Dan’s journey to a better life

  • Meet Dan Deppen – Focused on making note investing more accessible to investors who want to create side incomes and grow their retirement savings.
  • Dan started his career as a mechanical engineer in the aerospace industry and later got his MBA from the University of Colorado. He was a product manager at large companies like Oracle and Amazon AWS and also some small startups.
  • Along the way, he was always interested in investing, starting with stocks at the age of 19 and then moving to options trading. There were also some individual entrepreneurship efforts along the way, which had mixed results. The goal was always to create financial independence and build a business that was his, not subject to corporate whims.
  • After investing through the dot com blowup and the financial crisis, it was apparent how quickly the stock market can drop and how little control an individual has in such a large market. He wanted to move some of his net worth into real estate, but even back then, cap rates on rentals in the Denver area were challenging.
  • Then in seeking alternative real estate investments, Dan discovered notes. After a few months of getting oriented, he dove in. Despite paying too much for his first note and joining an expensive mastermind program that didn’t deliver, we kept going.
  • Over the past several years, Dan has scaled up his note portfolio and incorporated his lessons learned into a set of systems and processes that make note investing easier and less time-consuming than it has been for the past 40 years. Now, in addition to operating his portfolio and delivering returns for his investors, he helps new note investors get started and existing note investors become more profitable and effective.
