Based on two decades of experience, I've identified the 11 most common mistakes, and I'm here to show you how to sidestep them and unlock true note investing success.The 11 Biggest Mistakes:This episode isn't about bashing anyone; it's about empowering you with the knowledge to avoid costly errors and maximize your returns. Here are the 11 mistakes to avoid:-Only Bidding Based on Bank Balance: Don't let your available funds limit your bidding. Explore multiple funding options and bid aggressively.-Not Marketing for Private Money: Actively seek private money lenders. Don't wait for the "perfect" deal; start marketing before you have a deal secured.-Not Building an Email Database: Develop an email list of contacts and investors to stay top-of-mind and consistently promote deals.-Only Bidding on One Asset: Bid on multiple properties to increase your chances of acceptance.-Making Ridiculously Low Ball Bids: Don't undervalue assets; find a balance between aggressive and reasonable offers.-Only Targeting Your Local Market: Expand beyond geographical limitations and explore deals across a wider region.-Focusing Only on "Fast" Foreclosures: Diversify your portfolio to include a range of note types, including performing notes with strong cash flow.-Using Only One Exit Strategy: Develop multiple exit strategies (foreclosure, modification, etc.) to handle unexpected situations.-Marketing to Bad Leads: Don't waste time or money on leads that are unlikely to yield success. Target banks, lenders and build your own qualified list.-Starting as a Wholesaler: Don't jump into wholesaling without a strong marketing strategy and funding in place. -Relying on a Single Lead Source: Diversify your lead sources to avoid being limited by a single vendor.Avoid These Mistakes and Unlock Your Potential:By learning from these mistakes, you can position yourself for greater success in the note investing world.

Howdy, partners! Scott Carson here, ready to dive into the exciting world of Texas foreclosures. Finding distressed assets in the Lone Star State can be a real treasure hunt, but with the right tools, it can be a profitable adventure (and maybe even more fun than wrangling a stubborn longhorn).Texas is famously lender-friendly; fast foreclosures are common. This is a double-edged sword. While it's great for lenders, it means that the competition for those deals can be fierce! The banks know about fast turnarounds, and that drives up prices for those quick deals.That's why I often look outside Texas to buy notes—90% of my note investments are from other states. But when I do find a great Texas opportunity, the speed and velocity of capital make it worth the higher cost. Plus, you can often get a deal completed in as little as 21 days—no need to wait six or 12 months.This means you have to be faster than a speeding bullet. You'll be able to use your funds to complete another deal quickly—which is like winning the lottery, except instead of lottery tickets, you buy notes and close deals.So how do you compete? You need information that beats the competition. Here are five tips on using the Roddy List, the powerful Texas foreclosure tool that helps you to uncover amazing deals.Target Harris County: More foreclosures happen here than anywhere else in Texas. More foreclosures mean more opportunities for you, even if it means spending a lot of time filtering your results.Go Beyond Postcards: Forget the postcard campaigns. Use the Roddy List to identify lenders directly, get their whole list, and get right to the source. Direct communication is always the quickest way to complete a deal. It's like cutting out the middleman, and saving you time and effort.Commercial Opportunities: This list also unlocks commercial foreclosures— a six-month commitment—but the higher-valued assets can be incredibly lucrative. The six-month commitment ensures quality deals. This is where you'll find those hidden jewels.Leverage the Data: The Roddy List gives you so much information: property details, loan info, contact information, and more. The email addresses are worth their weight in gold! Imagine having a 66% email success rate—which is what the presenter explains as being typical.Focus on the Mortgagor: Once you've got the list, use it to filter out the big banks and LLCs. Those are generally a lot more difficult to work with and will result in more wasted time.Using the Roddy list is a shortcut to your success. Instead of randomly sending out postcards, you're going after the lenders directly. SIGN UP FOR THE RODDY LIST HERE!The Roddy List gives you a head start by giving you access to crucial information and the edge you need to be a successful Texas investor. The list is updated monthly. You can even find out if properties have been previously listed, making it easier to spot those distressed assets ripe for negotiation!Happy hunting, y'all! Until next time... remember, a little bit of hustle can go a long way.Watch the original VIDEO HERE!Book a call with SCOTT HERE!Love the show?

