Which states do you want to buy in over the next five years? More importantly, which states should you avoid like the plague if you are looking to buy (or sell) real estate between now and 2030? Most of these states won't be surprised as BankRate.com released an article listing the seven worst states to buy property according to realtors in those states.
READ THE ARTICLE HERE!
We even took it a step further and focused on the Top 10 worst states to buy or invest in. It goes beyond the foreclosure timeframe, cost of living, and property taxes on this list. Property insurance, job growth, homelessness, and crime rates also played a big part in our picks for the worst. Of course, there are parts and places to each state that we love, but we just don't love the idea of owning property there!

I know that many new investors struggle to do their first deal. They overthink the process and will often struggle with "overanalysis paralysis" when it comes to pulling the trigger. But you will learn more about investing in a niche by doing your first deal than you would if you took every class on the subject. The same is for note investing, but we have a solution for you! This episode is designed to help you pull the trigger!
We've got a list of 12, small-balance, performing, first liens available for sale from a client of ours. All of these notes are well seasoned, performing, and are backed by property values way above the payoff balances. The best thing about this is that you can step into some cash flow and earn a decent return without breaking the bank. With balances ranging from $3K to $37K, you can cherry-pick this list with most selling for under $25K! This is a great opportunity to help you put your small balance SDIRA, ESA, or HSA to work today!
DOWNLOAD THE LIST OF NOTES HEREAll of these loans are serviced with Madison Management and have clean collateral files! There are ZERO broker fees as we are just helping our friend move these notes so that they can raise some capital for another deal (If you wanted to pick up the whole tape, you could do so for $175K).

If you are looking for performing or nonperforming notes in Texas, you will love this episode! Scott Carson shares how to get a list of licensed mortgage brokers and servicing companies doing business in Texas directly from the state Savings & Mortgage Lending department. This list includes company names, contact person, email, and phone numbers for the person in charge of licensing which gives you a warm lead into talking with the companies about who handles their distressed note sales.
Scott discusses his three-step approach to contacting these leads through email, phone, and LinkedIn and why drip marketing to this list monthly is worth your time to find note deals for your own portfolio.

I just got back from spending some time in Minnesota with my Mom to attend a celebration of the life of my aunt and uncle who recently passed. The minister shared a poem called "The Dash" about how we celebrate the lives of people (or the dash) between their births and deaths.
It's been over 30 years since I visited the state where I was born and the amount of memories created and shared amongst my extended family of uncles, aunts, cousins, and family friends had me thinking a lot about the poem and what it represents for us as entrepreneurs and real estate investors.

Is Graceland really facing a May foreclosure auction or is it a case of mortgage fraud?
USA Today released an article talking about how a private Memphis lender is trying to foreclose on Elvis home by presenting a deed of trust for $3.8 Million that was supposedly lent to Lisa Marie back in 2018. With her death last year, the company is claiming that the loan was not paid back and filed a foreclosure action in Shelby County (Memphis), TN to take back the iconic landmark.
READ THE FULL STORY AT https://snip.ly/graceland
Elvis granddaughter and heir of Graceland, Riley Keogh, is fighting the sale claiming that the deed of trust is fraud and that the money was never borrowed.
What screams fraud (and the same would be said of any private lender) is that there is no lien or deed filed on the Shelby County Recorder office. This would be the first thing that any private lender would do to protect their position.
Naussany Investments and Private Lending in Missouri is the company filing the foreclosure action that was delayed by Keogh's legal team.
We dive deeper into the story and share how we researched this story in the full episode.
