What if you could invest in real estate without dealing with a single tenant, toilet, or repair call? In this episode of Million Ways to Millions, host Micah Haworth sits down with Dale Brose, a digital marketer turned real estate note investor, to break down one of the most overlooked and misunderstood wealth building strategies in the game: mortgage note investing.
Dale started with small debt instruments in the 90s, stepped away for years to build his digital marketing agency, and came back in 2020 to build a real estate note portfolio generating 12 to 15% annualized returns completely hands off. In this episode, he pulls back the curtain on exactly how it works and how you can get started with as little as 10K.
In this episode you will learn:
- What mortgage note investing is and how it has been around since ancient Mesopotamia
- How to find motivated note sellers and buy notes at a discount to drive higher yields
- Why big banks like Wells Fargo originate loans but never actually hold them
- How the MBS market and the 10 year treasury actually determine your mortgage rate
- What selling a partial note means and how it creates instant liquidity without giving up your asset
- How to use a self-directed IRA to buy notes completely hands off and tax advantaged
- Why unimproved land notes are one of the safest and highest-yielding note investments available
- How seller financing and the secondary note market can help tired landlords exit without a massive capital gains hit
- What hypothecation is and how note investors tap equity without refinancing
- Why foreclosure laws vary by state and what to know before buying notes across the country
Whether you are a seasoned real estate investor looking for a truly passive income stream, a tired landlord wanting out without a tax disaster, or a beginner looking to put your IRA to work, this episode will change the way you think about building wealth through real estate.
