Podcasts about Deeds

What can Nauvoo land deeds actually tell us about Joseph Smith and the practice of plural marriage? In this episode of LDS Discussions, we take a close look at Nauvoo land records and examine claims that deeds issued to women –including women who were later identified as plural wives of Joseph Smith –provide evidence for Joseph Smith's practice of polygamy. The records are fascinating, but they are also considerably more complicated than they might appear at first glance. We examine the legal and historical context surrounding Nauvoo property, including the difference between a grantee and a recognized landowner, quitclaim deeds, coverture, widow's dower rights, property held in the  names of women and children, and the ways Joseph Smith and others used property arrangements to protect land from creditors and other legal complications. We also take a  closer look at individual cases involving Helen Mar Kimball, Sarah Ann Whitney, Flora Woodworth, Mary Elizabeth Rollins Lightner, Lydia Dibble Granger, Mercy Fielding Thompson, Philinda Myrick, Emma Smith, and others. Several of these women had connections to plural marriage, but that raises an important historical question: Does the existence of a deed help explain why a particular transaction happened, or does the deed itself provide evidence that polygamy was the reason for the transaction? Throughout the episode, we compare the deeds with tax records, William Clayton's journal, bankruptcy proceedings, and other contemporary evidence to see whether the names and dates appearing on the deeds accurately reflect who actually owned, occupied, controlled, or benefited from the property. One of the key conclusions is that you cannot simply take Nauvoo land deeds at face value. A plural marriage may sometimes provide a possible explanation for a property transaction, but the transaction itself does not necessarily prove that a plural marriage existed. This episode explores the complicated gap between what was legally recorded, what people were actually doing, and what later historians assume those records mean.___________________YouTubeAt Mormon Stories we explore, celebrate, and challenge Mormon culture through in-depth stories told by members and former members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints as well as scholars, authors, LDS apologists, and other professionals.  Our overall mission is to: 1.

Saskatoon's proposed Downtown Event and Entertainment District is facing a new challenge, with former SaskPlace and Credit Union Centre CEO Ken Wood calling for a public referendum. Wood launched a website to gauge support for a petition. He joins the show to explain why he believes the DEED project should go to a public vote.

The situation surrounding the purported “fake deed” to Jeffrey Epstein's Zorro Ranch grew out of confusion and questionable documentation surrounding the ownership history of the sprawling New Mexico property. Epstein controlled the ranch through the Zorro Trust, a structure dating to the 1990s, and public land records show that he used trusts and affiliated entities to handle various property rights connected to the estate. At some point, a document circulated or surfaced purporting to transfer an interest in the ranch, but questions were raised about whether the deed was authentic, legally valid, or actually reflected a legitimate change in ownership. That uncertainty was significant because Zorro Ranch had become one of the most important locations in the broader Epstein investigation, with survivors and federal records connecting the property to alleged sexual abuse and trafficking activity. The ranch was ultimately sold by Epstein's estate in 2023 to San Rafael Ranch LLC, associated with the family of Texas businessman and political figure Don Huffines, and renamed San Rafael Ranch. Public reporting and official records support that transaction, rather than the questionable deed that had generated speculation about who actually controlled the property.The episode illustrated the larger problem surrounding Epstein's financial and property empire: complicated trusts, corporations, transfers and incomplete public records repeatedly made it difficult to determine exactly who owned what and when. That complexity became particularly important after Epstein's death because investigators, journalists and survivors were attempting to trace assets and determine whether property or wealth had been transferred beyond the reach of potential claims. There is no credible evidence that an obviously fraudulent deed successfully stripped the Epstein estate of Zorro Ranch or legitimately transferred the ranch to some mystery owner; the documented ownership chain ultimately led from Epstein's estate to the 2023 purchaser. What the controversy did demonstrate was how easily questionable paperwork could generate confusion around a property already surrounded by extraordinary secrecy. That secrecy remains consequential because New Mexico investigators are still examining activity at Zorro Ranch, and the state has recently accused the Justice Department of withholding information that could identify additional victims, witnesses or participants connected to what happened there.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Stephen Grootes speaks to Dr Siphe Zantsi, agricultural economist at the Agricultural Research Council, about whether formal title deeds could improve economic wellbeing and investment in rural South Africa. While title deeds are often seen as a way to strengthen land security, unlock investment and provide access to finance, Zantsi’s research across seven former homeland areas found that more than 70% of rural respondents did not want title deeds.

