Good morning, afternoon, and good evening, investor! Scott Carson here, ready to tackle the burning questions in the note investing world. I went straight to the source – Google's Gemini AI – and asked for the 20 most frequently asked questions by note investors. And let me tell you, AI did not disappoint! Since so many new folks want to jump into the "sexy side of real estate," I'm breaking down these essential FAQs to help you act like the bank, not the pawn.If you've ever wondered how much cash you really need, whether you own the property (spoiler: you don't!), or how to avoid common pitfalls, this episode is your no-nonsense guide. As I always say, the pen is mightier than the hammer, and these insights are your ultimate toolkit for 2026.Here's your AI-powered cheat sheet to note investing:Note Investing 101: The Basics & Beyond: What's a real estate note? (It's an IOU, baby!). What's the difference between performing, non-performing, and "scratch & dent" loans? And seriously, how much money do you actually need to start? (Hint: it can be less than you think!).Yields, Values & Spreads (No, Not Butter): Unpack what constitutes a "good yield" for performing (9-12%!) and non-performing notes (20%+!). Learn about Investment-to-Value (ITV), Unpaid Principal Balance (UPB), and how to calculate your true return so you're not paying too much for the paper.Due Diligence Decoded (Without Owning the House!): Master the art of checking property condition (BPOs!), title (O&E reports!), and borrower payment history (servicing notes!). Plus, the absolute non-negotiables: collateral files and an unbroken chain of assignments – essential to avoid a "dud" deal.Operations & Management: Who Ya Gonna Call? (Not the Borrower!): Understand why you never call the borrower yourself (it's illegal, buddy!). Learn how servicers manage payments, what happens if a borrower stops paying (loan modifications, cash for keys, foreclosure!), and who's really on the hook for property taxes.Funding Your Future: IRAs & Beyond: Discover how Self-Directed IRAs are a game-changer for note investors, allowing tax-free or deferred growth. Learn about "cash for keys" as a smart exit strategy to avoid costly foreclosures, and why a clear plan beats wishful thinking every time.Whether you're a seasoned pro or just dipping your toes into the "paper investing" world, these 20 FAQs are fundamental. Don't be that person who learns the hard way because they didn't ask. Take action, get educated, and start acting like the bank. Because in the note world, being smart with your debt can make you a whole lot of dough!Want to learn more?

Pressure on highly-indebted companies will intensify as interest rates remain elevated, according to Seix Investment Advisors. “We have a lot of credit zombies — B3/B minus or CCC rated credits — that still have very weak interest coverage, generating zero free cash flow,” George Goudelias, chief investment officer of the firm’s leveraged finance platform, tells Bloomberg News’ James Crombie and Bloomberg Intelligence’s Jean-Yves Coupin in this episode of the Credit Edge podcast. “There are mine fields to avoid in this market,” he adds. They also discuss the impact of private credit on public leveraged finance, why Seix is bearish on technology and how rising “sell America” sentiment could affect corporate debt.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Emmaline Aliff of Equifax sits down with Matt Orlando, Chief Experience Officer at Informative Research, to unpack one of the most talked-about developments in mortgage lending: FICO's new Mortgage Direct Licensing program and what it could mean for lenders, credit providers, and borrowers.In this episode:What is FICO's Mortgage Direct Licensing program?FICO's Mortgage Direct Licensing program allows lenders and technology providers to license FICO scores directly, rather than receiving them solely through traditional credit reporting agencies. The program is still new, and its full impact on the mortgage ecosystem has yet to be determined.How could FICO Direct Licensing impact mortgage lenders?Lenders are still evaluating how the program will affect their overall cost of credit each month and whether it will increase expenses across the loan lifecycle.What risks does Direct Licensing introduce into the mortgage market?The program introduces risk across multiple layers of the ecosystem. Credit reporting agencies may now be asked to generate scores—something they have not historically done. Lenders must assess the reliability of these scores, while the broader mortgage market and borrowers face uncertainty as scoring responsibility shifts to a more fragmented landscape.How might borrowers be affected by these changes?Borrowers could ultimately bear higher costs if credit expenses rise for lenders. There is also risk tied to accuracy and consistency as new parties begin generating credit scores. The long-term borrower impact remains unclear.

People who are in default on their federal student loans could start seeing their wages garnished in the new year.

Also, the U.S. Mint pressed the final batch of pennies last month. We examine the penny's 232-year run.

