Housing Expert  @m3_melody  from Housing Wire joins this episode of the Real Estate Notes Show. They dive deep into one of the strangest, most unpredictable housing environments we’ve seen in years. Melody is an industry expert who pulls back the curtain on the conflicting data, rising risks, and hidden market shifts that are catching both lenders and investors off guard.Melody exposes the quiet forces distorting today’s housing numbers, from unreported forbearance deferrals to skyrocketing insurance costs, false rental demand, and the surge of off-MLS distressed sales. She explains why delinquencies appear contradictory, why non-bank lenders are quietly vulnerable, and why local boots-on-the-ground intelligence matters more now than any national headline.Most importantly: Melody breaks down where the cracks are forming, which markets are softening first, and what note investors and seller-finance creators must prepare for in the next 12 months.To obtain this week's Real Estate Notes Show guest Melody Wright's information, use this link https://bit.ly/4rrlZAM

In this episode, Dave and Nathan pull back the curtain on AI for note investors and seller finance creators. Fresh off the IMN Mortgage AI conference, Nathan shares how big mortgage companies are already using AI for underwriting, intake, call centers, and document review, while Dave walks through real, everyday ways he uses tools like ChatGPT in his own note business. From building amortization schedules and pricing notes at different yields, to summarizing 150-page collateral files, drafting social posts, and even brainstorming legal strategies for repeat squatters in Chicago, you’ll see exactly how AI can become your on-call analyst, copywriter, and research assistant.

🔑 What you will master in this episode:

🎯 Practical AI use cases for note people: underwriting support, amortization schedules, note pricing, market forecasts, and more.

🚫 Prompt mistakes to avoid: why vague questions get junk answers, and how to structure prompts so AI responds like a real note expert.

📈 Workflow ideas you can steal: using AI to review collateral files, summarize YouTube trainings, draft legal-aware questions for your attorney, and power up your marketing.

🧠 Jobs vs. Skynet: what Nathan heard at Mortgage AI about jobs, automation, and why AI is more likely to be your edge than your replacement.

📲 Voice + mobile tips: how to treat AI like a “phone-a-friend” expert you can talk to in the car and pick up right where you left off.

Whether you’re AI-curious or still “Googling everything,” this episode shows you how to start using AI for 1% of your workflow today so you don’t get left behind tomorrow.

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