What happens when one of the country's sharpest mathematical minds decides that being brilliant isn't enough, that the real work is holding power accountable?In this episode of B the Way Forward, host Brenda Darden Wilkerson sits down with Cathy O'Neil, mathematician, data scientist, founder of the algorithmic auditing firm ORCAA, and author of the landmark book Weapons of Math Destruction, which exposed how opaque algorithms amplify inequality across hiring, credit, criminal justice, and beyond.Cathy's path has been anything but linear: from PhD mathematician to Wall Street quant to Occupy Wall Street activist to public critic of the very systems she once helped build. She has spent the decade since her book's publication doing the unglamorous, legally constrained, financially risky work of algorithmic auditing, turning down lucrative clients whose ethics didn't pass the "can I tell my kids about this?" test, and founding a new nonprofit, Ocean, focused on AI child safety.Brenda and Cathy unpack what it actually costs to follow your conscience in tech, why urgency is a deliberate ethical bypass strategy, why AI is not a math problem, and why the window for federal AI regulation is coming faster than most people think. This is a conversation about accountability, clarity, and what it really means to channel something bigger than yourself.Connect with Cathy on http://mathbabe.org/contactWe Learned About:Why "big data" and "AI" are marketing terms engineered to evoke trust rather than describe something objective, and why that matters for how we regulate themWhat it felt like from the inside to work as a Wall Street quant building models that front-ran California teachers' pension funds, and why Cathy's body gave out before her brain caught upHow Occupy Wall Street taught a pure mathematician that race, sex, and class were not distractions from the financial crisis but the actual storyWhy the lack of accountability, not the technology itself, is the core problem with algorithmic systems deciding who gets a job, a loan, or a prison sentenceHow urgency is used as a deliberate strategy by the tech industry to bypass ethical reflection, and Cathy's triage framework for responding to it anywayChapters:0:00 Introduction & Season Theme1:00 Meet Cathy O'Neil, Author of Weapons of Math Destruction2:00 What "Big Data" and "AI" Actually Mean: Marketing, Hype, and Misplaced Trust4:00 The Lack of Accountability That Drove Cathy to Write Her Book5:30 Starting ORCAA: Trying to Make Algorithms Comply With Anti-Discrimination Law7:00 From Naive Quant to Activist: The Financial Crisis That Changed Everything8:30 What Occupy Wall Street Taught a Mathematician About Race, Class, and Power11:00 When Cathy's Body Knew Before Her Brain Did: Leaving Finance13:00 Front-Running Teachers' Pensions and the Moment It Became Real15:00 Practices and Boundaries That Keep Cathy Grounded Now16:00 The "Can I Tell My Kids About This?"

Send us Fan MailWhat Your Certification Doesn't Prove — Inside AGNP's Credentialing ProgramSign and Thrive Podcast for Notaries | Host: Bill SorokaAnybody can buy a notary certification. All it proves is that you could afford the class and pass the test. It says nothing about whether you can apply what you learned when a real signer, a real document, and a real complication show up at the table.That gap is what this episode is about.Bill Soroka sits down with Lori Hamm, Executive Director of the American Guild of Notaries Public (AGNP) and former Notary Administrator for the State of Montana, to draw a hard line between three things the notary industry constantly confuses: education, certification, and credentialing.Lori spent two decades on the other end of the phone at the Secretary of State's office — fielding calls from notaries who did everything the handbook told them and still didn't know what to do when a situation went sideways. That experience became the foundation of AGNP's credentialing program, the first evaluation in this profession designed to test applied knowledge rather than recall.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeThe definitions that matter. Education is observation, instruction, and experience. Certification is proof of instruction at a single point in time. A credential asks a bigger question: what have you done with what you learned?Why the test is the wrong measure. Great test-takers freeze in the field. Terrible test-takers often have exceptional judgment. Testing measures recall; practice measures judgment.The E&O insurance data point that stops the room. The highest claim rates come from states with mandated notary training. Bill and Lori unpack what that actually tells us."Finding a way to yes." Knowing your state's notarial acts cold isn't about knowing what you can't do — it's about legally serving the customer in front of you. Lori and Bill make the case that mastery is what lets you say yes.Inside the AGNP evaluation. Commission verification, insurance checks, education history, reference letters, and scenario-based questions calibrated to your specific state's laws — including gray-area scenarios where there is no clean answer, only judgment.Why AI-written answers are obvious. Lori explains how generic responses reveal themselves even after the em dashes get cleaned up.Real accountability. Annual renewal, six hours of approved continuing education, background checks, insurance verification, a signed code of ethics, and a credential that can actually be revoked. Unlike a certificate, which nobody can take back.How credentialed notaries are monetizing it. Members are using the credential to hold their pricing, overcome the "I'll find someone cheaper" objection, and win advocates inside law firms and title companies who fight for them in rooms they aren't even in.Why now. Deed fraud. Notary impersonation fraud. The explosion of remote online notarization and international transactions. Lori makes the case that the cost to the economy has become too large to ignore.Who This Episode Is ForNew notaries wondering which notary training course to take. Experienced notaries stacking certifications without seeing income growth. Loan signing agents and notary signing agents looking to differentiate in a crowded market. Notaries building a mobile notary business, a notary signing agent business, or a specialized practice in estate planning, trust delivery, apostille services, fingerprinting, field inspections, or permit running. Title companies, escrow officers, attorneys, and lenders who need to identify qualified notaries and can't tell the difference from a directory listing.If you're trying to raise your notary fees, stand out from low-cost competitors, get more signings, build referral relationships with estate planning attorneys, or figure out whether another certification is actually worth the money — this conversation is for you.Resources MentionedAmerican Guild of Notaries Public — americannotaryguild.orgNotaryCoach.com — notary business training, coaching, and communityHigh Performance Notary — Bill's coaching program for notaries building serious businessesRethinking the Notary — Bill Soroka's book on the future of the notary professionLegacy Vault Partner Program — for notaries serving the estate planning industryConnectSubscribe to the Sign and Thrive Podcast for Notaries for weekly conversations on notary business growth, notary marketing, monetization strategies, industry standards, and interviews with the people shaping this profession.Leave a review if this episode gave you something to work with.

