The discussion also explores spirituality, self-sufficiency, media influence, and the future of real estate as more people embrace creative financing and for-sale-by-owner strategies.

In this episode, Dawn Rickabaugh interviews veteran real estate investor Jay Davis about his decades of experience using seller financing to acquire and reposition investment properties. Jay shares how creative financing helped him buy commercial buildings with little to no money down, and explains a recent deal where he acquired three duplexes through seller financing by building trust with the seller and honoring her family legacy. The conversation highlights how owner financing can create win-win solutions for buyers, sellers, and agents alike—especially in today's challenging market. Dawn and Jay also discuss relationship-based investing, revitalizing properties, tax advantages, and how seller financing can preserve long-term income for retiring landlords.

In this episode, AZREIA Executive Director Michael Del Prete and Marcus Maloney sits down with attorney, investor, and note expert Jeff Watson to discuss why many investors are shifting away from traditional rentals and toward notes and seller financing to build more predictable income with less risk and stress. eff shares his journey from buy-and-hold investing and short sales to becoming a successful note investor after learning from Eddie Speed. The conversation dives into how rising taxes, insurance costs, maintenance expenses, and growing political pressures are making traditional rental investing more difficult than ever. You'll learn how seller financing can create steady monthly cash flow, why amortization schedules can become a powerful wealth-building tool, and how investors can structure creative deals to maximize returns. Jeff walks through a real-world seller finance example using a $129,900 property sale with a $20,000 down payment and financing at 9.5% over 30 years. He also explains how partial note sales can help investors recover capital faster and how self-directed IRAs can be used in note investing strategies. If you're looking for ways to build more consistent income while reducing the day-to-day challenges of being a landlord, this conversation is packed with valuable insights you can apply immediately. 1:03 Jeffs Investing Origin 02:05 Short Sales to Note Buyer 05:36 Why Pivot Now 06:44 Two Aha Moments 08:28 Seller Financing Math 11:55 Where It Works 15:33 Subject To and Wraps 17:07 Note Myths and Payoffs 19:39 AZREIA Events Preview 22:24 Deep Dive Workshop 25:10 Disclaimers and Wrap Up -- Contact Alden of Silver Crest Opportunity Fund at http://silvercrestopportunityfund.com ""AZREIA does not endorse specific investments.

Seller financing has historically been the default way to buy real estate long before modern banks existed - and remains a powerful, underutilized strategy in today's market. This lighthearted and value-packed episode focuses on how tired landlords can use installment sales (seller financing) to potentially double their income, eliminate management headaches, and create steady retirement cash flow while deferring taxes. What makes this kind of situation a success is understanding a seller's needs, building rapport, and structuring win-win deals (such as converting rental income into a “real estate annuity”) while also considering the secondary market for notes to ensure long-term flexibility and value.

Imagine receiving monthly payments without the headaches of being a landlord. Scott explains how buying the "IOU" from banks allows you to earn 8% to 12% returns while a third-party company handles the collections. It's a game-changer for those seeking more passive income.Key Takeaways for Your Wealth Journey:You Don't Need Perfect Credit: Scott shares his personal story of starting over after a foreclosure and how networking with private lenders can fund your deals.The "Numbers Over Emotions" Rule: We discuss the "Oh That's So Cute" (OTSC) syndrome. If you want to succeed, you have to take the emotion out and let the data drive your decisions.Financial Foundations First: Before you buy your first rental, ensure you have your six-month emergency fund and your retirement accounts in place.The Power of Local Networks: Why your first step shouldn't be a generic online course, but your local real estate investment club.About My GuestScott Carson is the host of The Note Closers Show and the principal at WeCloseNotes.com.

In this episode, Dawn shares her passion for owner financing and note investing as a way to create financial freedom outside traditional banks and Wall Street. She emphasizes that a private secondary market for mortgage notes allows sellers to offer financing and still access liquidity, creating a parallel real estate system that keeps more money within communities. One of the case discussions highlights how investors can structure deals without banks, benefiting buyers, sellers, and investors through flexible, win-win arrangements. One investor (Ken) shares his strategy of selling properties via owner financing to reduce management responsibilities while generating steady income, even offering favorable terms to help buyers succeed. The conversation reinforces that many real estate deals can be done creatively without traditional lending, and that fairness, flexibility, and real-life circumstances often drive why people choose owner financing.Listen to the rest of the episode over at CitizensOfTheRealm.com

This podcast episode focuses on how real estate agents and buyers can use owner (seller) financing as a powerful alternative to traditional bank loans, especially in a slower market where deals are falling through. Dawn emphasizes that agents can close more transactions (and avoid price reductions!) by introducing seller financing as an option, particularly for higher-end listings and buyers with strong profiles--for example, self-employed individuals with 20% down who can refinance later. She explains that sellers can benefit by receiving their full asking price, earning ongoing income, and potentially reducing tax burdens, while buyers gain access to properties they might not qualify for through banks. Overall, the discussion highlights seller financing as an underutilized strategy that creates win-win solutions, unlocks deals, and opens new income opportunities for both agents and investors.

