In this episode of the Real Estate Notes Show, hosts Dave Putz (JKP Holdings) and Nathan Turner (Earnest Investing) sit down with veteran investor William Tingle (26+ years in the trenches) to bridge the gap between seller finance and note buying. From vocabulary clashes to court-tested strategies, William breaks down why he buys Subject-To, sells on contract for deed (not wraps), and how he engineers cash flow without predatory tactics. If you create notes, buy notes, or want safer, scalable deals, this one’s a masterclass.

• 🧠 Terms decoded: Seller finance vs. owner finance, UPB, wraps vs. CFD—and why it matters.

• 🧱 Risk-proofing: Keep part of the down payment in reserves; plan for judges, feelings, and facts.

• 🧮 Deal math: Cash flow targets, interest-rate strategy, and the crucial Plan B (rent test).

• 🧰 Operations: Radio + foreclosure door-knocking, Dodd-Frank screening, family-first buyer avatar.

• 🧯 Pitfalls to avoid: Lease-option myths, underwater “appreciation plays,” sloppy collateral.

On this episode of the Real Estate Notes Show, hosts Dave Putz (JKP Holdings) and Nathan Turner (Earnest Investing) sit down with Vaughn Bethell, who moved from wholesaling to building compliant, cash-flowing seller-financed notes—while helping families become homeowners. He breaks down exactly how he finds properties, underwrites borrowers, and structures notes that hold value (and stand up in court).

✨ Key Takeaways

• 🧭 Vaughn’s “Pathway to Homeownership” playbook: find → underwrite → service → chase the refi

• 📊 Deal box: ≥ $50k equity spread, 2% rate spread over cost of capital, $500+/mo cash flow

• 💸 Typical terms: 10–12% interest, 30-year amortization, 15–20% down, P&I near market rent

• ⚖️ Compliance that protects note value: ATR/RMLO, third-party servicing, escrow for T&I

• 🚫 Common killers: interest-only to owner-occ, short balloons, DIY servicing, sloppy files

• 🌎 Demand engine: community-driven marketing (Facebook groups), trust-first outreach to Latino buyers

Hard-money veteran Scott Brown joins Dave Putz and Nathan Turner to unpack the fast-moving world of short-term (6- to 18-month) real-estate notes—the bridge financing that keeps flippers and small developers moving while giving note buyers equity-like returns with note-level security.

• Why short-term?

• Deal filter in three bullets:

  1. Fixed‐cost rehabs only (no ground-up builds).

  2. Max 70 % ARV, verified by local broker price opinions, not borrower wish-lists.

  3. Exit must exist—listings, refi term sheets, or seasoned rental comps in hand.

• Risk killers Scott won’t skip

• Pricing today (June 2025)

• Secondary-market sweet spot

• Two red flags

• Action step: download Scott’s one-page Draw Inspection Checklist