Teaching by Josh Clark Week 7: Serving in the Land (Ch 22-24)Structure of Joshua:Joshua 1-5 - Preparation for entry, "cross"Joshua 6-12 - Entry into Canaan, "take"Joshua 13-21 - Allocating Canaan, "divide"Joshua 22-24 - Keeping Canaan/covenant, "serve"Chapters 22-24 each start with Joshua summoning the people of Israel (22:1; 23:2; 24:1)1. Potential Civil War (Ch 22)V 1-9 Joshua's Charge to Eastern Tribes- V 2-3 The people have obeyed Moses' and Joshua's commands- V 4 "the Lord your God has given rest to your brothers" fulfills the condition of Joshua's command in Josh 1:15- V 5 Joshua commands the people to continue in complete obedience. Gives them 7 things to do  - "observe" the commandment and the law that Moses the servant of the Lord commanded you  - "love" the Lord your God  - "walk" in all his ways  - "keep" his commandments  - "cling" to the Lord  - "serve" him with all your heart and with all your soul- V 6-9 The 2 1/2 tribes are blessed and sent to their tents.V 10-34 The Altar of Witness- V 10-11 The conflict: the western tribes hear that the eastern tribes have set up an altar of imposing size on the west side of the Jordan river. (Deut 12:5)- V 12-14 Western Tribes response: Prepare for war & send delegation  - Delegation consisted of:    - Phinehas, son of Eleazar the High Priest; see Num 25    - 10 chiefs, each one the head of a tribe  - V 15-20 Delegation's message to Eastern tribes:    - Why are you rebelling?    - Remember the sin at Baal Peor?    - If dwelling on the East will cause you to rebel, claim an allotment of the West. Don't rebel or cause us to rebel.    - Remember Achan?- V 21-29 Eastern Tribes Response: We are being faithful and unifying the nation  - V 22 "The Mighty One, God, The LORD!" They start their oath with an appeal to God in his supreme authority and incomparable power.  - V 22-23 If they are lying and created the altar for unauthorized use, they ask that the Israelites or God put them to death.  - Reason for building the altar:    - That the descendants of the Western tribes wouldn't look at the descendants of the Eastern tribes and say they aren't a part of Israel    - That their descendants don't hear that they have no portion in Israel and worship other gods (V 25)- V 30-34 The Resolution  - The Western tribes accept the oath, and worship the Lord because there was no sin.  - They return home bringing good news and relief that there won't be a civil war because the Eastern tribes have remained faithful.  - We hear that the Altar is named Witness by the Eastern tribes because it serves as a witness to the whole nation of Israel that there are no other gods but Yahweh.2. Joshua's Charge to Israel (Ch 23)V 1-5 God's Deeds for Israel- Joshua reminds the people how they have been firsthand witnesses to the fulfillment of God's promises.V 6-11 A Charge to Respond in Obedience- V 6, 11 Obedience and love are inseparable.V 12-16 Warning Against Future Disobedience3. Covenant Renewal and Conclusion (Ch 24)V 1-13 Retelling of God's Faithfulness Throughout the Generations- V 1 Shechem - Joshua calls them back to the land where they had previously renewed the covenant in Josh 8:30-35.  - Fitting that it starts with Abraham because this is where Abraham receives the promise of the land (Gen 12:6-7).  - Shechem is also where Jacob's household buries their foreign gods (Gen 35:1-4).- V 2-13 Notice the "I" statements from God.V 14-28 The Final Charge- "Serve" appears 20 times throughout chapters 22-24. 15 of those 20 times appear in these 15 verses.- V 14-15 Joshua's final charge to the people: Put away the idols and serve Yahweh. Serve the true God or serve the gods of the people that Yahweh is driving out.- V 16-18 The people's response: after all that we have seen Yahweh do we will also serve Yahweh.- V 19-20 Joshua: You are not able to serve the LORD. He is holy. He is jealous and he doesn't take idolatry lightly.- V 21 The people: No we will do it!- V 22-23 Joshua: You are witnesses against yourself. They say we are.  - Joshua: "Then put away the foreign gods that are among you, and incline your heart to the Lord, the God of Israel."  - Gen 35:2 "Put away the foreign gods that are among you and purify yourselves and change your garments."- V 24 The people: We will serve and obey Yahweh.- V 25-28 Joshua cuts a covenant with the people, writes the words of the covenant in the Book of the Law of God, and sets up a stone under a terebinth tree at Shechem as a witness against them if they don't keep their word.  - Deut 23:21, also see Ecc 5:1-7V 29-33 Three Burials- V 29-30 Joshua  - "servant of the Lord"  - Died at 110 years of age which is the same age Joseph died at- V 32 Joseph  - Gen 50:25; Ex 13:19; Heb 12:22  - Buried at Shechem- V 33 Eleazar the High Priest4. Christ Connection- 2 Cor 1:20- All of the promises of God find their fulfillment in Jesus.

Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi's latest "softened" remarks on China represent a calculated attempt at rhetorical maneuvering. If Takaichi genuinely seeks dialogue with Beijing, she must start from retracting her erroneous and dangerous remarks on the Taiwan question. Otherwise, she is merely misleading the Japanese public and the international community to deflect growing criticism.日本首相高市早苗近期对华释放的一系列所谓缓和言论，不过是精心算计的话术博弈。倘若她真心希望同中方开展对话，首要之举便是收回其在台湾问题上发表的错误且危险言论。如若不然，她只是在蒙蔽日本民众与国际社会，借此转嫁外界日益增多的批评之声。During the question-and-answer session at a news conference in Tokyo on Monday, Takaichi said her government had "consistently promoted a strategic mutually beneficial relationship with China and built a constructive and stable relationship". She also claimed that she looked forward to the upcoming Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Economic Leaders' Meeting to be held in China later this year as an opportunity for dialogue.周一，高市早苗在东京记者会问答环节称，日本政府“始终致力于推进中日战略互惠关系，构建富有建设性、稳定的双边关系”。她还表示，期待今年下半年在中国举办的亚太经合组织领导人非正式会议能够成为中日对话契机。Such statements ring hollow when she continues to evade the reasons why relations have soured and seeks to shift the blame onto others.然而日方始终回避中日关系恶化的根源、一味推诿责任，这番说辞听来空洞乏味、毫无诚意。During Monday's news conference, when a TBS reporter claimed in his question that Japanese Foreign Minister Toshimitsu Motegi "had held talks" with his Chinese counterpart Wang Yi on the sidelines of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations Foreign Ministers' Meeting in Manila, Takaichi responded that "Japan was engaging with China at various levels", including through Motegi, and would continue communicating with the Chinese side.周一记者会上，日本TBS电视台一名记者提问时称，日本外务大臣茂木敏充在马尼拉举行的东盟外长会期间同中国外长王毅举行了会谈。对此高市早苗回应称，日本正通过茂木敏充等渠道同中方开展各层级沟通，后续还将持续与中方交流。However, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Lin Jian had twice made it clear, the latest being on Monday, that no contact had taken place between the two foreign ministers in Manila.但中国外交部发言人林剑已两次明确表态（周一刚刚再度重申），两国外长并未在马尼拉进行任何会面接触。It is absurd for the Japanese side to continue playing word games and pretend that communication between the two sides remains normal.日方一味玩弄文字游戏、谎称双边沟通一切如常，这种做法十分荒唐。While dialogue between China and Japan is indeed necessary, the preconditions for that are clearly defined.中日之间固然需要对话，但对话有着明确的前提条件。Takaichi's remarks on the Taiwan question in November last year crossed China's red line and triggered the downward spiral in bilateral relations. Not to mention that the series of China-targeted moves her government has taken in various fields ever since have further hurt bilateral ties.去年11月，高市早苗在台湾问题上的表态触碰中方红线，致使中日关系持续走低。此后，其内阁在诸多领域接连出台针对中国的举措，更是让双边关系雪上加霜。While claiming to be advancing a mutually beneficial relationship and seeking a stable relationship with China, Tokyo simultaneously accelerates the revision of its national security strategy, expands military preparations targeting China, establishes quasi-alliance networks internationally against China, and tries to instigate proxy conflicts. Such moves will only further damage its credit and China-Japan relations.日本一边嘴上宣称要推进中日互惠合作、谋求双边关系稳定，一边加紧修订国家安全战略、扩充针对中国的军备建设、在国际上搭建反华准同盟体系，还蓄意煽动代理人冲突。这类行径只会不断透支自身信誉，持续破坏中日关系。Takaichi's relentless pursuit of a neo-militarist agenda, such as lifting the ban on the export of lethal weapons, has also contributed to her declining approval ratings, amid her failure to address the cost-of-living issues that are most concerning to ordinary Japanese people.高市早苗执意推行新军国主义议程（例如解除杀伤性武器出口禁令），加之无力解决日本民众最为关切的生活成本难题，其民众支持率持续下滑。Takaichi's exacerbation of both domestic and international challenges for Japan means it is only natural she should be losing public support, especially after more and more Japanese people see through her dangerous policy.高市早苗不断让日本深陷国内外双重困境，失去民众支持实属必然；如今越来越多日本民众已然看透其危险施政方针。Even as Takaichi claims to be repairing ties with China, Japanese media have revealed that right-wing forces in Japan are using paid recruits and large-scale AI-generated content to mass-produce disinformation, in a deliberate attempt to distort the history of Japan's aggression against China.即便高市早苗口口声声说要修复中日关系，日本媒体却披露：日本右翼势力雇佣写手、借助人工智能大规模编造虚假信息，蓄意歪曲日本侵华历史。To put China-Japan relations back on a stable track, the Takaichi government must abandon its neo-militarist trajectory, adopt a correct view of history and approach China's development with reason and restraint. To that end, it needs to move beyond rhetorical maneuvers. Such duplicity — saying one thing while doing another — will only continue to drain the credibility of the Takaichi government.想要让中日关系重回稳定发展轨道，高市内阁必须摒弃新军国主义发展路线，树立正确历史观，理性克制地看待中国发展。日方不能只停留在话术层面，言行不一的两面派做法只会持续消耗本届内阁的公信力。Tokyo has to demonstrate, through genuine action, a sincere commitment to regional peace and stability. Only then can it begin to rebuild the trust of its neighbors and the broader international community.日本唯有拿出实实在在的行动，展现维护地区和平稳定的诚意，才有可能重新赢得周边邻国以及国际社会的信任。rhetorical maneuvering /rɪˈtɒrɪkl məˈnuːvərɪŋ/话术博弈；言辞算计deflect /dɪˈflekt/转移（批评、指责）；转嫁ring hollow听上去空洞无物、缺乏诚意neo-militarist /ˌniːəʊ ˈmɪlɪtərɪst/新军国主义的duplicity /djuːˈplɪsəti/两面派；言行不一；口是心非exacerbation /ɪɡˌzæsəˈbeɪʃn/加剧；恶化