The Department of Education is ending the SAVE student loan repayment plan, a program introduced under President Joe Biden to ease repayment and provide debt relief. Republicans argue the plan was illegal and misleading, while critics warn Black borrowers — who already carry significantly higher student debt — will be hit hardest by the change.Subscribe to our newsletter to stay informed with the latest news from a leading Black-owned & controlled media company: https://aurn.com/newsletter Learn more about your ad choices.

Big changes are in store for the federal student loan program. President Trump’s tax and spending bill, which was signed into law last summer, ends a supplemental loan for graduate students and caps the amount they can borrow from the government. It also allows students in professional programs, such as law and medicine, to borrow more than students in other graduate programs, such as nursing or social work. The bill reduces students’ loan repayment options from seven to two. It also phases out the Biden-era SAVE plan, which was the most flexible income-driven repayment option. Jennifer Bell is the director of financial aid at Portland State University. Susan Bakewell-Sachs is the vice president of nursing affairs and dean of the School of Nursing at Oregon Health & Science University. They join us to discuss what the changes could mean for students who rely on loans, particularly to get advanced degrees.

Credit Card Interest Rate Caps Would Harm Low-Income Borrowers: Colleague Veronique de Rugy criticizes proposals by Senators Sanders and Ocasio-Cortez to cap credit card interest rates at 10 percent, arguing price controls will force companies to reduce risk, ultimately denying credit to the low-income borrowers the bill aims to protect SP 1954.

Hey, investors! Scott Carson here, and I've got a juicy deal that's hotter than a Texas summer! If your lazy assets (and maybe your self-directed IRA) are sitting idle, this is your chance to put them to work on a prime piece of Georgetown, Texas real estate. This isn't some long-haul, snail-paced investment – we're talking a six-month or less turnaround, with conservative numbers figuring in a year!This beauty is one of 48 reverse mortgages we snagged from a hedge fund. The borrower's already passed, HUD's got it cleaned out, and we're looking at a clean, well-maintained property needing just a little lipstick and a fresh coat of paint. Texas foreclosures are fast, and we've got the team ready to rock and roll. This is a potential 10% (or more!) return on your money, secured with a first lien.Here's the breakdown on this Georgetown Goldmine:The Deceased HUD Gem: A clean, 3-bed, 2-bath, 1,348 sq ft home in Georgetown's hot 78628 ZIP code. Borrower deceased, heirs not fighting, property in good shape (interior inspection available!), needs cosmetic updates only – no structural nightmares.The Numbers Make Sense: Current legal balance: $185K. Conservative Fair Market Value: $297K. We're picking up the note for just $170K. Add back taxes and foreclosure costs, and we need $176K in funding. That's over $112K in built-in equity!Exit Strategy 1: Quick Auction Cash! With a 90-day Texas foreclosure and a $191K legal balance (after taxes), a quick auction sale is likely. You get a guaranteed 10% return on your $176K, paid out even if it sells faster than 90 days. We're talking $4,400+ interest in under three months!Exit Strategy 2: REO Flip for Bigger Bucks! If it doesn't sell at auction (our preferred scenario!), we take it back as an REO. An additional $20K for rehab (total $196K invested) for light cosmetic work. Potential net profit of $52K+ with ROI up to 20% if we're doing a one-year prepayment penalty.Due Diligence & Timeline: Full collateral file, realtor CMAs, title update, HUD interior inspection, and exterior video are all available. We're aiming for mid-December funding to kick off a February foreclosure and a March/June sale. Fast, efficient, and profitable!This isn't just another podcast episode; it's a real-time opportunity. We're looking for funding in December, so if you've got an IRA or some passive investment cash ($176K) burning a hole in your pocket, and you want 10% or more, let's talk!For the full due diligence package, comps, and all the nitty-gritty details, reach out directly!

Portfolio Manager at Animoca Brands and former Chief Investment Officer at Node Capital, Shan Han joins Jeremy Au to trace his path from Hong Kong trading to fintech and Web3, discuss how early crypto grew from ideology, and explain why tokenizing assets like student loans can unlock education across Southeast Asia. They explore how customer urgency validates real problems, how global liquidity reshapes emerging markets, and how regulation and permissioned systems will define the future of crypto. Shan also reflects on leaving hedge funds to build companies that solve urgent needs. 06:00 First startup taught real founder lessons: Shan overbuilt the product and underinvested in speaking to customers, which he now sees as his biggest early mistake. 09:00 ICO wave created opportunity and chaos: Node Capital traded markets and backed early tokens as crypto cycles repeated with massive upside and sharp crashes. 10:00 SME lending proved a painkiller need: Borrowers called him for loans before a product even existed, showing that real demand always leads. 14:00 Tokenized student loans expand access: Global liquidity meets local underwriting so students in the Philippines and Indonesia receive financing they previously could not access. 14:55 Benefits emerge for investors, lenders, and borrowers: On-chain capital finds high-quality yield, local lenders scale faster, and students get more affordable financing. 17:15 Blockchain reshapes student loan markets: Unified liquidity, alternative credit models, and on-chain verification make lending systems more efficient and more inclusive. 22:00 Every major asset will become tokenized: Stablecoins lead the way, followed by T Bills and real-world assets as liquidity and tradability improve. 29:00 Courage means leaving comfort for impact: Shan left a hedge fund he loved to build companies because solving real problems mattered more than staying safe.

