Good morning, afternoon, and evening, investors! Scott Carson here, ready to drop some serious knowledge bombs on your day-to-day investing strategies. Today, we're talking with a true titan of Texas real estate finance, Michael Hoffman, founder and CEO of Longhorn Investments! Since 2008, Mike and his team have funded over 10,000 loans and $2 billion, helping investors nationwide (with about 50% of that still right here in Texas!) turn fixer-uppers into cash-flowing dreams. If you're buying, fixing, and flipping, you're gonna want to grab a burnt orange pen, because Mike's insights are pure gold – and he's not afraid to tell you why HGTV is fictional!In this episode, you'll learn:Hard Money 101 & First-Time Investor Hacks: Mike demystifies hard money lending: it's asset-based, faster than banks (5-7 days!), and funds up to 100% of loan-to-cost (up to 70% ARV). Plus, hear how Longhorn empowers first-time fix-and-flippers by focusing on the deal's viability (hello, appraisals!), not just your experience level.The Truth About Deals & Rehabs (and why HGTV is Fiction!): Learn why Longhorn meticulously vets every deal – they want you to succeed, not foreclose! Mike stresses the vital importance of hiring a reputable contractor (not the cheapest, and definitely not you for wall-moving projects!) and the necessity of actively overseeing your rehabs to avoid "mucking up the machine."Lender Goals & Market Realities: Mike pulls back the curtain on what motivates a good hard money lender: they're in the note business, not the "loan-to-own" business! Discover why quick draw disbursements (48-72 hours!) are crucial for project success, and how to spot lenders who might be running on fumes. Plus, understand how current market conditions are affecting loan terms and borrower strategies.Property Preferences & Geographic Boundaries: Longhorn's sweet spot? Workforce housing (ARVs under $400k) and brick, 3-bed/2-bath homes built pre-1970s. Mike explains why they avoid mobile homes (unless they're real estate!), condos (those HOA assessments are no joke!), and "Podunkville" locations (you gotta sell it to someone!).Passive Investing Powerhouse: The Trident Fund: Get an exclusive peek behind the curtain at Trident Realty Investments, the $222 million evergreen fund that bankrolls Longhorn's loans. Discover how accredited investors can target a 10% return (with a 1-year lockup) by investing alongside Mike, who's always the first investor in. It's a transparent, stable way to put your lazy capital to work!This episode with Michael Hoffman is a masterclass in navigating the hard money landscape, offering candid advice and battle-tested strategies for investors at every level. Mike isn't just a lender; he's a partner in your success, even if that means telling you to walk away from a bad deal!Ready to get your next fix and flip funded without all the drama?

