Most investors focus on finding deals — but the real leverage is where those deals come from and who controls the flow.

In this episode, we break down the two primary sourcing paths in note investing — brokers versus direct sellers — and why mastering both (without losing control) is the difference between guessing and building a real pipeline.

🔍 What you’ll learn:

✅ Why brokers can accelerate deals early — and quietly erode margins over time

✅ How daisy chains inflate pricing and blind you to real asset risk

✅ What direct-to-seller access unlocks: pricing power, transparency, and first-look tapes

✅ Why serious sellers only work with buyers who execute — and how trust is earned

✅ How tracking tapes, sources, and closes turns sourcing into a repeatable system