Welcome back to the Lenders Playbook Podcast-episode 103. Today I'm joined by Bill Bymel the founder of First Lien Capital, a company focused on buying and investing in real estate notes.In this episode, we'll talk about how he got started in the note business, the types of deals he looks for, and how he decides which notes to buy. We'll also get into what makes his company different, where he thinks interest rates are headed in 2026, and some of the leadership principles that have helped him build the business.

In this episode of Property & Paper Live, Dawn Rickabaugh discusses current shifts in the real estate market and why seller financing and private note investing are becoming increasingly important as traditional lending tightens. The conversation covers real-world scenarios from investors, including a burned property tied to a reverse mortgage and how lenders may claim insurance proceeds. Dawn also shares insights on reverse mortgage timelines, distressed assets, and opportunities that arise when institutional lenders offload problems. As market uncertainty grows, she explains why investors who understand both property and paper (especially the secondary market for notes) are uniquely positioned to create solutions and profitable deals outside the traditional banking system.

The Secret Weapon for Scaling Your Real Estate BusinessAre you a "solopreneur" working a demanding nine-to-five while trying to build a real estate empire in the margins of your day? Most part-time investors find that marketing and due diligence are the first things to fall off the plate when they get home exhausted at 6:00 PM. But if you want to reach six figures in your first year, you cannot keep doing $15-an-hour tasks and expect a high-level bank account. In this episode, we're diving deep into the tactical side of leveraging virtual assistants (VAs) to clone your efforts, automate your systems, and ensure your business is working—even while you're asleep. Key Strategies for Leveraging a Virtual AssistantAutomated Due Diligence & Spreadsheet Scrubbing: Instead of manually checking every asset on a tape, a trained VA can "scrub" your spreadsheets to pull Zillow values, rental rates, and back taxes. They can even save property photos into a Dropbox and run preliminary calculations based on your specific formulas, delivering a narrowed-down list for your final review. Dominating Local Markets via Direct Marketing: A VA can act as your "social sleuth," performing skip tracing to find borrower phone numbers and emails or pulling IRA investor contacts directly from county records. They can manage your entire marketing funnel—from designing postcards in Canva to executing mail merges and scheduling email blasts in your CRM—so your outreach stays consistent without you lifting a finger. Social Media & Content Management: Don't let your social profiles become a "ghost town." VAs can take your recorded podcast audio or video and transform it into YouTube descriptions, blog posts, and LinkedIn newsletters. They can also manage your Facebook groups, design daily marketing graphics, and ensure your "30 by 30" marketing matrix is executed every single day. High-Level Asset Management & Outreach: Beyond simple admin tasks, VAs can handle the heavy lifting of calling bank asset managers or research probate leads in specific counties. They can also serve as a "contract-to-close" manager, coordinating between attorneys, loan processors, and service providers to ensure your deals move from a signed contract to a funded asset smoothly. The ROI of Delegation: While a quality real estate VA typically costs between $10 and $12 an hour, the return on investment is massive. For roughly $850 a month, you gain 20 hours of weekly productivity that allows you to focus on the "big rocks"—finding deals and raising capital. This system replaces the need for expensive local office space and full-time staff while providing a 24/7 engine for your business growth. Success in real estate investing isn't about working harder; it's about working smarter by delegating the tasks that are below your pay grade. As we move through 2026, the gap between the "hobbyists" and the "heavy hitters" will be defined by who uses the tools of automation and delegation most effectively. Don't wait for "perfection" to start marketing—perfection is the enemy of results. Take action today, find a partner like Riva Global to help you staff up, and start focusing on the big-money moves that will actually change your life. Ready to stop doing it all yourself?

