  • How to Go From Landlord to Lienlord in 2026

    Welcome to the new era of real estate investing. If you’ve been following the market lately, you know the old rules are changing. Values are shifting, mortgage defaults are ticking upward, and traditional "fix-and-flip" or rental strategies are becoming harder to scale. I’m Scott Carson from WeCloseNotes.com, and I’ve spent years helping thousands of investors transition from the headaches of physical property management to the high-yield world of note investing. In 2026, the biggest opportunity isn’t in owning the dirt—it’s in owning the debt. It’s time to stop being a landlord and start being the bank.


    5 Key Insights from the 2026 Note Investing Outlook

    • Escape the "Three Ts" of Landlording: Traditional real estate often comes with "Toilets, Trash, and Tenants". Note investors avoid these by owning the mortgage rather than the physical property, meaning you never have to deal with broken ACs or midnight repairs.
    • The Power of the Discount: One of the greatest advantages is buying notes at a significant discount from banks. For example, you might buy a $100,000 debt for $70,000, giving you immediate equity and higher yields than traditional rentals.
    • Capitalizing on Market Chaos: With mortgage defaults increasing and values dropping in some areas, banks are eager to move "non-performing" notes off their books. This creates a massive "secondary market" where savvy investors can find high-potential deals.
    • Passive Income without Property Managers: Because the borrower is responsible for the property's upkeep, taxes, and insurance, your role is purely financial. You collect the monthly principal and interest just like a major bank would.
    • Superior Position in the Market: As a note holder, you hold a superior legal position compared to a landlord. If a tenant doesn't pay a landlord, the landlord loses income; if a borrower doesn't pay a note holder, you have the right to foreclose and take the property itself, often for much less than it’s worth.


    The window of opportunity in 2026 is wide open, but it won't stay that way forever. Whether you’re a tired landlord, a frustrated flipper, or a new investor overwhelmed by the current market, note investing offers a path to truly passive wealth. Don’t let another year go by dealing with the same old headaches. It’s time to level up your strategy and start making offers that make sense in today's economy. If you’re ready to take the next step, visit NoteBuyingForDummies.com and let’s turn 2026 into your most successful year yet. Let’s go out there and kick some ass!

  • Doing A Deeper Dive Into 3,000 Nonperforming Notes

    We just held a special Saturday edition of Note Night in America, diving headfirst into a massive tape of 3,067 distressed mortgages. Yes, you read that right – three thousand opportunities across 49 states (and zero in New York, yay!). If you're ready to get past the "no dumb questions" and onto making some serious money, this recap is your golden ticket. We're talking NPLs, REOs, Subject-Tos, and everything in between – all designed to turn that distressed data into dollars.


    Here’s your no-nonsense guide to pumping up your private capital:

    • The Motherlode: 3,067 Distressed Notes Unpacked: Discover the raw data, fresh from December 31st, covering 49 states (and DC!) with top markets like Florida ("God's waiting room"), Texas, Georgia, and California. This isn't your grandma's list – it's ripe for picking!
    • Decoding Default: From 90 Days to 7 Years: We dissected the default spectrum: 597+ notes are 12+ months behind (some a mind-boggling 7 years!), alongside thousands more in the 3-6 month and 90-day default buckets. Each stage unlocks different strategic plays for savvy investors.
    • Navigating Legal Labyrinths: Gain insight into the loans' legal statuses, with 350 in bankruptcy, 2,247 in loss mitigation, 661 already in foreclosure, and a surprising 149 already flagged as REOs – these details are crucial for your due diligence.
    • Your 4-Pronged Attack Strategy: Learn Scott's battle-tested approaches:
    1. NPLs: Buying 6+ month defaulted notes at deep discounts and reperforming them.
    2. Foreclosure: Taking back assets for equity if borrowers won't play ball (especially in fast states like Texas!).
    3. REOs: Directly targeting the 149 pre-foreclosed properties for quick flips or rentals.
    4. Subject-To/Wraps: Focusing on 90-day defaults for homeowner negotiations.
    • Pricing Secrets & Due Diligence Drill: Get the formulas for making competitive offers: ~80% of Legal Balance for equity deals, ~65% of Fair Market Value for negative equity, and ~70% of AVM for REOs. Plus, crucial tips on factoring in taxes, foreclosure costs ($10k estimate!), and state-specific timelines.


    This isn't just theory, folks; it's a deep dive into actionable data with clear strategies to capitalize on the distressed real estate market in 2026. Remember, bids are due by Wednesday at noon, so there's no time to be a "wallflower" or making "lowball offers" that "homie don't play that." Don't miss out on turning these distressed notes into serious profit. Go out, take some action, and we'll see you at the top!

