The Note Closers Show - The #1 Podcast for Note Investing

Are you tired of going to endless real estate networking events, taking notes, and then coming home only to let your notes gather dust? In this episode of Money Mondays, Scott Carson—"The Note Guy"—delivers a much-needed wake-up call to the real estate investing community. This isn't your standard, generic motivational speech; it is a tactical, hard-hitting guide on moving from a chronic "I’ll get to it later" planner to a high-earning, active investor who closes deals.

Scott shares his proven "Hello Postcard" marketing strategy designed to instantly break through the social media noise, capture attention at local REIA clubs, and quietly attract private funding partners without a hard sell. Plus, we wrap up the episode with a live Q&A session with student Tom, addressing the absolute legalities of calling a balloon payment on a performing note and the absolute best online database for finding elite, state-specific foreclosure attorneys. Stop being a secret agent in your real estate business—it’s time to take action, launch your marketing, and build a real runway to financial freedom!

• The Brutal Truth About the 5% Action-Takers: Why over 95% of real estate seminar attendees never implement what they learn, and how to position yourself in the elite top tier that actually takes action.
• The "Unemployment" Marketing Mindset: If you got laid off today, you would immediately update your resume, blast LinkedIn, and notify your entire network. Scott breaks down why you must treat your note investing business with that exact same urgency.
• Busting the "Secret Agent" Investor Curse: Why real estate investors fail because they hide their business in private Facebook groups instead of proudly broadcasting their active real estate ventures to their primary, warm networks.
• The "Hello Postcard" Template Strategy: Scott's exact blueprint for a visual 20-line text email and printable Canva postcard that commands an 800% higher click-through rate on social platforms.
• The Indirect Referral Ask Technique: How to leverage social proof and simple property case studies to attract million-dollar private capital partners without ever sounding desperate or salesy.
• The Legal Truth About Balloon Payments: A critical legal breakdown answering whether you can legally call a loan due early on a performing 30-year mortgage borrower.
• The Infinite ROI Formula: Why raising private money beats using your own capital every single time, and how to construct a cash-flow spread for a true infinite rate of return.
• Sourcing Top-Tier Legal representation: Scott reveals his go-to industry directory, LegalLeague100.com, for bypassing traditional channels to secure elite mortgage and foreclosure attorneys nationwide.

Stop sitting on the sidelines while other investors lock up the best distressed asset tapes in the country! It’s time to start marketing your message properly.

Are you sitting on a small-balance self-directed IRA, Solo 401(k), or ESA and wondering how to get true institutional yields without risking your shirt? Welcome back to our 50 Note Deals in 50 Days series, where we pull back the curtain on real, actionable mortgage tapes trading right now. Today, we are analyzing Deal #7—a spectacular little cash-flow "base hit" located down in Brownsville, Texas.

In this episode, Scott Carson ("The Note Guy") breaks down why he considers this asset a premier starter deal for alternative asset investors. While the institutional tape labels this as a Reperforming Loan (RPL), the borrowers have actually been paying completely on time for over 12 straight months, effectively turning it into a stable, performing asset with clear pride of ownership. With an unbelievable equity cushion and a tiny remaining balance, this case study is the perfect blueprint for building tax-sheltered wealth.

• The Power of the Micro-Balance Note: Why small-balance notes are the ultimate tool for accelerating low-balance self-directed IRAs and ESAs without needing to partner or raise outside capital.
• The Insulation of Massive Equity: A look at the eye-popping math of a $14,000 payoff balance against a $153,000 automated valuation model (AVM)—leaving you with an investment-to-value (ITV) of under 9%.
• Pride of Ownership Due Diligence: Scott's breakdown of the visual due diligence, including spotting a well-maintained yard and active driveway presence, signaling highly motivated borrowers determined to stay in their home.
• Unpacking the Yield Mechanics: How buying this first lien at 80 cents on the dollar ($11,020 rounded to $12,000 with a sourcing fee) converts a $290.37 monthly P&I payment into a massive 29% gross year-one ROI.
• The 55-Month Horizon: What to expect as you ride out the final 55 months of this modified 2007 loan, projecting a net 25% ROI even after factoring in ongoing third-party servicing fees.
• The Fast-Track Foreclosure Backstop: Why the South Texas market provides an incredible safety net for note investors, offering rapid legal timelines if a borrower ever defaults.
• Self-Directed IRA Checkbook Setup: How to bypass traditional custodians like Schwab or Fidelity using true checkbook-control accounts, featuring Scott’s preferred vendor framework with Safeguard Advisors.

Stop letting your investment accounts sit idle in volatile markets. If you are ready to make an offer on this Brownsville asset or want to review the underlying tape, email Scott directly at [email protected] or book a live strategy session at TalkWithScottCarson.com.

