Why this cohort is different

For most of this year I have been building AI tools around my own note buying process. They take a raw tape and filter it against your buy box, pull the property and title data you need, run the pricing, and draft the offer. I use them every week on my own acquisitions.

This cohort gets them first. You will run them on the live calls, on real tapes, on your own deals, and nobody outside this cohort has access to them yet.

There is a real advantage to being in the room while a tool is still being built. You learn the process underneath it rather than just which buttons to press, and what you say on a Thursday call changes what the tool does by the following Monday. That is only true once.

Every seat also includes Note Launchpad 2.0 when it is released.

What I ask in return is simple. Use the tools on your own deals during the six weeks, and tell me when something is wrong. They work, and they still have rough edges. If you want finished software, this is not the cohort for you.

Expert Guidance for Note Investing Success

Instead of going in circles while trying to learn how to make money in notes, have an experienced note investor be your guide to walk you through all of the steps to be successful in notes and get you over the finish line.

What to Expect

You are about to learn how to be a top 1% investor and do deals and generate profits faster than ever, rather than getting stuck spending too much time, taking too much risk, and not profiting enough from your investing activities.

  • We will break each topic down into the key concepts, then showing you how to implement specific tactics and procedures, and then review real work examples and case studies so that it is easy to understand and put into practice.

  • We will show you how to use checklists and calculators so that you can spend more time finding and doing deals instead of building tools.

  • We will use practice deals and homework so that everything you learn is reinforced.

  • You will have lifetime access to over 30 hours of training videos, the checklists and calculators, and all of the recordings so that you can review the material any time you need to.

I help my students lead a bigger, more exciting life, through note investing

People learn note investing from me because they want to know exactly what they need to do to take action, do more deals, and earn more money - without fluff or BS

Meet Dan Deppen - A former aerospace engineer and product manager at Amazon (AWS) who is currently a full-time note investor. His extensive project management, analytical and budget/financial governance experience uniquely qualifies him to manage large pools of notes to produce the most optimal profit outcomes for the company and its investor partners. He has been an active investor in the notes space since 2017 with 5 of those years as a full-time note investor.

With a passion for education and helping investors create side incomes, grow their retirement nest eggs, and diversify their income streams from their W2 he has been helping students learn how to invest in notes since 2019.

3 Step Process to Speed Learning

For each section of the curriculum we use a 3 step process to reinforce learning and prevent confusion. First you learn the overall concepts, then you learn step by step exactly what to do, then we review real world examples to reinforce your understanding.

  • Concepts

    Most note education doesn't go beyond the high-level concepts. We begin with the concepts so that later you'll understand the 'why' behind everything you need to do.

  • Step by step process

    Then you learn the exact steps to take to implement the process so that you know exactly what you need to do. For example, you learn how to use the pricing calculators, due diligence checklists, and seller finance deal analyzer.

  • Examples

    Finally, we go through numerous real-world examples from deals that I've completed so that you can see the concepts and processes in action. You'll see what a deal looks like from end to end, all the way from sourcing and filtering to due diligence, pricing, and more.

This program is for you if:

  • You want someone to show you exactly how to invest in notes and take you through the process step by step.

  • You’ve already bought some notes, but want to learn how to be a faster, more efficient, and more profitable investor.

  • You are ready to learn how to scale up your note investing and take full advantage of this current note cycle.

  • You want to work directly with Dan and a small group of motivated investors

  • You have capital ready to deploy, roughly $20,000 or more, in the next six months

  • You want to be early on the new tools rather than late

This program is not for you if:

  • You want finished, polished software. The tools work, and they still have rough edges

  • You have less than about $20,000 you can deploy in the next six months

Phase One

Find the Right Deals

We kick off The Note Accelerator with Phase One: Find the Right Deals.

In Phase One, not only will you learn how and where to find good deals, you will also learn how to find the deals that are right for you and aligned with your goals.

You will receive my current list of note sellers, including recently added sources, that you can reach out to today and use to find deals.

We will go in-depth into how to find new sources of notes on your own, so that supply of notes will never limit you.

We’ll put together your goals and business model so that you can easily identify which deals might be right for you.

Then we’ll teach you a streamlined filtering method so that you can quickly process the available notes for sale to figure out which ones to make offers on.

With the ability to find unlimited note deals and identify which ones are right for you, we move on to Phase Two.

Phase Two

Close the Right Deals

In Phase Two: Close the Right Deals, we will teach you how to price deals so that you balance your returns with the risk level of the deal and perform detailed due diligence so that you only close on the right deals.

