The Canary in the Foreclosure Coal Mine: Tracking Harris County Foreclosures
4d ago00:42:09Tap to summarize🦅 The Foreclosure Canary in the Coal Mine: Sourcing Off-Market Deals & Private Capital in Harris County, TexasWelcome to another high-impact episode of Money Mondays on WeCloseNotes.com! In this training, Scott Carson—"The Note Guy"—reveals why Harris County, Texas (Houston) is the ultimate operational bellwether for the entire United States real estate market. As the largest county in Texas and the third-largest in the nation, Harris County acts as the literal "canary in a coal mine" for emerging economic shifts. Because Texas boasts the fastest non-judicial foreclosure timeline in the country, tracking the dominoes that fall here gives strategic note investors a massive head start over the rest of the market. Scott cracks open a live Harris County foreclosure tape featuring nearly 900 scheduled assets to demonstrate how to completely bypass emotionally exhausted homeowners and deal exclusively with institutional power players. You will learn how to filter out secondary noise like HOAs or untouchable mega-banks, isolate small regional lenders and private self-directed IRA accounts, and reverse-engineer public data to secure deeply discounted non-performing notes or pristine REO listings before they ever hit the open market! 📌 Key Takeaways & Episode HighlightsThe Ultimate National Bellwether: Trailing only LA County and Cook County in total population, Harris County is the first major metropolitan hub to signal national macro-real estate corrections and post-COVID foreclosure spikes. The High-Velocity Texas Advantage: While judicial states like Florida, New York, or New Jersey can drag foreclosures out for one to three years, Texas's rapid execution timeline makes its data an immediate reflection of active market health. Decoding the 40% Repeat Poster Metric: Scott reveals that roughly 40% of the 879 assets on the current month's list are "previous listings"—indicating structural delays like bankruptcies, short sales, or probate that signal highly motivated lenders ready to sell the debt. Filtering Out the Institutional Noise: Learn why seasoned "Lien Lords" instantly delete mega-institutions like Chase, Wells Fargo, and Bank of America from their spreadsheets to focus entirely on actionable, small-scale targets. Targeting the Private "Accidental" Lender: Scott demonstrates how to isolate individual private mortgagees and Self-Directed IRA accounts (such as Quest or Inspira Financial) from the public clerk records to find off-market wrap-around notes or seller-financed defaults. The Post-Auction Motivation Window: Discover the exact "backdoor" sequence for reaching out to listing trustees and attorneys the week after a failed auction, allowing you to submit rapid cash bids on fresh REO inventory. The Macro Data Surge: Texas foreclosures surged to over 4,700 across the state this past month—representing a sharp 16% month-over-month increase that highlights an unprecedented window of opportunity for liquid capital. 🛠️ Take Action & Master the Tape!Don't spend thousands of dollars on expensive direct mail campaigns when you can pinpoint highly motivated institutional sellers using public data.

How To Find: Money Burning a Hole In SDIRA Pockets?
2w ago00:36:52Tap to summarizeWelcome back to the Marketing for Money podcast series! In this special mid-series strategy episode, Scott Carson—"The Note Guy"—steps away from standard deal-scouting to drop an absolute masterclass on a highly specialized, private capital-raising recipe. If you’ve ever felt stuck chasing real estate funding using the same old "shotgun approach"—like sending cold yellow letters or door-knocking—this tactical blueprint is about to turn your private money sourcing completely on its head. Scott pulls back the curtain on how to extract a goldmine of hyper-targeted leads using public county records to find investors who have literally just had their investment cash returned to their Self-Directed IRAs. When a private lender’s mortgage is paid off or satisfied, that capital sits idle earning zero percent—meaning that money is officially "burning a hole in their pocket" and they are actively looking to deploy it into their next big deal. Grab your pen and paper, log into your local county portal, and learn exactly how to stop hunting for capital in the dark and start shooting fish in a barrel! 📌 Key Takeaways & Episode HighlightsMoving Beyond the "Shotgun Approach": Why standard capital sourcing like networking at massive REIA clubs, BNI groups, or blasting out generic foreclosure letters can often yield a low return on effort. The "Hole in the Pocket" Capital Theory: The average Self-Directed IRA investor holds a balance of roughly $180,000. Scott shows why you don't need hundreds of investors—you only need 5 or 6 targeted people to raise your first million dollars in private capital. The County Records Goldmine: A step-by-step navigation guide using NETR Online to bypass restricted property appraisal databases and tap directly into county clerk or recorder portals. Mastering the Public Data Codes: How to filter your public records search using specific industry keywords like Equity Trust, Quest Trust, or Inspira Trust as the Grantor or Grantee. Tracking "Release of Lien" Data: Scott walks live through Harris County (Houston) and Orange County (Orlando) to pinpoint the exact moment an IRA lender files a Release of Lien (REL) or a Satisfaction of Mortgage. Extracting Real Mailing Addresses: Learn how to read the actual recorded mortgage documents to bypass corporate custodian addresses in Ohio and find the private investor’s true residency or legal trust address. The Perfect Post-Payoff Script: How to draft a highly professional, low-pressure postcard or letter campaign celebrating their recent mortgage payoff and positioning your upcoming asset tape as their next high-yield home. 🛠️ Take Action & Scale Your Private Funding Today!Don't let your note investing or real estate syndication business stall out due to a lack of private funding. Put this exact blueprint to work today: 📊 Audit Your Local Market: Open up NETRonline.com right now, pick a high-volume target county, and run Scott's exact 18-month Satisfaction of Mortgage tracking method to build your hot investor list. 📞 Schedule a Capital Raising Review: Got a massive note tape or a commercial deal ready to fund, but need expert guidance to structure the private money collateral?

The Hidden Strategy to Attract Self-Directed IRA Investors Fast with Chris Foster from Postcardmania
May 1100:54:48Tap to summarizeStop Screaming Into the Void: Why Direct Mail is Your Secret Weapon in 2026Are you tired of flushing your marketing budget down the digital drain? In an age where we are bombarded by over 10,000 digital ads every single day, your message is likely getting lost in the noise. Whether you are a real estate investor hunting for distressed notes or a small business owner trying to scale, the "spray and pray" method of broadcast marketing is a recipe for burnout. In this powerhouse episode, we sit down with Chris Foster, Chief Passion Evangelist at PostcardMania, to discuss why the most "old school" marketing tactic is actually the most high-tech and effective way to grow your business today. We dive deep into the psychology of why physical mail triggers a stronger brain response than email, how to turn $1 of marketing into $10 of revenue, and the "Website to Mailbox" technology that tracks your anonymous site visitors and sends them a postcard automatically. Stop waiting for "proof of concept"—the path is already paved. It’s time to fuel your business with consistent, targeted, and credible marketing. Key Takeaways & Strategy NotesThe Psychology of the Physical: Direct mail touches the limbic system (the brain's emotional center), creating a sensory experience that digital ads cannot match. While emails are forgotten instantly, physical mail stays in a home for an average of 17 days. Direct vs. Broadcast Marketing: Stop paying for billboards (broadcast) and hoping the right person sees them. Use targeted lists to reach specific individuals—like self-directed IRA investors or distressed property owners—directly in their mailboxes. The 80/20 Rule of Follow-Up: 80% of sales happen after the fifth contact.
