E P I S O D E   S P ON S O R S  *BonCharge: Blue light Blocking Glasses, Red Light Therapy, Sauna Blankets & More.

These companies prioritize profit at the expense of producing healthy, nutritious foods. Their focus on efficiency may lead to the proliferation of ultra-processed foods. Brett discusses the discrepancy between government regulations on food options in public schools, where nutritious choices like whole milk are restricted while highly processed options are available.  [12:30] Brett's Path to Healing Through Nutrient-Rich Diet  Brett's journey with ulcerative colitis led him to reevaluate his diet. He made a conscious decision to prioritize nutrient-dense foods, particularly animal protein, as a means of healing. Despite financial constraints, Brett opted for investing in high-quality, nourishing foods, rather than relying on medications. He emphasizes the cost-effectiveness of preventive healthcare through dietary changes, compared to the financial burden of hospital bills.  [19:40] The Financial Benefits of Healthier Dietary Choices Brett highlights the importance of quantifying the cost savings and benefits associated with making healthier dietary choices.  Compare the cost of grass-fed meat at the grocery store versus fast food options like Taco Bell, as well as the financial savings from fasting. [32:50] Prioritizing Protein Intake Brett emphasizes the importance of simplicity for dietary choices. He suggests aiming for a gram of protein per pound of ideal body weight from animal products.  By sticking to protein sources that you enjoy, you can establish a solid foundation for their nutritional intake without getting overwhelmed by sourcing or other details initially. [39:35] Dietary Flexibility: Finding Balance Beyond 'The Meat Mafia' Despite having a podcast called "The Meat Mafia" and sharing his healing journey with animal products, Brett acknowledges the importance of dietary flexibility.  He mentions that while the majority of his calories come from animal products, he incorporates fruits, vegetables, and other foods prepared by his girlfriend. This highlights the idea that dietary approaches should be adaptable to individual preferences, tolerances, and circumstances. [47:50] Rethinking Agriculture's Impact Brett highlights the misconception that agriculture, particularly conventional methods involving confined animal feeding operations (CAFOs), contributes significantly to environmental issues.  He points out that while there are concerns with agriculture, its impact pales in comparison to industries like energy and transportation. There is a need for a broader understanding of the various factors influencing environmental sustainability.

Refine Labs is excited to announce a strategic partnership with Aspireship, offering a robust learning program that teaches the core principles and practical applications of the Refine Labs B2B Marketing Strategy. Aspireship, known for its innovative approach to skill advancement, will be launching the B2B Marketing Intensive module, leveraging Refine Labs' library of Vault Intellectual Property. Megan and Corey sat down together on Refine Labs' Stacking Growth podcast to discuss theories behind the resurgence of partnership-based go-to-market strategies, their intrinsic challenges, and how to follow a formula for success. The Revival of Partnership Strategies in B2B Marketing To cut through the volume of digital noise, companies are starting to gravitate back towards co-marketing strategies. This resurgence correlates with the search for strategies that drive word-of-mouth referrals which are, according to Megan, the most authentic form of marketing. Corey expands on this shift, indicating economic changes as a catalyst: "It's financially motivated...Capital became expensive...companies have to be a lot more efficient." By successfully leveraging partnerships, companies aim to scale without incurring heavy upfront costs and ensure a return on every invested dollar. However, the excitement around partnerships doesn't guarantee success. Megan sheds light on the operational reality where many eager attempts at partnerships lead to a dead-end due to lack of genuine referral exchange or substantial financial motivation.  They both agree that for partnerships to work, companies need to be strategic in campaigning for agreements that go above and beyond cross-posting on LinkedIn. The Three Pillars of Effective Partnership Formation Megan outlines three distinct requirements for successful partnerships: Enhance Customer Experience and Outcome At the core of any partnership should lie an improvement to the customer's experience or outcome that neither company could provide singly.  Financial Benefits for All Parties Partnerships must offer clear financial advantages to both companies involved and, importantly, the customer; these financial gains must be substantial enough to incentivize action from all parties. Justification of the Investment A partnership's worth hinges on the sustained investment of time and resources, so aligning the partnership with company priorities is crucial. When partners can see the potential for significant revenue and have authentic mutual buy-in, their dedication to the partnership's success naturally escalates.  As Corey's enthusiasm for taking the Vault course himself attests, creating a partnership with shared excitement and belief in each other's services can lead to profound implications, broadening market access while bolstering credibility and reach for both companies. “Everyone wants to be good at marketing”, Corey plainly states, and this partnership between Refine Labs and Aspireship will ensure access and opportunities for everyone to start or enhance their journey to be a good marketer.

This Valentine’s Day eve, we’re thinking about love and what the economy has to do with it. Coming off the heels of a high-inflation period, is this a good time in our economy to find love?

It shouldn't.” from The Washington Post “Inflation ran hotter than expected in January, complicating the Fed’s rate decision” from CBS News “Swifties vs. NFL fans: What happens when two rabid fanbases collide” from Fast Company We want to hear your answer to the Make Me Smart question.
