Creating Relationships That Lead to Revenue with Nathan Turner

In this episode of REI Marketing Weekly, we’re diving deep into
the world of note investing with Nathan Turner, widely known as
“The Canadian Note Guy.” Whether you’re a seasoned real estate
investor or someone curious about unique investment strategies,
this conversation is packed with insights. Nathan shares his 15+
years of experience in real estate, discussing his transition
from fix-and-flip to the more hands-off and scalable world of
note investing. Along the way, he highlights the importance of
networking, reputation, and relationship-building in the note
investing community.





We also explore how note investing offers an alternative path to
passive income without the hassles of property ownership. Nathan
breaks down the marketing techniques unique to this space, the
value of maintaining a good reputation, and how personal
connections can lead to fruitful deals. If you’ve ever wondered
how note investing works or are intrigued by its potential, this
is an episode you don’t want to miss!





Key Takeaways from the Episode:


1. Reputation is Everything in Note Investing


In the niche world of note investing, your reputation is your
brand. Being reliable, following through on promises, and
maintaining integrity can make or break your success in this
relationship-driven business.


2. Networking is the Cornerstone of Deal Flow


Attending conferences, building genuine relationships, and
staying active on platforms like Facebook and LinkedIn are
essential for sourcing deals and staying top-of-mind for
referrals. As Nathan explains, connections often lead directly to
opportunities.


3. The Simplicity of Note Investing


Unlike fix-and-flip or rental properties, note investing offers
cash flow without property management headaches. By owning the
paper (mortgage), not the property, investors enjoy passive
income while avoiding maintenance and tenant issues.


4. Personalized Marketing Stands Out


Nathan’s approach to marketing focuses on sharing relatable,
personal stories through emails and social media. By connecting
on a human level, he stays memorable and builds trust with his
network.


5. Diverse Options in Note Investing


Note investing suits a variety of people, from passive investors
seeking hands-off income to active investors managing portfolios.
Whether you’re leveraging an IRA or looking to diversify, there’s
a pathway in note investing tailored for your goals.