In Phase Two, you’ll learn not just the high-level conceptual approach, but we’ll also use procedures and tools so that you will know a step-by-step process to quickly and accurately price deals and determine if it is ok to close on them.

You’ll receive deal analyzers for both performing and non-performing notes, which you’ll use to quickly and accurately understand your potential returns.

We’ll dive deep into a step-by-step process for due diligence so that you avoid making costly mistakes.

With these systems, you’ll not only be more accurate, but also much faster than other investors which will save you valuable time and make you a more desirable counterparty to your note sellers.

Phase Three

Run a Profitable Portfolio

In Phase Three: Run a Profitable Portfolio, we focus on what happens after we buy a notes.

We will show you exactly what to do to onboard a new note and operate it efficiently on a day-to-day basis and not let anything fall through the cracks.

For non-performing notes, we will deep dive and strategies, playbooks, and tips and tricks for creatively finding exit plans and executing on them with maximum profit.

We will run through practice scenarios for loss mitigation so that you understand your available options for dealing with a non-performing note.

You will be handed a set of standard operating procedures so that you can scale the size of your note portfolio while staying on top of all of the details.

I've been where you are

When I first discovered note investing I spent several months digesting all of the YouTube videos and podcasts I could find. There was great information, but it wasn't organized in a way where it was easy for me to take action and get started. I wanted someone to just show me exactly what I needed to do step by step and let me know the things I didn't know to ask about. There were some options for mastermind groups that all cost $15,000+, which seemed way overpriced.

While I did take some training, I had to learn many lessons the hard way and build my systems from scratch. That's why I created the Note Accelerator. It will spare you all the work I had to do on my own and help you cut through the clutter and get started investing in notes quickly.

About this cohort

  • When exactly does it meet?

    Mondays and Thursdays at 6pm ET (5pm CT, 4pm MT, 3pm PT), October 12 through November 19. Sessions are scheduled for an hour and often run to ninety minutes, and all of them are recorded.

  • Are the AI tools finished?

    No. They work, I use them every week, and they have rough edges. That is what early access means. If you would rather wait for a finished product, this is not the cohort for you.

  • What does beta testing mean for me?

    You get the tools first, and you get a say in what they become. Use them on your own deals during the six weeks, and when something works badly, say so on the call and it changes by the next one. There is a short debrief on the last night. Nothing you share about your own deals goes anywhere.

  • What about Note Launchpad 2.0?

    Everyone in this cohort gets it when it is released, included in your enrollment. If you own Note Launchpad and are not joining the cohort, you will be able to upgrade at a reduced price when it comes out.

FAQ

  • Do I need prior investing experience?

    Having prior real estate investing experience will give you a leg up, but its not required. When I started in notes I only had experience with stocks and options.

  • How much money will it cost to start investing in notes?

    Ideally you should have at least $20K in funds to deploy. Most people start (like I did) by setting up a self-directed IRA, and then transferring some funds to it from an existing retirement account.

  • What if I need help after the program ends?

    I'm always available for short calls and to answer emails. As an alumni, you'll also have access to special alumni-only calls where I share industry updates, and new sources, and you'll have an opportunity to ask questions.

  • What if I need additional support?

    You'll have access to the alumni calls, or you can always drop me an email. I'm here to make sure my students are successful.

  • Why invest in notes?

    Notes are a great alternative investment that can provide you with higher returns than the long-term stock market average, but with much lower volatility and downside protection because they are collateralized by property.

  • Who is this program for?

    This program is for people who are either ready to begin investing in notes and want to accelerate their progress, and existing note investing who want to scale up and expand.

  • Is there a community I can connect with between calls?

    Yes. You'll get to know the others in your cohort on the live calls, and you'll have opportunities to network with other program alumni.

  • What if I only want to work 1:1 with Dan?

    Private mentorships are available. For more information reach out to Dan at [email protected].

  • What if I’m not ready to start now?

    It's best to take the program when you are ready to begin investing and put the knowledge to work. But we are currently in a note cycle with an abundance of deals, and the price of the program will increase over time, so there is no better time to get started than now.

Tired of overviews of note investing?

Surface level information on notes is everywhere. This program is for people who want to go out and do it.

There is endless content out there that provides a 30,000 foot view of note investing. You probably already know that you can be the bank, and that notes are a way to get away from tenants and fixing toilets. In the Note Accelerator, you'll learn the exact steps you need to take to find, screen, price, close, and operate notes. You'll also receive the deal analyzers and spreadsheets you'll need, and understand realistic returns and timelines.