Good morning, good afternoon, and good evening, investors! Scott Carson here, and boy, do we have a treat for you! Ever wanted to tackle Texas creative financing—think subject-to, wrap-around mortgages, and assumptions—without, shall we say, foul-ups? Good, because I've brought on the man, the myth, the legend himself: T Alan Ceshker from the Ceshker Law Firm! With over 30 years in the game and a proud 5th-generation Austinite, Alan is the go-to guy for navigating the Lone Star State's unique legal landscape. He's helped thousands of investors get these specialized transactions right, so you don't end up with an "Amityville Horror" on your hands. If you're eyeing those sweet, low-interest mortgages and distressed borrowers, this episode is your official "Don't Screw It Up" guide!In this episode, you'll learn:Demystifying Texas Creative Financing (Alan's Way!): Alan cuts through the jargon, explaining why he calls everything a "wrap" (even assumptions and sub-to deals!) from a legal standpoint, and why "sub-to" is a term he strategically avoids. Learn the core concept: it's "just seller financing" where the existing mortgage stays, and the seller dons a new "lender" hat.Bulletproof Contracting for Texas Wraps & Assumptions: Discover Alan's ingenious "math word problem" solution for drafting contracts that account for fluctuating payoff amounts in assumptions, bypassing Paragraph 3 headaches. For wraps, it's as simple as standard seller finance! Plus, get the crucial "disclose, disclose, disclose" mantra to avoid those pesky investor amnesia cases years down the road.Taming the Due-on-Sale Beast with Trusts: Unpack the infamous due-on-sale clause—what it means, why lenders usually don't call it (but sometimes do!), and how Alan's proprietary "due on sale trust" structure leverages the Garn-St. Germain Act for protection. You'll hear about specific lenders (looking at you, Home Loan Servicing!) that raise flags and why downloading generic trust forms is a bad idea.Non-Negotiable Insurance & Legal Compliance: This is HUGE. Alan reveals the #1 reason wraps fail: incorrect insurance. Learn the exact structure (seller as additional insured, not just interest; lender as mortgagee clause) and why you must use a proven provider. Plus, understand the critical legal compliance points for Texas: RMLO requirements, the 5.016 disclosure, and the "no balloons, no ARMs" rule for baseline compliance.Pro-Tips for a Smooth Ride (and Avoiding Foreclosure): Get actionable advice for managing your deals: conference calls with sellers for lender contact, the strategic use of Power of Attorney for checks, and Alan's "6% down" rule of thumb to mitigate default risk. He also stresses the importance of continuous communication with all parties to ensure smooth sailing and happy campers.This episode with Alan Ceshker is an absolute masterclass in navigating the legal and operational intricacies of Texas creative financing. He's not just talking theory; he's giving you the battle-tested strategies to build a robust portfolio and avoid painful (and costly) mistakes. So, stop drawing deals on napkins, reach out to Alan's team, and get ready to close some rock-solid transactions!

In this episode, I'm peeling back the curtain on my biggest takeaway from the Laughlin and Associates Magnify Your Wealth Summit: AI is rocking real estate marketing, and if you're not paying attention, you're missing out. Website traffic is down, Facebook engagement is tanking, and Google's AI is now answering questions directly, bypassing traditional search results. But here's the good news: this levels the playing field! You, yes YOU, can become "AI searchable" and attract more deals and capital with minimal effort.I'll share exactly how we're adapting and how you can too, even if you hate being on camera (or have a "tiny holes tightened up" feeling about tech).Here's what you'll learn to boost your note business:AI's Search Revolution: Understand why direct AI answers are replacing traditional website clicks and how this impacts your online presence.Your New "Real Estate": Discover why fresh written, audio, and video content is the most valuable asset AI is looking for.Low-Hanging Fruit: LinkedIn Newsletters: Learn how to use this free tool to deliver content directly to your audience's inboxes and appear in AI searches.ChatGPT & Gemini for Content Creation: My simple, repeatable process for generating 52 weeks of SEO-rich blog topics and entire posts from transcriptions in minutes.Why You Can't Afford to Wait: How consistent, AI-friendly content builds credibility, attracts asset managers, and helps you stand out from the 99.9% of investors who won't do this.This isn't just theory; it's the cutting edge. Stop thinking of AI as intimidating and start embracing it to catapult your business. Because when people search for "who is [your name]?", you want them to know you know what the "shit hell you're talking about!" Schedule 15-30 minutes a week, folks. It's a game-changer. Let's get you found, funded, and frankly, famous in your niche.#RealEstateInvesting #NoteInvesting #AIMarketing #SEO #LinkedInNewsletter #ChatGPT #WealthBuilding #ContentMarketing #InvestorTips #PodcastWatch the Original VIDEO HERE!Book a Call With Scott HERE!Sign up for the next FREE One-Day Note Class HERE!Sign up for the WCN Membership HERE!Sign up for the next Note Buying For Dummies Workshop HERE!Love the show?