  • Lone Star Deals: Breaking Down Over 200 Nonperforming Notes in Texas

    As we move through 2026, the real estate landscape is shifting, and the most prepared investors are those who can pivot from the "foreclosure business" to the "performing note business." In this episode, we dive into the tactical strategies for handling a massive influx of opportunity, specifically focusing on a new tape of 200 performing notes hitting the market. While many investors get bogged down in the minutiae of a single asset, scaling to six figures requires a shift in mindset: you must learn to analyze data at scale, bid with discipline, and build a 24/7 engine that turns spreadsheets into consistent, passive cash flow.


    Key Strategies for Scaling with Performing Notes


    • The Power of the Discount: Learn the calculation behind making discounted offers—typically around 78 to 80 cents on the dollar—which creates an immediate yield boost and protective equity for the investor.


    • Bidding Without Addresses: Discover how to navigate high-level tapes where sellers "mask" addresses; you must learn to bid based on ZIP codes and AVMs (Automated Valuation Models), knowing you can adjust your bid once full due diligence begins.


    • Engineering Double-Digit Yields: The goal for performing notes is often a 16% yield on cash flow, which allows you to pay your private investors a solid 8% return while you keep the remaining spread.


    • Targeting Protective Equity: Ensure your investment is "sitting pretty" by analyzing the relationship between the purchase price and the underlying property value—aiming for assets with values of $50,000 to $100,000 or greater.


    • The Importance of Seasoning: Why we target notes with a consistent payment history, or "seasoning," to create a lower-risk profile for investors seeking reliable monthly returns.


    • Scaling through Volume: Instead of over-analyzing a single deal, the path to success involves making offers across multiple assets; increasing your volume significantly raises your chances of successful acquisitions in a competitive market.


    Conclusion

    True financial freedom in 2026 isn't about working harder on one deal; it’s about mastering the systems that allow you to bid on hundreds. By focusing on the numbers, staying disciplined with your yields, and leveraging professional third-party servicing, you can move from a "solopreneur" to a high-level asset manager. Don't wait for the "perfect" note to appear—the window of opportunity on large tapes is small. Take action, dive into the math, and start focusing on the big-money moves that will actually change your life.

  • Learn How To Find & Fund Every Deal Without Using Your Own Money with Lisa Ferris

    Good morning, afternoon, and good evening, everybody! Scott Carson here, and boy, are you in for a treat! As we roll into the New Year, many of you are resolving to dive deeper into real estate investing, but that old excuse "I don't have any money" always seems to pop up. Well, prepare to have your mind blown (and your excuses obliterated!) by today's special guest!


    We've got Lisa Ferris from Georgetown, Texas – a real estate investment legend who's been crushing it for years. She's a master of creative financing, fix & flips, short-term rentals, and leveraging private money. And the best part? She’s written a book revealing all her secrets: "How to Find and Fund Any Real Estate Deal: How to Buy Real Estate Without Using Your Own Cash or Credit." Forget the banks; Lisa proves you don't need 'em!


    Here’s what you'll learn from Lisa Ferris (and why you need her book!):

    • The "Sick and Tired of Being Sick and Tired" Origin Story: Lisa, a 20-year realtor, shares how being "broke" and presented with a "POS house" forced her to embrace creative financing. Her first deal? Wholesaling a property in three hours for $17,000 profit – and she's never looked back!
    • Ron LeGrand's Legacy & Realtor Superpowers: Lisa credits a Ron LeGrand course for igniting her creative financing journey. As a seasoned realtor, she leverages deep market knowledge (knowing which two blocks to avoid and where to buy!) to quickly run numbers and make offers, giving her a serious edge in Central Texas (Belton, Temple, Taylor, Fort Hood) – everywhere but Austin!
    • Win-Win Negotiations for Distressed Sellers: Learn Lisa's approach to seller financing: always offer a higher purchase price and sell the payment amount (never the interest rate!). She focuses on creating win-win scenarios where sellers feel heard and get flexible solutions, even for those with no equity or facing tough situations.
    • Private Money Magic: Just Ask! Lisa's secret to raising capital? Simply ask! Her first private lender was a good friend at McDonald's (true story!). She views it as offering an opportunity for investors to make their money work for them, not begging. Her deals average $200K-$300K and offer 12%+ returns, because as she says, "if you have a good deal, the money is the easiest part."
    • Why Diligence & Community Matter: Lisa uses tools like RehabValuator and creates professional reports (Canva, anyone?) to make her deals attractive. She emphasizes proactive communication with lenders (even using platforms like SiteWire for draws). Plus, she champions local networking with her Centex Dealmakers Group, bringing integrity, training, and real-world deals to Austin's real estate community.


    Lisa Ferris is living proof that you don't need deep pockets to build a thriving real estate business. Her humor, humility, and rock-solid strategies make her an inspiration. Stop making excuses and start making deals happen!


    Grab a copy of her game-changing book, "How to Find and Fund Any Real Estate Deal: How to Buy Real Estate Without Using Your Own Cash or Credit," available soon on Amazon. Connect with her on Facebook (Lisa J Ferris) or via email: [email protected]. Subscribe to the podcast, leave a five-star review, and go out and become a Dealmaker!