What does the Reserve Bank's Official Cash Rate (OCR) mean for your mortgage, savings, and investment decisions? Nigel Grant (Head of Wealth Products, ASB) is joined by Chris Tennent-Brown (Senior Economist, ASB) and Manu Batra (Head of Home Lending Products, ASB) to unpack the latest OCR decision and what it means for Kiwi borrowers and savers. They break down why mortgage rates don't always move in step with the OCR, and how to balance lending and savings strategies as market conditions evolve.
For fix and flip entrepreneurs of single-family homes, it's hard to get financing from traditional lenders. This lack of access to capital creates a market for private lenders who have the flexibility and access to capital. It's a win-win for borrowers and lenders. Borrowers get capital to fund their businesses; lenders make a healthy return for making these kinds of loans. Investors who invest in hard money funds also do well, earning sometimes as high as high teen returns. Matt Medrano, Co-founder and CRO of Dynamo Capital, has a growing fund of hard money loans, mostly in Wichita, and is expanding to other Midwest cities.
It's the ultimate financial nightmare. Kristin Collier, a young student in Minnesota, woke up one morning to discover that her mother had taken out $200,000 in Kristin's name. Collier tells this story in What Debt Demands, a book about America's student debt crisis that is both personal and political. Collier, who proudly defines herself as a “democratic socialist”, believes that student debt is a form of modern American serfdom. So what to do? She argues for massive debt cancellation, free public higher education funded by taxes on stock trades, and restoring bankruptcy protections that existed before 2005. But with the average American now carrying $105,000 in debt and one in four households living paycheck to paycheck, can any political initiative—a Mamdani democratic socialist style or otherwise—actually address this crisis before it triggers a nightmarish financial crisis in the broader economy?1. Student Debt Has Become Inescapable Serfdom Since 2005, student loans—both federal and private—are nearly impossible to discharge through bankruptcy. Borrowers must meet an “undue hardship” standard so stringent that people are literally having their Social Security payments garnished in retirement to pay off loans taken out at age 20. Unlike mortgages or credit card debt, education debt follows you for life.2. Private Student Lenders Operate Like Subprime Mortgage Predators During the mid-2000s, banks offered “direct consumer private loans” up to $30,000 with no school certification required, transferred straight to bank accounts, with interest rates of 10-12%. A $30,000 loan could balloon to $100,000. Collier's mother was able to take out eight separate loans totaling $200,000 using only a Social Security number and forged signature—the system had no safeguards because lenders prioritized profit over verification.3. Biden's Big Moves Failed, But Smaller Wins Succeeded Biden's signature executive action to cancel $10,000-$20,000 in federal student debt (which would have freed 20 million borrowers) was blocked by courts, as was his generous SAVE income-driven repayment plan. However, his reforms to Public Service Loan Forgiveness, existing income-driven repayment programs, and borrower defense protections have canceled billions in debt—demonstrating that incremental administrative changes work better than bold executive action in our current legal landscape.4. The Debt Crisis Extends Far Beyond Students With average American consumer debt at $105,000 and one in four households living paycheck to paycheck, we're potentially heading toward systemic economic collapse. The issue isn't just student loans—it's medical debt, rental debt, and a broader affordability crisis. Collier's organization, the Debt Collective (born from Occupy Wall Street), treats this as a collective action problem requiring a union of debtors across all categories.5. Debt Creates Psychological Haunting, Not Just Financial Burden Collier describes debt as both “presence and absence”—a constant bodily heaviness and dread. She feared her credit card would be rejected at grocery stores, dreaded checking her bank account, assumed every unknown phone number was a debt collector. This shame is culturally reinforced: Americans are taught that unpayable debt reflects personal moral failure, even when the system itself is predatory. One borrower told her he avoided dating entirely because he was too ashamed to reveal his debt burden.Keen On America is a reader-supported publication.

