    Mar 3 2026
    In this episode of From Adversity to Abundance, host Jamie Bateman shares a presentation from the 8th Annual Cash Flow Expo, where he breaks down one of the most overlooked steps in real estate investing: identifying your investor avatar. Too often, investors jump straight into mortgage note investing, rental properties, or passive deals without first asking a critical question—what type of investor am I? Skipping this step can lead to frustration, misaligned strategies, and unnecessary risk.Drawing from his experience at Labrador Lending, Jamie outlines the three primary investor avatars they serve and explains how to determine which approach best fits your goals, risk tolerance, time availability, and desire for control. Whether you focus on notes, rentals, commercial real estate, or passive income opportunities, the principles in this episode will help you align your strategy with who you are—so you can make clearer, wiser investment decisions.Guest Introduction: Jamie BatemanJamie Bateman is a mortgage note investor, fund manager, and founder of Labrador Lending. He is also the host of From Adversity to Abundance, where he helps real estate investors build mental fitness and make informed investment decisions.
