Niche. Niche. Niche. We can’t stress this enough. One of the quintessential keys to becoming successful with your podcast is identifying and targeting your approach to a specific niche audience – and no one knows this better than Scott Carson, CEO of We Close Notes. Scott has been involved with the real estate market for over 15 years and has been an active investor since 2002. However, seemingly at the peak of his career, Scott found his life turned upside down. The cushy six-figure job that his business degree provided had been yanked out from under him and his investment property was facing foreclosure, “I went from making six figures to $2.13 an hour”. Scrambling to pick up the pieces of his life before it was too late, Scott began researching how he could capitalize an underutilized market in the industry: non-performing notes. Fast forward several books, webinars, and trying months later, and Scott was digging himself back out. Within a short interval he had built himself a short-sale negotiation company, where he stayed for a time before managing a mortgage company for several years. In 2006, however, with the onset of the market crash, Scott noticed an opportunity for growth. Capitalizing on the number of foreclosed properties, he founded Inverse Investments and dedicated himself to buying and sell notes.