Good morning, afternoon, and evening, everyone! The news is buzzing with President Trump's 50-year mortgage idea for housing affordability. While the media churns drama, on The Note Closers Show, we stick to numbers. And the numbers, ladies and gentlemen, never lie.We dug into this mortgage innovation with calculators (and a little AI!). Is a 50-year mortgage a brilliant strategy for real estate investors and first-time homebuyers, or an endless interest trap? Forget media drama; let's talk facts about interest rates, equity growth, and smart real estate investment in today's housing market, especially for Texas real estate.Here's what we uncovered in this episode:50-Year Mortgage: Lower Payments, Broader Access. We dissect payment differences across 15, 30, 40, & 50-year terms. Saving over $266/month on a $386K mortgage (at 6.25%) significantly boosts your debt-to-income ratio, opening homeownership doors to more.Flexibility is King: Strategic Wealth Building. The longer term offers financial flexibility. Use monthly savings (not just for takeout!) to aggressively tackle high-interest debt, invest for higher returns, or build emergency funds. This gives you control, empowering strategic real estate investment choices.Equity Growth: Appreciation Outpaces Interest. Debunking the "too much interest" myth: real estate appreciation is the true wealth builder. A $400K home, appreciating at 4% annually, can hit $526K in 7 years. Your equity grows faster than extra interest, proving property values are key, not fear-mongering.Renting vs. Owning: Build Wealth or "Not Own Sh!t." The rent-vs-buy debate continues. Renting seems cheaper, but 20 years of rent means missing massive home equity and wealth accumulation. Your home is your investment office; don't delay entry while property values soar.Strategic Homeownership: Get In, Grow, Recast. Your first home isn't forever. The strategy: enter an affordable property with a longer mortgage (e.g., in Austin, Texas). As income/market grow, refinance or recast. This leverages average 7-8 year homeowner moves, maximizing market advantage & avoiding mortgage debt pitfalls.This isn't endless payment; it's about getting in the game, building real estate wealth, and navigating life's curveballs. For real estate investors, homeowners, and anyone wanting informed decisions (math, not melodrama!), this episode is for you. Take action, buddy!

Ever feel like your entrepreneurial journey is less a straight line and more a frantic chase after a "shiny object squirrel?" Then you're in for a treat! On this episode of The Note Closers Show, we sit down with Brian Royster, affectionately known as "The Note Genius," for a refreshingly honest conversation about building a note and real estate investing empire from the ground up – missteps, lessons, and all.Brian's story isn't one of overnight success, but a testament to relentless effort, learning from hard knocks, and finding his niche in the lucrative world of note investing. He's not here to sell you a dream of retiring tomorrow with 50 grand; he's here to share the real hustle, the expensive tuition fees, and the breakthrough moments that led him to find his stride.Tune in to discover:The Unfiltered Hustle: Mobile Homes, Bandit Signs, and a $10K "Tuition Fee." Brian takes us back to his roots, detailing his early ventures into wholesaling mobile homes in California – a pursuit he describes as a "third job" involving hours of driving and dealing with park managers for "chattel" properties. He candidly shares the painful lesson of losing $10,000 on a laundromat deal due to a ghosting partner, emphasizing the critical importance of contracts and proof of funds. This segment is a masterclass in learning the hard way, so you don't have to!The Eureka Moment: Why Note Investing Beat Being a Landlord. Tired of the tenant troubles and property headaches associated with traditional real estate, Brian found his calling in mortgage note investing. He explains how attending a seminar completely shifted his perspective, revealing a path to passive income and business building that aligned perfectly with his goals, without the ongoing demands of property management.Brian's Blueprint: Target Markets, Yields, and Performing Notes. Get the inside scoop on Brian's current note investing strategy. He focuses on acquiring performing notes with target yields of 12-15% and deal sizes typically ranging from $50,000 to $150,000. Learn which Midwest and Southern states (Michigan, Indiana, Ohio, Texas, Georgia, North Carolina) are his sweet spots, and how he structures deals to offer attractive returns to investors, even those new to the game.Building a Personal Brand: The "Note Genius" YouTube Journey. Discover how Brian leveraged a simple concept – documenting his journey – into a powerful tool for raising capital and educating others. His "Note Genius" YouTube channel breaks down complex topics like "What is note investing?" and "Due Diligence," not just to help others, but also as a personal learning mechanism. He's proving that you don't need to be a seasoned guru to share valuable insights and build a community.The Power of Authenticity: Why "I Don't Know" is Your Best Asset. Brian and the host emphasize the incredible value of transparency and humility in the real estate world. Brian shares how wearing his "passive income" hat sparks conversations, and why being open about his learning process – even sharing mistakes like the $10K loss – builds far more credibility than pretending to know everything. He also highlights the importance of networking in ambitious cities like San Diego, where capital and connections abound.Brian Royster is a testament to the fact that you don't have to be a grey-haired guru to dive deep into real estate. His journey, marked by persistence, smart pivots, and a genuine desire to learn and share, is an inspiration for anyone looking to make their mark in real estate investing, especially in the notes space.Check out Bryan's YouTube Channel Here!Watch the Original VIDEO HERE!Book a call with Scott HERE!Sign up for the next Note Buying For Dummies Workshop HERE!Love the show?