Find Non-Performing Notes (NPNs) in 2025: The Note Guy's Insider SecretsHappy New Year, deal-seekers! Scott Carson, aka The Note Guy, started 2025 with an explosive Note Night in America episode, revealing his top strategies for finding lucrative non-performing notes (NPNs). Forget the spoon-fed deals; Scott's strategies empower you to proactively hunt for hidden gems and build a thriving note investing business. He's been doing it for over two decades and has the proof!This isn't your grandma's note investing approach. Scott's not just sharing theories; he's divulging the precise methods he uses to find and secure high-yield NPNs. He stresses the importance of choosing a niche (residential vs. commercial, performing vs. non-performing), defining your "buy box" (criteria for ideal notes), and mastering the art of marketing.Scott's Top Strategies for Unearthing NPNs:Tap into Foreclosure Lists: This is the bedrock of Scott's strategy. Instead of relying solely on online marketplaces, he dives deep into county records and leverages specialized foreclosure list providers. He stresses that this often leads to underpriced gems that haven't even hit the open market yet. Remember, the earlier you find out about a deal, the better your negotiating power!Direct Lender Outreach: Stop wasting time on generic online searches. Scott advocates for building relationships directly with lenders. Using LinkedIn, RocketReach (to uncover contact emails), and his own proactive outreach, he consistently secures exclusive deals. This is about building relationships, not just sending cold emails.Leverage LinkedIn and Referrals: Scott uses LinkedIn like a well-oiled machine. His profile isn't just a digital business card; it's a finely tuned lead-generating engine. He actively shares content that showcases his expertise, attracts attention, and builds his network. He then uses these connections for referrals, resulting in a pipeline of promising deals.Utilize Powerful Online Tools: Scott isn't shy about using technology to his advantage. He highlights the power of CredIQ (for detailed commercial property data) and CREXi (to uncover owner-financed deals). These tools are invaluable for maximizing due diligence and securing a competitive edge.Develop a Marketing Strategy: This isn't a one-time effort. It's a constant process that involves engaging with various platforms and refining your approach. This might include regular email blasts to your network, attending relevant industry events, and participating in online forums. Remember, consistent marketing is key to success!Humor and Practical Advice:Scott's insights are practical and sprinkled with humor—especially when he shares tales of his own successes, mistakes, and some of his unique strategies, emphasizing the value of persistence and the importance of working smart rather than just working hard.His humorous take on lowball offers serves as a reminder that respectful relationship-building can lead to more lucrative results than aggressive tactics. He warns against the pitfalls of relying on generic online platforms and stresses the need to define your target market and focus on specific niches.Scott's message is clear: Finding the best NPNs isn't about luck; it's about strategy, persistence, and leveraging the right tools and techniques. Don't waste your time chasing every deal that comes along. Use his tips to narrow your search, focus your efforts, and start building the lucrative note investing business you've always dreamed of.Watch the original VIDEO HERE!Book a call with SCOTT HERE!Love the show?