What to listen for:“You can still support your dog, but you do not have to step in and solve [the problem].”Our hosts, Robin Greubel and Stacy Barnett, sit down with returning guest Bob Deeds to unpack a week of Intentional Handling and Hide Setting, the detection camp the two hosts built years ago and this year expanded to fifteen students running six searches a day!Held on Robin's working farm, the course throws teams (Papillons alongside Malinois, cadaver handlers alongside sport dog people) into barns full of donkey dung, hay fields, and wind that Bob, fresh from Texas, learns shifts hourly in Iowa.Hides "misbehave": they migrate, vanish with the moving sun, or disappear when a tractor pulls away from a scent pool.Rather than solving the problem for their dogs, handlers are coached to read arousal. The dog owns exactly one job, the trained behavior; the handler owns everything else.By week's end, students are setting their own hides, and handling that once looked frantic becomes nearly invisible. That's proof, Bob argues, that intentional handling builds teamwork rather than dependence.Homework matters as much as class time, too. Students now film their runs and coaching, and by day four they're self-correcting before anyone says a word. There's been so much success this year that Robin, Stacy, and Bob are already looking toward next year's version of the course! Key Topics:A Bigger, Reimagined Intentional Handling and Hide Setting Week (01:39)Building Systematic Toughness (04:56)When Hides Misbehave: Wind, Sun, and a Living Working Farm (10:50)Trainer Ethics and Why Students Should Design Their Own Hides (18:49)The Bowling Alley Analogy and a Live Lesson in Canine Stress Signals (25:23)The Wagon Wheel, Heads-Up Display, and Handler Challenges (30:50)The Donut of Effectiveness and Cyclical "Spinning Plates" Training (40:34)Key Takeaways (44:02)We want to hear from you:Check out the K9 Detection Collaborative FB page and comment on the episode post!K9Sensus Detection Dog Trainer AcademyK9Sensus Foundation can be found on Facebook and Instagram.

