Welcome to another episode of Ask Marco on the Passive Real Estate Investing show. I appreciate you taking the time to tune in and listen to these relatively short episodes. I decided to take another handful or so of questions today. I'm getting more questions actually, which is interesting. And it might have to do with the markets, the volatility, the stock market, continuing to pull back higher interest rates, mortgage rates, maybe some uncertainty or lack of confidence about what is going on. We're living in interesting times. It's election week as you know, and there's just a lot going on. I was actually watching the markets here recently, especially over the last few days, and I couldn't believe how much movement there has been even on a daily basis. And so I'm sure that's pretty unnerving for many people. It is for me, and I'm not even in the stock market and, and that might be a reason why I'm getting a lot more inquiries or questions about our promissory notes with Norada Capital.

And since I'm getting a lot of questions about that, maybe I'll just take 30 seconds to tell you about that or a minute. And if you're interested in learning more, you can go to the website at noradacapital.com and it'll give you a much more detailed breakdown of information. And then you can talk to my team if it's something of interest. But real quick, these promissory notes are not real estate related. I'm gonna take that right off the table because a lot of people wonder, you know, what, what is the fund built on? And it's really a large portfolio of businesses. There's over 16 companies in the portfolio. These are about half e-commerce based businesses that are growing profitable and literally growing month after month, quarter after quarter. And there are other assets in the fund as well. So it's a large portfolio of essentially viable businesses that are growing that have a very large market cap.

And the revenues and cash flows from those businesses are what give us the ability to issue or pay 12 to 15% per year interest on these promissory notes. And this is paid monthly. So if you're looking for passive income or predictably passive income, meaning that it's paid at the beginning of every month, direct deposit into your bank account to the tune of 12 to 15% per year, then you might want to take a look at these notes and now grant it, It's not real estate, it's not a hard asset, it's a paper asset. But if you're looking for something to generate income or cash flow, something that exceeds the rate of inflation and something that can supplement what you already have or, or the portfolio you've built, and especially if you have a self-directed retirement account of any kind, promissory notes are ideal for self-directed retirement accounts, whether IRAs or 401ks.

Anyway, again, for more information you can head over to noradacapital.com, NORADAcapital.com and you can learn more about it there.

All right, so let's get to some questions here. The first question, interesting one, actually, all the questions today are pretty interesting. They're all over the place. So the first question comes in from Aaron. His email literally just said, turnkey availability. And I thought, well, maybe it was a turnkey question, but it's not. He says, Marco, first off, I have really enjoyed listening to your podcast. While I haven't listened to all of them, I have started at the beginning while I eagerly await new episodes, I'll do my best to keep up. I've been traveling a lot, so I, I'm trying to crank them out every week. Anyway, he says I appreciate the nuts and bolts discussions that the books don't mention.

I don't need motivation, I'm already sold. I need the details. You provide that. Thank you. You're welcome Aaron. So he says, I am a new investor.