In today's digital age, a strong online presence is crucial for real estate investors. But with so many social media platforms vying for your attention, where should you focus your efforts? Today's podcast features Anthony Jones, a LinkedIn expert with over 20 years of experience, who shares his insights on leveraging LinkedIn for real estate success. He's not just talking about posting random updates; he's sharing strategies for building a powerful personal brand and generating consistent deal flow.Anthony's journey started unexpectedly in the non-profit world, where he discovered the power of LinkedIn for fundraising. But he quickly realized its potential for business growth, transforming it into a primary lead generation tool. He jokingly refers to his initial LinkedIn experience as "learning by doing," a testament to the power of experimentation and the iterative process of building a successful online presence.Anthony's advice focuses on using LinkedIn for relationship-building, brand building, and consistent engagement, rather than just for cold outreach or sales pitches. Here are five key takeaways from his insights:Professionalism Trumps Gimmicks: Forget the flashy videos and dance moves. On LinkedIn, a professional approach resonates best. Focus on providing valuable content and engaging authentically with your network.Master Short-Form Video: Short videos are hugely effective for gaining visibility on LinkedIn. Using AI tools can streamline the process, making content creation easier and more efficient. This also helps to cut through the noise of the everyday feed.Go Live Regularly: LinkedIn Live streams are a powerful tool for building relationships and generating leads. Use a co-host to keep things flowing smoothly, and don't forget to repurpose the content into shorter video clips for your feed.Leverage LinkedIn Newsletters: Newsletters can significantly expand your reach. Make sure your first newsletter is compelling and well-written, maximizing LinkedIn's automatic promotion to your contacts.Optimize Your Profile: Craft a compelling “About” section that focuses on your ideal client's pain points and includes a clear call to action. Also, make sure your profile picture and header image are up-to-date and visually appealing.Anthony's expertise extends beyond simply using LinkedIn; he provides coaching and resources for those seeking to build their personal brands, create content, and leverage LinkedIn effectively. He recently launched the Brandwagon Club, an online community dedicated to helping real estate professionals master LinkedIn. Remember, building a strong personal brand takes time and effort, but the rewards are worth it. It's not just about closing deals; it's about building long-term relationships and establishing yourself as a trusted expert in your field.You can connect with Anthony Jones on LinkedIn and through his Brandwagon Club. Remember, building a successful real estate business involves more than just finding deals. It also requires strategic marketing, consistent engagement, and a commitment to building your personal brand.

Wholesaling notes can be a lucrative strategy for real estate investors, offering a path to quick profits and building valuable experience. But, like any business venture, it requires knowledge, strategy, and a dash of good old-fashioned hustle. Today's podcast dives into the thirteen critical questions you should always ask yourself before diving into a note wholesaling deal. Skipping these steps could mean losing time, money and potentially your sanity (which, as any seasoned entrepreneur knows, is a precious resource).Think of it this way: you wouldn't walk into a high-stakes poker game without knowing the rules, would you? Similarly, approaching note wholesaling without a solid understanding of the deal can lead to costly mistakes. To avoid that, let's go through the thirteen questions that you should always ask yourself before buying a note:Know Your Pricing: Before you even consider sending out offers, you should know your pricing strategy and ideal profit margins. A buyer who can't confidently state a fair market price is setting themselves up for failure. Don't be that guy (or gal).Determine Who's in Control: Who really controls the deal? If the note information comes from a friend-of-a-friend, you likely aren't the one in control. A deal where you are directly involved with the seller gives you the most control and reduces potential headaches.Understand the Deal: Make sure the deal itself is actually profitable. You should confidently understand the asset's value, potential cash flow, and potential profit margins in a range of scenarios (e.g. successful re-performance versus foreclosure). A deal that isn't profitable for you isn't a deal at all.Determine Who Are The Best Buyers: Knowing your target buyers ensures effective marketing efforts. Understanding their needs will help you find the perfect buyer for your notes. Are you going after passive investors or aggressive flippers? This will define your marketing strategy and timing.Timing is Everything: Negotiating a deal requires understanding timelines. Consider funding deadlines, due diligence periods, and seller motivations when determining whether the deal is right for you.The remaining eight questions cover equally important aspects: Are you direct to the seller or working with another broker? What is the overall profit margin? What are the pros and cons? Do you have a buyer's list (and are you using it properly)? How are you marketing the deal? Where are your buyers located? And, finally, would you actually buy the deal and what's stopping you? If you can't answer this last question, move on. Your time is precious.Remember, note wholesaling is a numbers game—but the numbers need to be accurate. By asking these 13 key questions, you'll significantly increase your chances of finding profitable deals and avoiding costly mistakes. It's a process that requires constant education, attention to detail, and the willingness to learn from both your successes and your mistakes.