🚀 Vacant and Vulnerable: Deep Dive Into a 13-Year Non-Performing Note in Killeen, TX

Are you ready to see what a real institutional distressed debt deal looks like from the inside out? Welcome back to our 50 Note Deals in 50 Days series, where we peel back the layers on active, off-market mortgage tapes. Today, we are analyzing Deal #6—a non-performing residential note sitting right in our own backyard in Killeen, Texas.

In this episode, Scott Carson ("The Note Guy") takes you on a literal drive-by and deep-dive due diligence trip an hour north of Austin. This property has been sitting completely vacant with 13 years of non-payment! Scott breaks down the raw numbers, the heavy interior rehab realities, the chain of custody through multiple investment funds, and a unique joint-venture partnership opportunity directly with the asset managers. Whether you are a note investor or a local fix-and-flipper, this case study is packed with actionable due diligence frameworks.

• The Property & Market Background: An inside look at Killeen, Texas (home to Fort Cavazos/Fort Hood), its military-driven economic cycles, and why sub-$250k entry-level housing is highly demanded compared to Austin's $425k average.
• The Shocking Deal Anatomy: How an initial 15-year mortgage originated in 1998 resulted in a 13-year streak of absolute delinquency after the original borrowers passed away without heirs.
• Scrubbing the Financial Numbers: A detailed breakdown of the $71,000 payoff legal balance, which includes over $21,000 in advanced back taxes and municipal weed liens against an estimated $148,000 AVM.
• The ROI Math (Reperforming vs. Foreclosure): Why trying to modify this note yields an uninspiring 7.7% ROI, whereas pushing the active foreclosure to the upcoming auction block presents a potential $13,000 profit and an 88% annualized ROI.
• The Visual Due Diligence Reality Check: Why Scott physically drives assets or orders Broker Price Opinions (BPOs). Get the realistic scope of a $70,000+ structural rehab requiring a new roof, total stud-down sheetrock replacement, and wood rot remediation.
• Front-End Bidding Secrets: How to properly structure indicative offers using online data before spending money to pull full collateral files, assignment chains, or title reports.
• The Fund Partnership Opportunity: How you can joint-venture directly with the hedge fund on this asset (and others) where they provide the note financing while you manage the physical rehab and split profits.

Don't sit on the sidelines while institutional tapes are trading! If you are a rehabber or a fix-and-flipper ready to partner with the fund on this Killeen asset, email Scott directly at [email protected] or book a strategy session at TalkWithScottCarson.com.

Welcome back to our 50 Deals in 50 Days series! In this episode, note investing expert Scott Carson takes us to one of the fastest-growing regions in the country: Kyle, Texas, located in booming Hays County just south of Austin. If you think note investing requires massive capital, this distressed asset case study will flip the script. Discover how you can leverage a heavily discounted, non-performing note on a high-value acre of land to lock in massive equity protection and exponential returns.

• The High-Equity Asset Blueprint: This property features a 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom attached double-wide mobile home sitting on a spacious 1.02-acre lot. While conservatively valued at a tax assessor price of $123,000, the legal payoff balance on the note is a mere $31,000—representing an incredible 25% investment-to-value ratio.
• Current Loan Status & Foreclosure Timeline: The owner-occupied property was modified in 2022 to a 40-year term with a low monthly P&I payment of $270.82. However, the borrower has fallen a full year behind, and formal foreclosure proceedings were initiated in February, positioning a potential auction within the next 60 days.
• The Low-Cost Investment Breakdown: Investors can acquire this first-lien note from the hedge fund at 80% of the legal balance ($24,800) plus a $1,000 transaction fee, putting your total out-of-pocket entry cost at just $25,800.
• Multi-Tranche Exit Strategies: Learn the various ways to win with this deal. If the borrower reinstates with a lump sum, your first-year ROI can skyrocket to 25%. If it goes to auction and sells at the legal balance, you net a quick $5,200 profit—yielding over a 100% annualized ROI due to the rapid 60-day turnaround.
• Creative Workout Options: If the note doesn't sell at auction, you take back a high-value acre of Texas land as an REO property. From there, you can pursue a deed-in-lieu, offer cash-for-keys, or clear the asset to rent it out for an estimated $1,500 to $1,700 a month.

Don't let profitable, asset-backed deals pass you by while your money sits idle. Whether you want to purchase this non-performing note outright, come on board as a funding partner, or completely master the note business, now is the time to strike. Reach out to Scott directly at [email protected] or lock in a strategic call at TalkWithScottCarson.com. To learn the exact mechanics of buying discounted notes safely, reserve your $99 seat for the upcoming virtual workshop on August 29th & 30th at NoteBuyingForDummies.com. Take action today, and we'll see you at the top!