Private equity-owned education companies like Houghton Mifflin and Lakeshore Learning are learning a hard lesson in the US leveraged finance market this year as their loans and bonds have tumbled to trade at discounts.In this episode of Cloud 9fin, senior reporter Sunny Oh sat down with US managing editor Bill Weisbrod and discussed his story about how investors have taken a close look at this group of borrowers and asked what the future holds for them in a world where school districts have had to tighten belts and cut spending.Most notably, we talked about how the expiration of the Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief Program (ESSER) has hurt education borrowers who have struggled to fill in the hole left by the $190bn policy.

Economy https://twitter.com/onechancefreedm/status/1980992971840319512 the weight of bad loans and alleged fraud. Then First Brands, a heavily indebted auto parts manufacturer, filed for Chapter 11. Now, PrimaLend Capital Partners, another subprime lender has fallen after defaulting on its bond payments, pushed into bankruptcy by unpaid creditors. These aren't isolated blowups; they're the first visible cracks in a broader credit contraction that's been quietly building beneath the surface. What links them all is the same structure of fragility: loans to high risk borrowers, funded through short term credit and securitized into complex bonds that depend on constant refinancing. When the Fed held rates near zero, that model worked but after two years of policy tightening and an average fed funds rate above 4.4%, the entire subprime ecosystem is choking on its own leverage. The subprime auto sector is the perfect early warning signal because it sits at the intersection of consumer stress and financial engineering. Borrowers with weaker credit are defaulting at rising rates, repossessions are spiking, and lenders like PrimaLend that rely on bond markets for funding are discovering those markets have no appetite for risk. This is about a chain reaction through the private credit and asset backed markets that financed them. Dimon's cockroaches aren't just in subprime auto, they're spread across the shadow banking system. Many private credit funds, BDCs, and securitized lenders hold similar exposure, marked to model rather than market. The first failures are surfacing where consumers feel the pinch first, but as liquidity tightens further, the stress will migrate up the credit spectrum, from auto loans to small business credit, to leveraged corporates, and eventually to the banks that lent to them. These bankruptcies are the financial equivalent of the first tremors before an earthquake. What looks contained in subprime auto today is really the credit cycle shifting into its next phase, one where overextended lenders, not just borrowers, start defaulting. The cockroaches are moving fast, and the lights have only just come on.

Nearly 43 million Americans have federal student loan debt. Their borrowing totals more than $1.8 trillion. That's according to the Education Data Initiative.Now, the federal student loan system is facing significant changes under the Trump administration.One of the biggest differences is the end of the Saving on a Valuable Education, or SAVE plan, started by President Joe Biden. The income-driven program offers low monthly payments and an expedited path to loan forgiveness. Republicans challenged the plan in court where it's still tied up, leaving the 7.7 million enrollees in limbo.How is the Trump administration overhauling the federal student loan system?

On June 18, 2021, Cook acquired a loan on a property in Ann Arbor, Michigan. On the mortgage agreement, Cook represented to “use the Property as Borrower's principal residence within 60 days after the execution of her agreement, Pulte said. On July 2, 2021, just two weeks later, Lisa Cook also purchased a condo in Atlanta and entered a 30-year mortgage agreement and affirmed the property would serve as her primary residence within 60 days of the execution of the mortgage and would serve as her primary residence for a full year, Pulte's referral said. According to Pulte, while Cook affirmed her Atlanta property would serve as her primary residence, online records indicate that the property was listed for rent in September 2022. “ https://twitter.com/pulte/status/1958111353505189889?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1958111353505189889%7Ctwgr%5E7b1ea1c18c3ea4f7d32cb6a97cb37da17b87743d%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thegatewaypundit.com%2F2025%2F08%2Fbreaking-trump-calls-biden-appointed-federal-reserve-governor%2F https://twitter.com/pulte/status/1958153869503975559?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1958153869503975559%7Ctwgr%5E7b1ea1c18c3ea4f7d32cb6a97cb37da17b87743d%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thegatewaypundit.com%2F2025%2F08%2Fbreaking-trump-calls-biden-appointed-federal-reserve-governor%2F https://twitter.com/pulte/status/1958138434171629636?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1958138434171629636%7Ctwgr%5E7b1ea1c18c3ea4f7d32cb6a97cb37da17b87743d%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thegatewaypundit.com%2F2025%2F08%2Fbreaking-trump-calls-biden-appointed-federal-reserve-go...