Your Note Investing Super Bowl: Build a Dream Team to Dominate 2026!Alright, everybody! Scott Carson here, ready to tackle a crucial topic that's been lighting up my phone: building your ultimate note investing dream team. With the Super Bowl on the horizon, it's the perfect analogy – you wouldn't put a quarterback at nose tackle, right? The same goes for real estate. You can't be a solo-preneur, trying to do it all yourself, especially when you're buying notes in 20+ states like me!Many new investors (like Vincent from Harrisburg, PA – this one's for you, buddy!) think they need to master every single task. But here's the kicker: delegating isn't just smart; it's essential. I've been coaching for almost two decades, and the most successful investors aren't just good at one thing; they're great at assembling a team. So, let's draft your winning lineup for 2026!Here's how to build your note investing dream team:The Scouting Report: REIAs & Networking: Your first stop? Local Real Estate Investor Associations (REIAs) and BNI groups. These are your recruiting grounds for investor-friendly realtors, title companies, and other pros. Don't be a wallflower; get there, ask around, and find the right people who want to work with investors.The Playmakers: Realtors & Title/Attorneys: You need reliable realtors for BPOs and market insights (especially out-of-state!). Pair them with investor-friendly title companies or real estate attorneys for seamless closings and secure money transfers. They're critical for evaluating and closing your deals.The Coaches: Licensed Servicers & Foreclosure Attorneys: For note investors, a licensed servicer is non-negotiable – they collect payments, handle communication, and manage legalities, saving you headaches (and potential fines!). A real estate attorney in every state you're active in is your offensive coordinator for foreclosures and workouts.The Finance Department: Hard Money & Private Capital: Even if you're the bank, you need a bank! Build relationships with hard money lenders for REO rehabs and, crucially, cultivate private money investors (IRAs, OPM). Your network of other investors can also be a goldmine for capital.The Ground Crew: Contractors & Property Management: When you take back an REO, you need reliable contractors (roofers, HVAC, handyman crews) to get it market-ready. For rentals, a trusted property manager (preferably local) is essential. These are your boots-on-the-ground, turning a problem asset into a profitable solution.You're not Tom Brady, trying to throw the ball to himself and run the field without blockers. You need a team that takes things off your plate, provides expertise, and moves your deals forward. My success, and my students', comes from building these relationships.Don't let the thought of doing it all yourself cripple your ambition.

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.

As traditional mortgage lending tightens and rental returns compress, note investing is quietly making a comeback. In this episode of The Real Wealth Show, Kathy Fettke sits down with Eddie Speed, a 45-year veteran of the note investing business, to explain why now may be one of the best cycles in decades to "be the bank." Eddie breaks down why seller-financed notes are thriving as loan origination volumes collapse, how investors are earning strong interest income without managing tenants, and what separates high-quality notes from risky deals. They also explore why underserved borrowers are driving demand, how underwriting protects investors, and why many investors are shifting from rentals and syndications into notes. If you're looking for passive income, diversification, and insight into one of real estate's lesser-known asset classes, this episode offers a timely look at why note investing is gaining momentum again in 2026.

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.

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.

Seller finance compliance feels messy because multiple rule sets overlap and the gray areas are real. In this episode, I break down the essentials—Dodd-Frank Ability-to-Repay (ATR), TRID timelines, and the “Rules of 1, 3, and 5”—and show you how to keep deals simple, compliant, and sellable. Key takeaways Dodd-Frank ATR (the big one): If your borrower is an owner-occupant, you must make a good-faith determination they can repay (credit, income, debts, residual income). You want to underwrite anyway—this protects you and improves loan performance. TRID basics: Send a Loan Estimate (LE) ≥ 7 business days before closing and a Closing Disclosure (CD) ≥ 3 business days before closing. Disclosure reduces misunderstandings and defaults. Rules of 1 / 3 / 5 (why the myths persist): “1 per year”: Only applies to natural persons selling their own primary residence (not investment deals or entities). Not the “do anything you want” rule most think it is. “3 per year”: You can create up to 3 loans/year without involving an RMLO, but ATR still applies. Not Wild West. “5 per year”: You can do up to 5 loans/year without TRID, but if you're already doing ATR with an RMLO, you'll typically do TRID too—there's no reason not to. Why follow ATR + TRID even when not strictly required: Better underwriting → fewer defaults Easier to sell (and at higher prices) to institutional buyers Enforceability if a borrower contests in court Costs are typically passed to the borrower at closing Servicing tip: For owner-occupied loans, use a third-party servicer. Compliance on servicing is even stricter, and you can contractually pass the monthly fee to the borrower. Resources mentioned
