Dawn Rickabaugh welcomes Tim Street of Foolproof FSBO for a wide-ranging conversation about real estate, entrepreneurship, financial uncertainty, and personal freedom. Tim shares exciting news about purchasing a luxury property in Panama to expand his Airbnb portfolio internationally. They discuss current housing market trends, economic instability, seller financing, and the growing desire for people to take control of their finances and lifestyles outside traditional systems. 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.

Thinking about moving to France or buying French real estate? In this episode of Gimme Some Truth, we talk with Philippe Henky from Squair Law, a French tax attorney with over 10 years of experience advising U.S. nationals on French tax law, estate planning, and cross-border real estate transactions.Philippe walks through the biggest financial and legal pitfalls Americans face when relocating to France — from inheritance taxes that can reach 45–60% to forced heirship rules that may override your U.S. estate plan. We cover practical strategies like usufruct (division of ownership), how to structure property purchases (share deal vs. asset deal), and why the difference between a holiday home and a primary residence matters more than you think.We also unpack a common source of confusion: the U.S.–France income tax treaty vs. the estate tax treaty, and why mixing them up can be costly. Plus, Philippe explains how French law treats U.S. trusts (spoiler: not the way you'd expect) and why you should always get your own notary and attorney when buying property in France.Whether you're planning a permanent move, purchasing a vacation home, or just exploring your options, this episode gives you the framework to make smarter decisions — ideally before you sign anything.Key topics covered: French inheritance tax rates (45–60%) and how to reduce your exposureUsufruct and division of ownership strategiesDo Americans need a French will?

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.

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.

Most people think real estate is easy money.Donny Samson knows better.He got his license at 22, just because a friend did it first and his wife said, "If he can do it, you can." His first two commissions paid for her engagement ring. He was hooked.But building a career is one thing. Building a company is another. When his dad handed him the keys to Samson Properties and made him CEO in 2019, Donny had to learn fast what separates a great realtor from a great leader. Spoiler: it's not the same skillset. He hired the wrong managers. He watched a title company he co-owned spend years digging out from bad hires and broken trust. He navigated a housing crash, a national lawsuit, and a real estate market that has posted record low sales three years in a row. And he kept going.Today Samson Properties is the number one brokerage in the DMV, with 6,500 agents across 49 offices. They built their own title company. They run on a 100% commission model. And Donny still shows up to teach in a different office every Wednesday.We covered:→ Why 83% of realtors don't make it past five years and what brokerages owe them→ How the private listings controversy is quietly hurting buyers and sellers→ What the NAR lawsuit actually changed (and what it didn't)→ Why he'd rather leave a manager seat empty for six months than hire the wrong person→ How he thinks about growth without losing what made the company worth growingThe thing that stuck with me most from this conversation: Donny never stopped thinking like a realtor. Even as CEO, he's still thinking about the person sitting across the table trying to buy or sell their biggest asset. That perspective is rare. It's also, I think, exactly why Samson keeps growing.Donny, thank you for being so open and for sharing your passion for this industry. I also appreciate you speaking directly about topics that many people in your position might avoid.

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.

In this episode of Property and Paper Live, Dawn Rickabaugh breaks down a real-world note deal she sourced from Craigslist and explains how understanding seller financing, time value of money, and human dynamics can turn an “uninvestable” situation into a high-performing asset.If you'd like to take advantage of the limited time offer for 50% off her book, 'Note Investing for Newbies' click HERE and use the code NEWB50 at checkout.
