Owner Financing & Note Investing Podcast with Dawn Rickabaugh

My dear Robin in Texas, who has been a loyal and generous follower for years, comes on to talk in depth about her struggles to deal with bad tenants, rehab following eviction, and a potential exit using seller financing to sell the mobile on land to someone who needs a home. This is great for helping real estate and note investors think through the various options, get their head on straight, and choose what options are best... going in with eyes wide open. It's not fun to get blindsided down the road because you went into owner financing only having half-baked understanding of the short and long term considerations. http://linktr.ee/DawnRickabaugh

One of the most rewarding things in February's Property & Paper LIVE Q&A training was talking to someone in CA whose sister really needed some help figuring out what to do after the Altadena fire took her home, insurance turning out to be insufficient, and her "cash cow" rental in Ojai now feeling like a noose around her neck. We talk about some ideas about how she turn that around and position herself for maximum benefit, whether she sold for cash, did a lease option, an owner carry, perhaps selling "subject to" her existing financing. Lots of people needing to figure out how to get out of tight spots these days. What to do is very dependent upon that person's individual situation. That's why any advice on how to handle real estate or loan / note problems needs to include a dash of 'life coaching'. https://notequeen.samcart.com/products/deep-dive

Yes, out of every owner financed transaction, a new little note 'baby' is born. Whether it is healthy and strong, or frail and sickly is dependent upon the genetics, the DNA, of the note and the circumstances under which it was conceived. I guess it's nature vs nurture ;-) Linktr.ee/DawnRickabaugh NoteQueen.com Apply for Mentorship  

Another great session where we talk about seller financing and how it connects real estate investing and note investing. All of you make it what it is!! We are ramping up to be ready for whatever 2025 brings. Creative real estate strategies, especially with knowledge of the secondary market for notes (the note business) will make the difference between those who barely survive and those who thrive.

What would be more painful? Theoretically missing out on some (maybe phantom?) upside? Or losing the equity you have on the table right now? Even if you wait for prices to go higher, and they do, that will mean everything else will cost a lot more, too, so will you really be that much more ahead? If you don't feel ready to weather a financial storm, are unsure of your W2 job, etc, it could be time to take some profits off the table. Seller financing could make sense as part of your strategy, but holding some cash could also be a smart idea. Ideally, you'd be diversified out of the dollar into some precious metals and Bitcoin and other crypto blockchain projects. https://notequeen.com https://PropertyAndPaper.com

Real estate sellers, landlords and those who have no equity and just want out from under their payments, this class is for you. Many high equity sellers and tired landlords are de-risking and using the installment sale (IRC 453), seller financing to: sell quickly and easily for the highest possible price defer most of their capital gains (use the 1031 exchange to defer all capital gains) earn interest on the IRS' money have great income for retirement (often much more than you were netting in rent) leave a great inheritance for heirs and beneficiaries access to liquidity... done properly and intentionally, you can sell all or part of the payment stream for cash for little to no discount Most sellers who offer owner financing have NO IDEA that anyone would want to buy their note. Their real estate agent or broker doesn't tell them, their title company doesn't tell them, their attorney doesn't tell them, their financial advisor doesn't tell them. They find out several weeks after the closing when they start getting postcards and letters in the mail offering to buy their note. But by then, the value of their note is baked in. The terms can't be modified to make the note more valuable. This often costs the seller (who traded real estate for a promissory note) tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands of dollars. Only someone who regularly buys notes for their own portfolio is qualified to help you and your other trusted advisors create a note that is right for you short term and long term.

This episode is RICH with important information you need to know to survive the note business. Sellers who offer owner financing are far less regulated, especially if you only do a small number of seller carry transactions. But for those buying notes, there's more to know that you might imagine!

Jeff brings up a good point here... attorneys, title companies and real estate brokers might know how to walk you through the mechanics of a seller financed real estate transaction, but unless they actively buy mortgage notes for their own portfolio, they don't know how to help you put the deal together in a way that makes it the most valuable... they have NO IDEA what your note would sell for on the secondary note business market. Loan originators and licensed servicers also can have insight as to specific compliance issues, but first you have to know if seller financing is even for you. First step: based upon your goals, objectives and unique personal circumstances, I will help you decide if owner financing is for you, if your plan is solid, or will end up costing you thousands. If you might need money sooner than later, we can set you up to sell your note for minimum discount while still helping you keep your own private pension and passive retirement income. Second step: have an attorney in your state provide boiler plate documents. Then I will review it and make sure the numbers are right, and make sure special clauses and terms are inserted that will give you every advantage. Third step: double check for compliance with the interest rate you are charging, late fees, and other things that make your note water tight so you'll never find yourself standing in front of a judge, or facing a steep fine.

