Is a luxury beachfront property with massive rental income always a slam-dunk deal for a note investor? Welcome back to another episode of 50 Note Deals in 50 Days!In today's episode, real estate investor Scott Carson takes you down to sunny Galveston, Texas, to analyze a high-end, waterfront short-term rental (STR) facing foreclosure. Featured on a popular wedding show on Netflix and operating as a premier event venue and Airbnb, this three-story coastal property boasts incredible ocean views and high-ticket revenue potential. However, behind the beautiful listing photos lies a 20-month default, a listing price disconnect, and a hedge fund seller eager to offload the paper off their balance sheet.Scott walks step-by-step through the numbers, comparing property values against the debt balance, evaluating foreclosure mechanics in Texas, and revealing why lenders often prefer selling the note over acquiring an REO asset on the water.Key Topics Covered:Property Overview & High-End Asset Profiling: Examining a three-story, waterfront short-term rental and luxury wedding venue featured on Netflix.The Default Timeline: Unpacking a 20-month payment default and analyzing why the borrower listed the home for sale during the foreclosure process.Sourcing Hedge Fund Tapes: How this asset was identified out of an 86-note tape direct from a institutional seller (and 1 of only 5 Texas assets in the pool).Valuation vs. Debt Exposure: Comparing current active listing prices, comparative market analysis (CMA) data, and the actual underlying mortgage debt.Foreclosure vs. REO Risk: Why lenders prefer to sell non-performing paper to note investors rather than taking back coastal real estate and managing property operations.Texas Foreclosure Advantage: Leveraging Texas' fast non-judicial foreclosure timeline to take control of defaulted assets quickly.Bidding & Exit Strategies: Determining maximum bid thresholds, workout opportunities with existing operators, and foreclosure execution plans.Whether you're looking to acquire paper on coastal real estate or just want to see how pros evaluate complex non-performing notes, this episode provides actionable due diligence strategies you can use in your own portfolio!If you want to submit an offer, partner on deals, or have questions about distressed paper, book a call directly at talkwithscottcarson.com or email Scott at scott@weclosenotes.com.

Advertisers optimize for metrics that disguise the truth. Chester Scott, Chief Strategy Officer at Lunio, explains why ROAS—the North Star metric for most advertisers—undermines effective spend decisions across channels and campaigns. He makes the case for shifting to marginal ROAS to measure diminishing returns at the channel, platform, audience, and creative level, and reframes clicks as a fundamentally compromised leading indicator that should never drive optimization.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Up to 60% of paid clicks provide zero conversion value. Chester Scott, Chief Strategy Officer at Lunio, explains why clicks and ROAS both distort performance measurement and how they corrupt AI bidding decisions. The conversation covers the shift from ROAS to marginal ROAS as a North Star metric, isolating diminishing returns across channels, platforms, and audiences, and protecting automated bidding models from compromised leading indicators that inflate CAC.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

How should a small electrical contractor charge for service work: flat-rate pricing or time and material?In this episode, Paul Abernathy breaks down the differences between these two common pricing methods and explains how each can affect profitability, customer relationships, cash flow, and business growth.Flat-rate pricing gives the customer an agreed price before the work begins and rewards the contractor for experience and efficiency. However, it also places more risk on the contractor if the job takes longer than expected or the original scope is poorly defined.Time-and-material pricing allows the contractor to charge for the actual labor and materials required to complete the work.This can be especially valuable when troubleshooting electrical problems or working with unknown existing conditions. However, customers may become uncomfortable when they do not know the final cost, and highly experienced electricians may earn less simply because they complete the work faster.This episode explains where each pricing method works best and why many small electrical contractors may benefit from using a combination of both.Topics covered include:The fundamental difference between flat-rate and time-and-material pricing.Which party accepts the risk under each pricing method.Why time and material works well for troubleshooting and unknown conditions.How flat-rate pricing rewards training, experience, and efficiency.The dangers of underestimating flat-rate work.Why an hourly billing rate must cover more than an electrician's wages.Material markup versus gross-profit margin.Diagnostic fees and service-call charges.Time and material with a not-to-exceed authorization.Fixed pricing for predictable electrical work.Written scopes, exclusions, and change orders.The importance of tracking labor, materials, callbacks, and warranty costs.Why job costing is essential under either pricing method.How to explain pricing professionally to customers.When a contractor should consider declining a job.Paul also explains why copying another contractor's hourly rate or flat-rate price book can be dangerous. Every electrical contracting business has different labor costs, overhead, insurance expenses, productivity levels, service areas, risks, and financial goals.The customer is not merely paying for the time an electrician spends performing a task. The customer is paying for training, licensing, experience, tools, insurance, availability, testing, warranty responsibility, and a safe professional result.Whether you are preparing to start an electrical contracting business or trying to improve the profitability of an existing company, this episode will help you make better pricing decisions and understand the true value of the professional electrical services you provide.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/master-the-nec-podcast--1083733/support.Struggling with the National Electrical Code?

