Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Why He Chose Memory Care Over Multifamily or Self-Storage
Q: Can you share a little bit about the deal structure and what investors should know?
They are raising capital for two separate class A and class B homes, open to accredited investors, with a plan that includes a 15-month construction period followed by nine months to stabilize, delivering double-digit cash-on-cash returns over the full hold period and a refinance-based equity kicker after five years.
12–15% Returns Without Tenants? Note Investing 101
Q: What are the advantages of partial note purchases?
Partial purchases let you fund only a portion of the payments you need, reducing upfront capital, spreading risk, and still capturing ongoing income until the note matures or is refinanced.
12–15% Returns Without Tenants? Note Investing 101
Q: How do you determine what note to buy and at what price?
We look for notes bought at a discount to the unpaid balance, assess borrower qualification, equity in the property, and the stability of payments. The goal is to secure a favorable cash-on-cash return while maintaining risk controls.
12–15% Returns Without Tenants? Note Investing 101
Q: What exactly is a note, and how does it differ from buying a house with traditional financing?
A note is a promissory payment obligation attached to a mortgage or deed of trust. Investors buy the right to receive those monthly payments rather than the underlying property itself, which allows them to earn income without managing the property or tenants.
20 Minutes a Day to Financial Freedom (with Coach Chad Carson )
Q: What should listeners do this week to start applying these goal-setting methods?
Start with a Sunday 20–30 minute review, capture open loops, and map out high-leverage weekly actions aligned to quarterly and yearly outcomes.
