What Will Your Dash Mean?
I just got back from spending some time in Minnesota with my Mom to attend a celebration of the life of my aunt and uncle who recently passed. The minister shared a poem called "The Dash" about how we celebrate the lives of people (or the dash) between their births and deaths. It's been over 30 years since I visited the state where I was born and the amount of memories created and shared amongst my extended family of uncles, aunts, cousins, and family friends had me thinking a lot about the poem and what it represents for us as entrepreneurs and real estate investors.

Why Note Investing Is A Lot Like Baseball
Why is note investing a lot like baseball and that national pastime? You don't have to be a fan of the diamond to understand that winning as a note investor is a team game and not a one-man band. Scott shares why you need a team to help you succeed and why it takes practice, patience, and striking out to become an expert note investor. He discusses why so many investors fail: they don't invest in themselves or give themselves the grace of understanding that anything great takes time and commitment.Watch the original video HERE!Book a call with Scott HERE!Love the show?

Is Graceland Facing Foreclosure or Fraud?
Is Graceland really facing a May foreclosure auction or is it a case of mortgage fraud? USA Today released an article talking about how a private Memphis lender is trying to foreclose on Elvis home by presenting a deed of trust for $3.8 Million that was supposedly lent to Lisa Marie back in 2018. With her death last year, the company is claiming that the loan was not paid back and filed a foreclosure action in Shelby County (Memphis), TN to take back the iconic landmark.READ THE FULL STORY AT https://snip.ly/gracelandElvis granddaughter and heir of Graceland, Riley Keogh, is fighting the sale claiming that the deed of trust is fraud and that the money was never borrowed. What screams fraud (and the same would be said of any private lender) is that there is no lien or deed filed on the Shelby County Recorder office. This would be the first thing that any private lender would do to protect their position. Naussany Investments and Private Lending in Missouri is the company filing the foreclosure action that was delayed by Keogh's legal team.We dive deeper into the story and share how we researched this story in the full episode.Watch the full video HERE!Book a call with Scott HERE!Love the show?

That's where the CREDiQ monthly report on payment status comes into effect!Multifamily distress nearly DOUBLED in a month!!! from 3.7% to 7.2% READ THE FULL REPORT HERE!Most of it was due to a large $1.75 billion loan ($561,000/unit) backed by Parkmerced, a 3,221-unit multifamily- which has been underperforming below break-even @ 0.47x DSCR and 83.5% occupancy.Retail’s third consecutive distress rate increase earned them the number two slot while relinquishing their leadership position from the March report.

Understanding Amoritization Schedules When Buying Performing Notes
When you look at buying performing notes, it's not only important to look at the potential cash flow of the deal but also to understand the amortization calendar and how long you can hold on to that note when using investors' funds. The later the term of the mortgage often means the sooner you need to be out of the deal.Scott breaks down how investors can get in trouble if they don't run the numbers to identify when they need to get out of a performing note when the principal balance gets closer to the funding amount of the deal. He'll show you why it's much better to be buying that note on the front half of the mortgage term instead of the last half and why paying 80% for performing paper is not always a good idea.Watch the original video breakdown HERE!Book a call with Scott HERE!Love the show?