Are you looking for a real estate investment strategy that lets you step in as the bank, bypass the heavy competition, and capture massive equity for pennies on the dollar? Welcome back to our 50 Deals in 50 Days series! Host Scott Carson dives deep into a unique, low-balance nonperforming note opportunity sitting right in the heart of Fort Worth, Texas.

Unlike typical cash-flowing performing notes, this distressed asset features a jaw-dropping dynamic: a rock-bottom legal balance on a property that is absolutely bursting with equity. If you want to maximize your returns using your IRA, savings, or investment capital, this episode reveals exactly how a $23,000 entry point could yield anywhere from a fast 21% ROI to a massive six-figure profit.

• The Anatomy of the Deal: A look into the 3-bedroom, 1-bath property in Tarrant County built in 1953, featuring an incredibly low legal balance of just $28,000 against a fair market value of $195,000–$205,000.
• The "Rehab the Borrower" Strategy: How a simple loan reinstatement or double-payment structure could instantly skyrocket your ROI to 23% or even 46%.
• Navigating Texas Foreclosure Laws: Capitalizing on the fastest foreclosure timelines in the country to secure a quick cash return or take the property back as an REO.
• The Power of Cash for Keys & Deeds in Lieu: Creative exit strategies to avoid court, obtain the deed directly from the borrowers, and take total control of the real estate.
• Turnkey Rental & Owner Financing Options: Analyzing market rents ($1,700/mo) and leaseback structures to create long-term cash flow.
• Partnering and Scaling up: How to utilize small-balance IRAs or partner directly with Scott to fund and flip these high-margin deals.
• 
  

The true beauty of note investing is that you aren't locked into a single path. With this Fort Worth asset, you can play the role of the benevolent bank or the savvy real estate liquidator. If the vacant property heads to auction, a third-party bidder might pay off the debt, handing you a quick $5,000 profit in roughly 60 days (an annualized return of over 120%).

Whether you are an experienced investor or completely new to the space, small-balance nonperforming notes offer an unparalleled way to outmaneuver traditional foreclosure buyers. You get to skip the crowded courthouse steps and control the asset months before it ever hits the public market.

Welcome back to another high-value episode of The Note Closers Show Podcast! I am your host, Scott Carson from We Close Notes, and I am incredibly excited to kick off a brand-new, massive series for you guys.

We are officially launching our 50 Deals in 50 Days marathon! Over the next few weeks, I’m going to be breaking down fifty actual, real-world note deals to show you exactly how the note investing business works, how to spot incredible opportunities, and—most importantly—how to put your money to work for double-digit returns.

We are starting things off with a bang in the great state of Texas! In this episode, we take a deep dive into a fantastic reperforming first-lien loan located in Beaumont, Texas. If you are looking to secure a massive double-digit return using a small cash balance or a small self-directed IRA, this might just be the textbook deal you have been waiting for. This note is part of a larger tape from a hedge fund looking to move assets, and the numbers on this one are absolutely beautiful.

Here are the specific property details and financials for this Beaumont, Texas note:

• The Property: A charming, owner-occupied single-family home featuring 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and 1,470 square feet of living space sitting on a spacious quarter-acre lot.
• Pride of Ownership: Current Google Maps photos from the last two years show a highly maintained property with clean landscaping, potted plants, and a beautifully mowed lawn.
• Fair Market Value (FMV): Conservatively estimated around $110,000 based on recent Zillow estimates.
• The Payoff Balance: Only $20,400. This means the remaining loan balance represents a whopping 18% Loan-to-Value (LTV), leaving a massive amount of equity protection for you as the investor.
• The Origination: The mortgage was originally written back in 2008 with a current interest rate of 4.99%.
• Monthly Cash Flow: The monthly Principal & Interest (P&I) payment is $234.72, handled securely via a professional third-party servicing company. Taxes and insurance are fully escrowed and up to date.

This small-balance note is the perfect vehicle to supercharge a smaller retirement account. While traditional custodians like Charles Schwab or AG Edwards won't allow this, you can easily partner with self-directed IRA custodians like Equity Trust, Pensco, or Mid Atlantic. (We also partner with Safeguard Advisors to help you get this set up seamlessly!)

If you want to move past the sidelines and learn exactly how to find, fund, flip, and create cash flow from performing and nonperforming notes just like this one, you need to get educated.

Join us for our upcoming Virtual Note Buying Workshop happening August 29th – 30th! This is a jam-packed, two-day event spanning all day Saturday and Sunday where we pull back the curtain on our entire real estate note business system.

