  • Green Acres Case Study - Vacant Reverse Mortgage

    Green Acres Case Study - Vacant Reverse Mortgage
    Mar 28 2025

    Hey Note Closers! Scott Carson here, taking you on a real-world adventure to analyze a potential reverse mortgage deal in Georgetown, Texas. This isn't just about numbers; it's about getting boots on the ground and seeing the property firsthand.


    The "Green Acres" Deal:

    This case study focuses on a reverse mortgage located on Green Acres Drive in Georgetown, TX. The property is a three-bedroom, two-bath home on a third of an acre. The borrower has passed away, and the note is now available for purchase.


    Key Aspects Covered:

    • On-Site Due Diligence: I share my experience of driving to the property and conducting a walkthrough. This includes assessing the neighborhood, the condition of the property, and any potential red flags.
    • Property Condition Assessment: We discuss the condition of the property, including the need for a new roof, sheetrock repairs, and general updates.
    • Market Analysis: I compare the property to nearby comps and discuss the challenges of valuing properties in rural areas with limited zoning.
    • Reverse Mortgage Considerations: We explore the unique aspects of reverse mortgages, including the foreclosure process and potential exit strategies.
    • The Decision: Based on the on-site assessment and market analysis, I share my decision on whether or not to pursue this deal.


    Why This Matters:

    This episode emphasizes the importance of going beyond the numbers and conducting thorough on-site due diligence. You'll learn how to assess the condition of a property, evaluate the surrounding neighborhood, and identify potential challenges that could impact your investment.

  • Common Sense Underwriting: Avoid Note Investing Disasters!

    Common Sense Underwriting: Avoid Note Investing Disasters!
    Mar 27 2025

    Hey Note Closers! Scott Carson here, diving into the essential topic of common sense underwriting. This episode is all about avoiding the pitfalls that can turn a seemingly great deal into a costly mistake. We're going beyond the spreadsheets and ROI calculators to focus on practical, real-world due diligence.


    Key Takeaways:

    • The Importance of Loan-Level Bids: Don't fall for the "percentage across the board" approach. Insist on loan-level bids to accurately assess the value of each asset.
    • Don't Be an A-Hole: Treat sellers with respect and professionalism. Submitting unrealistic offers or failing to follow instructions will damage your reputation.
    • Know Your Market: Don't bid on assets in areas you don't understand or wouldn't want to own. Focus on markets with a decent population and available resources.
    • Don't Fall in Love with the Property: Take the emotion out of the equation. Focus on the numbers and the potential for profit, not the aesthetics of the property.
    • Look Beyond the Numbers: Don't rely solely on spreadsheets. Consider factors like the condition of the property, the borrower's history, and potential legal issues.


    Actionable Advice:

    This episode is packed with actionable advice to help you make smarter investment decisions. We'll discuss:

    • How to assess the value of a note beyond the numbers
    • How to identify potential red flags
    • How to build a strong team of professionals to support your due diligence efforts