In this session of Property & Paper Live, Ken brings up a pending foreclosure. He really wants the property, and is considering bidding at the Trustee Sale. There is a 2nd that is in danger of being completely wiped off. He could offer to buy the 2nd at a discount and foreclose from that position to greatly increase his opening bid and almost guarantee he'd get the property with the opening bid. But then he'd have to start the foreclosure timeline over again. Maybe if he'd thought of that earlier on, it would have been a good option. We also talk with others on the call and end with sharing a way to get help submitting owner financing offers so you can buy your home or investment property without asking a bank for a loan!

Why not ask for zero down? I'm going to quit being so squeamish.

Tracy Z is a veteran of the note industry and she brings all her years of experience to talk about what she sees happening in the market, and how she helps others learn about the note business and get started investing in notes. We both love partials and wraps! It was fun for me to hear some of her history, as I came to the industry in the mid 90's, and she was a seasoned professional by then. I always wondered what happened to Metropolitan. They dominated back in the day, but had rolled up shop before I was actively participating in the note business. Thanks, Tracy! Great to rub shoulders with like-minded people in this space. I highly recommend anyone new to note investing check out what she has to offer over at http://noteinvestor.com   My best Dawn  http://notequeen.com

Lots of great conversation made possible by Svetlana, who brought us her scenario. She moved across the country to fulfull her dream of investing in notes. That's some grit and determination, folks! When you offer seller financing, you can get much more for your property. Learn more over at NoteQueen.com or BoomerRealEstateRescue.com

Positioning a portfolio for more cash flow before retirement kicks in. Looking at getting some property free and clear, and converting one or two into notes.

I am reminded of a story that Gordon Moss told me years ago... Derisking and being very conservative allowed him to sail through the great financial crash of 2008, whilst his counterparts lost everything during the blood bath. We don't know what's coming, so position accordingly. If real estate prices drop by 30%, or if rents go down while taxes and insurance keep going up would stress you out, it's time to consider taking some profits off the table. You may want to convert some of your real estate into notes and be the lender on your properties instead.

Earlier this month we had a series of solar flares during a few days of high geomagnetic storms. If you haven't already prepared yourself to be out of power for up to a month, this is your wake up call. Can you feed your family, filter water for them, keep them warm and safe?

It is generally not possible, but in this episode, I will show you how I helped reverse engineer a proposed real estate transaction so that the seller, a rehabber, could accept an owner financing offer and walk away with the equivalent of a cash sale.

Are there other ways to put deals together that get us around some of the dicey scenarios with real estate and the mortgage industry? We cover a lot of ground in this episode, but an interesting conversation came up about the idea of doing a lease option instead of making a loan. What do you think? In this episode: 01:12 - Invest in yourself. 01:59 - Stay connected to Dawn. 03:02 - Note Deal follow-up: Win-win solution? 04:46 - Foreclosure snag - On title with unwanted property! 09:35 - Disguised mortgage strategy concerns. 19:22 - Asset climate: Dicey? 24:51 - Lender vs. landlord debate. 25:30 - Banks recovering unloaned money. 27:33 - Are mom and pop investors safe carrying paper on their properties? 30:09 - Why isn't owner financing more common? 32:27 - Choosing a good servicing company. 38:55 - Avoid note investing pitfalls - Trust Deed vs. Mortgage states 40:50 - Judicial truncation for vacant properties? 41:41 - Illinois contract for deed - convert to owner financing? 51:35 - Closing reminders for seller financing.  

With higher mortgage interest rates, taking over bank loans written at 3% and 4% are all the rage. Everywhere you look investors are getting under contract with subject to seller financing terms, and they flip them to unsuspecting buyers for tens of thousands of dollars. What they fail to realize is that there is 1) a high chance of acceleration (triggering the 'due on sale'), 2) a high chance of getting sued down the road, and 3) a high chance of setting buyers up for financial loss and disappointment. There is only one way to leverage existing institutional financing 100% legally and in a way the guarantees that the loan won't get 'called' or accelerated. I interview Scott Moyes who has the only Title Holding Trust system I would ever use. As investors, let's get deals done, solve problems and make money without creating unnecesssary risk for all parties to the transaction. We need to equitably balance risk and reward, and make sure it's good for everyone now, and down the road.

A new financial paradigm is being built as we speak and I want you to be ready for it. We normally talk about passive income via our property and paper (real estate and note investments), and there are equivalents in the crypto blockchain space. Did you know that Stanford just invested 7% of their endowment funds into Bitcoin? Things are changing, and changing fast. 

Sometimes you get to waltz in and be the Knight in Shining Armor in this business.