David Packouz is the real-life entrepreneur whose story inspired the movie War Dogs.

After receiving seven months of house arrest, David transformed one of the darkest periods of his life into the idea for BeatBuddy, a product that became a multimillion-dollar business.In this episode, we discuss:David's real-life experience behind the movie War DogsHow he entered the arms and government-contracting business at 22Winning a nearly $300 million contract to supply ammunition to AfghanistanThe truth about the Chinese ammunition scandalWhy his former business partner allegedly refused to pay him millionsHow one unpaid box supplier helped expose the operationFacing 71 fraud allegations and the possibility of decades in prisonHow Hollywood discovered the story and created War DogsWhat the movie changed, exaggerated, and left outCreating BeatBuddy while serving house arrestBuilding Singular Sound, Instafloss, and Comment CompassWhy David returned to government contracting through War Dogs AcademyHow entrepreneurs can find opportunities selling products and services to the governmentThis episode will resonate with people interested in entrepreneurship, government contracting, business partnerships, high-stakes negotiations, true crime, invention, resilience, and the real stories behind major Hollywood movies.If you enjoyed this conversation, subscribe for more long-form podcast episodes, leave a comment with your biggest takeaway, and share this episode with someone who loved War Dogs or wants to understand the real story behind it. 0:00 Intro 2:36 What War Dogs Got Right and Wrong7:15 How Hollywood Discovered David's Story10:13 Facing Decades in Prison at 2515:20 How David Entered Government Contracting24:50 Winning His First Government Contract38:31 The $300 Million Afghanistan Deal47:57 Bidding $52 Million Below the Competition50:21 How Rising Oil Prices Nearly Destroyed the Deal55:41 Discovering the Ammunition Was Chinese1:05:26 The $20,000 Mistake That Exposed Everything1:15:49 Betrayed by His Best Friend for $15 Million1:20:43 The FBI Raids AEY1:24:16 Pleading Guilty to Government Fraud1:32:47 Building BeatBuddy While Under House Arrest1:41:29 How the Story Became the Movie War Dogs1:52:22 Building Instafloss and Comment Compass1:59:19 Launching War Dogs Academy

Understanding how federal agencies and primes actually buy is the competitive edge that most small business owners never develop — and in this episode, seasoned contractor David Hernandez breaks down exactly why your certification alone will not get you in the door. If you have been chasing work without understanding the procurement chain, this conversation will reframe your entire BD approach. Know your real buyer before you pitch: The insulation subcontractor story reveals why targeting the general contractor directly was the wrong move — the mechanical sub controlled that purchase, and no amount of veteran status changed that reality Use pre-bid meetings as a positioning tool: David explains how showing up to a $30 million Army Corps deep tunnel project and signing in as SDVOSB and 8(a) signaled to every prime in the room that he was the set-aside solution they needed to meet Price your certifications into your strategy: When David bid the control building at double his standard rate, he understood the prime's pressure to meet SBA set-aside requirements — and that leverage is available to any certified small business willing to study how contracts are structured When agencies push back, know when to walk: Whether it was the Port Authority denying a compliant 51% joint venture or a Chicago tow authority twice awarding to a higher bidder, David's lesson is the same — fighting bureaucratic discretion costs more than moving on Qualifications must match execution reality: Winning a contract you cannot deliver is worse than losing the bid — Army Corps quality control, safety, and reporting requirements are nonnegotiable, and certifications do not substitute for operational readiness Subscribe and join the Federal Help Center community at federalhelpcenter.com, where contractors help contractors win.

On this episode of 83 Weeks, Eric Bischoff and Conrad Thompson are back with a no holds barred conversation covering some of the hottest topics in professional wrestling and Eric is NOT pulling any punches! Eric kicks things off by breaking down why Randy Orton represents one of the last true "old school" performers in today's business, and what sets him apart from the modern era. Then, Bischoff sounds off on the idea of wrestling tribalism and why he believes it really only exists in one place. The discussion heats up as Eric gives major props to Brock Lesnar for going out of his way to elevate rising powerhouse Oba Femi, calling it exactly what the business needs more of. Eric gets candid about "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, admitting he understands the itch to return but explains why, in his opinion, it's never going to happen. Things get controversial as Eric reacts to Ricochet's recent comments, holding nothing back with his blunt take. And in true 83 Weeks fashion, the guys close things out with a wild what if scenario what would the wrestling world look like if Tony Khan had ever gotten the chance to bid on buying WWE?