Learn why that non-compete might not be worth the paper it's printed on, and how a vengeful seller can still ruin your day.Financial Statement Fantasies: Those P&Ls? Probably fiction. Discover the accounting shenanigans that can turn a profitable business into a money pit overnight.The "Expert" Fallacy: Thinking of stepping in to run the business yourself?

Learn from my (mis)adventures as we uncover the importance of due diligence and what to do when a "performing" note turns out to be a dud. Get ready for some real talk and actionable insights that could save you from making a costly mistake!Initial Assessment: The deal involves a property in Toledo, Ohio, with a $106,000 UPB and a sales price of $110,000. The interest rate is 8.9%, with P&I payments of $845.71 a month. Sounds good, right?The Red Flags: Concerns arise when the previous value was $56,000, raising questions about the escalated sales price. Plus, current market rent is around $1,000 a month.Making an Offer: I dove in with an offer at $40,000, aiming for a sweet yield.

Houston, we have a problem!The Seller Confession: The seller admits the note is not performing and apologizes for the misrepresentation. Honesty is the best policy... eventually.Foreclosure Fears: With the borrower making zero payments, foreclosure looms. Can we turn this ship around, or is it destined to sink?Cash for Keys Conundrum: Considering offering cash for keys to expedite the process and avoid costly foreclosure. A little sugar goes a long way!The Verdict: Based on the BPO and payment history, this deal is currently a dud.

In this episode of The Note Closers Show, Scott Carson dives into the world of infinite returns through a fascinating case study. This episode explores how to achieve above-average returns by strategically investing in performing or non-performing notes. Let's break down the key elements of this deal and understand the approach to evaluating such opportunities.Strategic Note Investment Opportunity: A performing note in Toledo, Ohio, is being offered at a significant discount, presenting an opportunity for a high return on investment. Initial due diligence is key to confirm updated valuations and potential upside.Leveraged for Strong Cash Flow: The note is owner-financed and has consistent cash flow, making it appealing. Understanding loan to value ratio and the potential future of rental revenue is crucial in determining if this deal is worth the investment.Infinite Return Potential Through Private Money: By utilizing private money lenders, the deal can be structured to minimize or eliminate the investor's personal capital, creating the potential for an infinite return on investment.Built-in Risk Mitigation Elements: The original loan included a title insurance policy, and adding a prepayment penalty can further protect against refinancing and ensure a minimum return even in early exit scenarios.Rehabbed Property with Appreciation Potential: The property has been recently rehabbed, and there is an increase in property value, as shown by a BPO. There is opportunity for refinancing and profit in the near future.This case study illustrates how to potentially achieve infinite returns through strategic note investing. By thoroughly analyzing deals, leveraging private money, and mitigating risks, investors can unlock significant profits.
