From Fix & Flip to Note Investing: Nathan Turner's Real Estate Journey

In this episode of Real Estate Rock Stars, host Justin Nimergood sits down with Nathan Turner — known across North America as the Canadian Note Guy — to break down the world of mortgage note investing and why it's one of the most recession-resilient strategies in real estate today.
