#77 Bill Tan: The Time Flow of Money with The Teachers Teacher

March 29, 2021

“I always recommend people get as long a payoff time they possibly can with the lowest payment because you can always add principal to every payment to pay it down faster if that’s what your goal is.” -Bill Tan

 

Today I am interviewing one of my favorite people and educators, Bill Tan. I met Bill Tan years ago when I was first starting my FIBI Pasadena meeting. I consider him a mentor, dear friend and a pioneer in the transactional and note investing side of real estate. Bill has been investing in real estate for over 30 years. He currently is the president of the Los Angeles Investor Association also known as LAREIA. He is a former real estate broker and in 2012 received the Industry Achievement Award for being a master broker in the note business. He speaks nationally and locally at many different meetings, conferences and conventions. He has presented at my meeting many times over the years and is a highly noted educator and creative thinker. 

Bill Tan: Began investing in real estate after he realized the value of his expertise working at a computer programming company. He started by obtaining his first rental out of state. While he was an LA Deputy Probation Officer, he was immersing himself into real estate on the side and began note investing. For 15+ years Bill was known as the note guy as he developed a creative way at handling difficult deals. He teaches the Financial Calculator class which occurs annually and the next one will be May 2021.
