Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Did You Know Can You Turn Your Commissions Into Notes?
Q: In terms of lead generation for notes, what are some less expensive ways to generate leads that still show results?
The panel members emphasized working with investors who fund rehabs and then sell with seller financing, as well as leveraging networks and partnerships rather than relying solely on direct mail; this approach can provide deal flow and funding while keeping costs down.
How Jay Davis Bought 3 Duplexes with Owner Financing
Q: Jay, would you walk us through how you approached the first seller-financed deal and what you said to the owner to make it happen?
Jay describes proposing a six-unit office building with no money down by leveraging the owner's connection to a local bank and demonstrating that a seller-financed structure could generate a favorable outcome for both sides, including a down payment and a plan to finance through a non-traditional route.
Reverse Mortgages, Distressed Properties, and the Power of Note Investing
Q: Did you say it burned down before you bought it or after you bought the note?
The loan was originated earlier, the main borrower had died in 2019, and the property burned down in 2024 after the note was acquired, creating a complex insurance and collateral scenario that requires proper loss-payee documentation and lender coordination.
The FSBO Advantage - Pro Tips from a Real Estate Agent and Positioning with Owner Will Carry
Q: how do you prevent appraisal gaps?
Use an appraisal-gap prevention kit, document upgrades (including invisible ones), provide comps, and present a well-supported price justification to the appraiser.
