Chris Seveney Reveals How to Invest in Real Estate by Owning Notes Not Homes! - #236

In this episode of The Real Estate Reserve Podcast, Jason and Ian sit down with note investing expert Chris Seveney to unpack a powerful yet often overlooked strategy in real estate: buying mortgage notes instead of properties.

Chris shares how he transitioned from traditional real estate into the world of note investing, where he buys the debt secured by real estate rather than the real estate itself. He breaks down how the note buying process works—from indicative bids and due diligence to working with borrowers on non-performing notes—and how his firm helps investors earn passive income without becoming landlords.

The conversation also dives into current market conditions, rising defaults, DSCR loan risks, and why now might be an ideal time to explore note investing. Chris explains how banks handle losses, the impact of fractional reserve lending, and where the biggest opportunities are in today’s market. Plus, he shares some of the books that have shaped his entrepreneurial journey.

Whether you're a real estate investor looking to diversify or just curious about the mechanics behind the mortgage industry, this episode is packed with insights you won’t want to miss.
