EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:Introduction to Note Investing: Scott Carson, the "note guy," specializes in buying discounted distressed mortgage notes from banks and hedge funds, aiming to work with homeowners.
Finding Note Opportunities: Investors can find notes through foreclosure lists and by contacting banks directly. But targeting the right departments, such as special assets managers, secondary marketing managers, and whole loan traders, is the key.
Evaluating Notes for Investment: Key factors to consider when evaluating notes include payment history and property value.
Key Considerations in Note Buying: Investors should avoid properties in non-lender-friendly states and focus more on occupied properties within areas with a population of over 50,000.
Getting Started in Note Investing: A good starting point for new investors is to use self-directed IRA funds. Learning how to raise capital is also a great way to start when an investor has little to no personal cash.
Closing on Notes and Due Diligence: Closing on notes can take 7-30 days, depending on the deal.
Top States for Note Investing: Ohio, Michigan, and Indiana are Scott's top three states for note investing. He also considers North and South Carolina as good states to invest in.
Teaching Note Investing Strategies: With his data-driven and practical approach, Scott focuses on helping investors start their note-buying business without having to spend years of training and owning a property.
The Appeal of Note Investing: Note investing is strategic, scalable, and landlord-free, providing consistent, passive income with less hassle.