In Psalm 66 the psalmist calls the whole earth to worship the God who saves, trusts him through seasons of refining, and invites others to hear the story of his faithfulness. This psalm reminds us that God's mighty acts are not confined to the pages of history. The God who delivered Israel through the sea is the same God who preserves his people through trials, hears the prayers of those who belong to him, and is worthy of our praise. Join us this Sunday as we consider God's salvation, our trials, and the testimony of his grace through Jesus Christ.

Plus, we sit down one-on-one with the Deputy Mayor of Community Safety in Newark, New Jersey, for a conversation on innovative approaches to public safety, following our recent interview with New York City's Deputy Mayor of Community Safety. Led by Black women, both offices offer unique perspectives on building safer, stronger communities.

Christ speaks in the Psalms, and in this Psalm He demonstrates for believers how to cope with the oppressive enemies. Jesus Himself was raised in triumph over His enemies, and now from heaven He declares those wonderful works of God to us—so that we too would find comfort and tell them to our enemies before judgment comes.

What does the new threat look like for inherited properties right now? In this episode of the Real Estate Excellence Podcast, Tracy Hayes sits down with Tammy Legette. Tammy is a Charlotte based real estate broker, inherited property specialist, author, and founder of Inherited Property Navigator.

The $28K Fort Worth Note with Massive Equity PotentialAre 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. Key Topics Covered in This Episode: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. Multiple Exit Strategies, Maximum FlexibilityThe 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%). "The real profit lies not taking this property to foreclosure... but taking the property back. When you buy the note, you don't own the real estate. You own the debt. But buying the note, you become the bank." — Scott Carson If no one outbids you, the property becomes a real estate owned (REO) asset. Suddenly, you are in control of a ~$200,000 home for just your initial note acquisition and light renovation costs. Whether you choose to fix and flip, rent it out for $1,700 a month, or offer owner financing back to the marketplace, the safety net of a 14% loan-to-value ratio ensures your capital is incredibly well-protected. Conclusion & Next StepsWhether 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.

RHLSTP Book Club #183 - Bad Deeds - Richard talks to novelist and former QI Elf Andrew Hunter Murray about his funny page-turner Bad Deeds. They chat about him no longer being like John Wyndham, how to break into BAFTA, how Richard broke into Buckingham Palace and the much repeated truth about what Michael Fagan got up to in the Queen's bedroom, giving up on a novel after 30,000 words, planning plots, writing in Costa, the parallels with this book and the brilliant London Falling and why breaking into posh houses is acceptable behaviour.Buy the book here - https://uk.bookshop.org/p/books/bad-deeds-andrew-hunter-murray/8ac69edc4570ebc2SUPPORT THE SHOW!See details of the RHLSTP LIVE DATES Watch our TWITCH CHANNELBecome a badger and see extra content at our WEBSITE Buy DVDs and books from GO FASTER STRIPEAudio mix by Ben Evans (NTO)Thanks to Chris Evans (NTO)Recorded at the Podcast Room Hosted on Acast.
