Justin Bogard

Justin got his start in the real estate industry the way many people do in today’s world - by
watching HGTV and finding inspiration in the fix and flip shows. In those early days, he worked
as a wholesaler, fix-n-flipper, and landlord, but it soon became clear that dealing with the
headache of tenants, turnover, and contractors just wasn’t for him.
Continuing to pursue his passion for real estate, yet realizing the HGTV path of sweat equity
wasn’t as glamorous as it appeared, Justin began exploring the world of real estate notes. He
soon realized that this was his way forward and that all those years as a flipper were just
preparation for his dream career as a real estate note investor.
Justin’s company, American Note Buyers, educates both new and seasoned investors alike in
cutting-edge methods for producing cash flow from properties without actually having to own
them. In essence, they help investors escape the stress of being landlords and teach them how
to become the bank instead. He has helped many people find the financial freedom they crave
through passive income streams that generate real wealth for their families.
Besides being the Co-Founder and Director of Operations at American Note Buyers, Justin is the
host of the “Be The Bank”, podcast that shares insights and practical knowledge of owning a
real estate note. He was also a contributing author to the Amazon #1 bestseller, Real Estate
Without Renters. In 2018, he started a real estate note broadcast that now has thousands of
followers and is streamed live every month on the American Note Buyers YouTube Channel.
Justin is a sought-after speaker and presenter at local, regional, and national real estate events
and conferences. He has won case study competitions for performing loans and was also Note
Investor of the Year in 2020. He is continually looking for ways to increase his scope of
influence, all with the hope of helping as many people as he can create stable financial futures
for themselves through the power of savvy real estate investing.