The year's winding down faster than a foreclosure auction in Texas! We're knee-deep in holiday cheer (and maybe a few too many pumpkin spice lattes), but let's not let the holiday spirit distract us from setting ourselves up for a wildly successful 2025. This week, I'm sharing my end-of-year checklist to make sure you're not caught napping when the new year rolls around.Let's be honest, sometimes planning for the future feels about as fun as filing your taxes (and about as relaxing as a root canal). But if you take a little time now to prepare, you'll thank yourself later when your business is thriving. Think of it as pre-gaming for your next financial victory — you wouldn't show up to a major real estate deal unprepared, would you?Here's my action plan – a mix of strategic moves and tactical tweaks to keep your business running smoothly. I've broken it down into ten tasks that should be done, no questions asked:Max Out Your IRA: Think of this as putting some serious money in the bank before January 1st. Yes, I know, taxes. But this helps you hit those investment goals a little sooner.Network, Network, Network: Yes, it's the same tired advice, but it still works. Connect with asset managers, IRA investors, and fellow real estate peeps before they hit the ground running in the new year. Don't let holiday cookies and eggnog keep you from closing those deals.Update Your Online Presence: This means your website, your LinkedIn profile, basically everything that represents you in the digital world. You're basically upgrading your online storefront; let's make sure it's optimized and visually appealing to attract potential clients.Start Planning for OPM (Other People's Money): You have a head-start now to start securing funding for your next ventures. That means mapping out potential funding sources, whether that's through IRA investors or other avenues.Contact Asset Managers: Start reaching out to asset managers now. They often unload assets at year's end, providing you with incredible opportunities.The rest of my checklist involves reviewing past year's goals, updating your marketing calendar, refining your pitch decks, reviewing expenses, and, finally, celebrating your wins.This isn't just about hitting numbers; it's about building a solid foundation for continued growth. Just like building a strong real estate portfolio requires planning, patience, and the right approach, building a thriving business necessitates consistent review and optimization.Remember, this isn't some theoretical exercise. We're talking about real-world strategies. Taking these steps now will save you time, stress, and maybe even a few headaches in the new year.The new year is just around the corner; take control of your success by putting in the work today. I can't wait to see what you all accomplish in the coming year. Until next time, happy investing!Watch the original VIDEO HERE!Book a call with SCOTT HERE!Love the show?

Understanding Fees: The Key to SuccessThe intricate world of mortgage note investing offers a compelling alternative to traditional investments. However, navigating the path to success requires a clear understanding of the associated fees. These fees can significantly impact your overall returns, so being prepared is crucial.1. Due Diligence Fees: Your Investment InsuranceBefore diving headfirst into a note purchase, thorough due diligence is essential. Due diligence fees cover the costs of investigating the quality and performance of the mortgage note. This includes verifying the borrower's financial health, analyzing the property's value, and assessing the overall risk profile of the investment. Think of due diligence fees as an insurance policy, protecting you from potential pitfalls down the road.2. Closing Costs: Securing Your OwnershipOnce you've decided to move forward with a note purchase, closing costs come into play. These fees ensure a seamless transfer of ownership and protect both buyers and sellers.

Brokerage Fees: Partnering with ExpertiseBrokerage fees come into play if you decide to utilize the services of a broker to find and purchase mortgage notes. Mortgage note brokers are experts in the market, leveraging their knowledge and connections to source investment opportunities.

Would it surprise you that there is a 90% failure rate of people failing to take action after attending an investment workshop or conference? Less than 10% of people take action! All that time, energy, and money spent on learning something only to do nothing. That's like going to school to be a doctor only to just work at 7-Eleven instead. Why is that?My opinion is that educators are great at teaching the nuts and bolts of a topic but horrible on delivering actions and marketing that will help their students achieve success. Or they hold out on the "secret sauce" as a way to limit deal flow or try and sell coaching that doesn't pay off. If you know me, I'm determined to help my students close deals as I am a believer that there is plenty of deal flow to go around IF you'll take action. But taking action is only one step in the process!So tonight on Note Night in America, I'll break down the 5 Tips for Success as a Note Investor. I'll share how you can overcome your fear or failure to take action to help you find success as a note investor!

If you are a fan of movies and the Marvel Universe then you've probably seen the previews (or seen the movie) of the newest volume of the Guardians of the Galaxy. I've enjoyed this trilogy immensely and the underlying stories and writing have a lot of similarities to being a note and real estate investor.Finding success in anything takes a team of individuals and vendors to help you find success.