Are you letting the fear of the unknown hold you back from making profitable real estate deals? In this explosive episode of the Monday Money Coaching Call, host Scott Carson breaks down exactly why traditional real estate investors get trapped by analysis paralysis when transitioning into the note investing world. If you are waiting for a perfect interior inspection, a standard title closing, or traditional after-repair value (ARV) metrics before pulling the trigger on a non-performing loan—you are doing it all wrong! Tune in as we dissect a live Texas mortgage note tape, answer real-time student questions, and reveal how you can achieve an incredible 15% to 28% annualized return by embracing the unknown and leveraging a massive cushion of equity.

• Bidding Blindly and Safely: Why you don't need an interior inspection or a 5% earnest money deposit to put an offer on a vacant or non-performing note. If you hit an unexpected roadblock during due diligence, you can always utilize your "get out of jail free card" to renegotiate or walk away completely.
• The ARV Myth in Note Buying: Discover why After Repair Value (ARV) doesn't apply on the front end of note investing and how to shift your focus to the loan's true legal balance and foreclosure timelines instead.
• Navigating the Statute of Limitations: How a state's legal timeline limits how many years of back-payments a lender can actually collect, and how to spot overinflated legal balances on older defaults before you bid.
• Mastering the Mortgage Tape Terms: A deep dive into complex terms that often intimidate beginners—including Deferred Balances (extending the term to the back-end), Corporate Advances (lenders stepping in to pay delinquent taxes or forced-place insurance), and the difference between UPB and legal balance.
• Spotting "Emotional Equity": Learn how to visually evaluate a property from the exterior (such as neat landscaping or well-kept cars) to identify a motivated borrower who is highly likely to enter a creative workout agreement to save their home.
• Analyzing a Live Deal: A step-by-step breakdown of an actual re-performing note in Beaumont, Texas. Scott calculates the cash-on-cash yield and shows how a borrower making 16 payments over 12 months flags a massive "cha-ching" opportunity for passive investors.

Stop overcomplicating your investment strategies with complex jargon and AI-generated text that scares off private money partners. Keep it simple, look at the equity, and remember that when you buy the note, even a foreclosure can lead to a bigger payday down the road. The best way to learn note investing is by actively pulling the trigger and making offers. Take a look at your mortgage tapes, look past the dirt, and let's get rocking and rolling!

Welcome back to another powerful episode! In this session, host Scott Carson breaks down the massive wave of distressed real estate note inventory hitting the market right now—especially across the Lone Star State. If you've been feeling stuck, chasing over-hyped multifamily deals, or getting burned by short-term rental market shifts, it's time to get razor-focused on what actually drives true cash flow. From upcoming Texas shadow inventory roadshows to breaking past the mental blocks of raising capital, Scott shares the exact steps you need to take action, leverage your network, and dominate the note space this summer.

• Texas Distressed Asset Updates: Scott discusses managing a pool of 54 notes in Texas, including a mix of performing assets, nonperforming assets, reverse mortgages going to foreclosure, and REOs spanning DFW, Houston, San Antonio, and the Valley.

• The Condensed 2-Day Note Class: Learn about the recent experiment of condensing the traditional 3-day virtual note buying workshop into a packed 2-day Saturday and Sunday schedule running from 9 AM to 7 PM, yielding highly positive feedback.

• Behind-the-Scenes Rehab Insights: Get a status update on a Georgetown, Texas deal entering its final phases, highlighting rising labor costs compared to last year and how handling minor cosmetic fixes yourself can protect your profit margins.

• The Power of Student Success: Celebrating coaching student Andy Espinero, who is closing his first deal from the Oklahoma roadshow with a projected minimum profit margin of $40,000 to $50,000.

• Upcoming Shadow Inventory Roadshows: Details on a planned physical roadshow through key Texas markets (Houston, San Antonio, DFW, Austin, and the Valley) to drive by, walk, and analyze 6 to 15 assets per market, spanning performing, nonperforming, REOs, and owner-financed notes.

• The Critical Importance of Niche Focus: Why Scott strictly targets institutional first liens instead of diversifying into risky multifamily syndications or volatile Airbnb short-term rentals.

• Overcoming the Fear of Raising Capital: A direct wake-up call to stop acting like a "secret agent," step out of your comfort zone, get away from relying solely on AI websites or social media "dumpster fires," and start networking live at local REIA clubs.

• First Liens vs. Second Liens & Proper Servicing: Clarifying misconceptions around legal risks in bankruptcy courts, emphasizing that using licensed servicing companies and attorneys keeps investors safe.

Stop sitting on the sidelines letting fear—False Evidence Appearing Real—hold you back from taking action. The market is constantly moving, and you need to be learning from someone actively closing deals in today's environment. Whether you want to participate passively with your IRA or step up as an active investor to build long-term cash flow, reach out to Scott directly.
