Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep. 255: Terms, Not Banks: How Chris Prefontaine Built a Real Estate Empire Without Traditional Financing
Q: Walk me through your real estate journey. How did you get into it and what was your investing model when you first started out?
The guest explains a long career starting from a family business exposure to real estate, evolving through building homes and managing a brokerage, and ultimately adapting to creative financing. He emphasizes moving away from traditional loans, embracing owner financing, subject-to deals, and lease purchases as core strategies, with a focus on three paydays and later wealth stacking.
Ep. 257: Becoming the Bank: Scott Carson on Buying Mortgage Notes Instead of Property
Q: How do you determine discount levels and when to bid on a note?
Bids depend on how much equity the property holds, the loan balance, and actual value; discounts range from around 50-70% of the loan balance depending on state foreclosure timelines and equity, with flexibility after due diligence and price negotiation.
Ep. 257: Becoming the Bank: Scott Carson on Buying Mortgage Notes Instead of Property
Q: What are the main risks and how do you manage them when buying distressed notes?
Main risk is needing cash on hand since financing notes is often cash-based; due diligence like taxes, title, and collateral documentation is critical, and having a plan for foreclosures or workouts is essential.
Ep. 257: Becoming the Bank: Scott Carson on Buying Mortgage Notes Instead of Property
Q: How did you get into the creative finance space and learn about buying notes instead of buying property?
He describes an apprenticeship in origination that evolved into note investing after the 2008 crash, learning from mentors, and recognizing a unique opportunity to acquire distressed debt directly from banks.
Ep. 257: Becoming the Bank: Scott Carson on Buying Mortgage Notes Instead of Property
Q: What makes you wanna take time out of your busy day to hop on podcasts like these to share your story?
He believes podcasting is the top platform to educate people about note investing, clarifying misconceptions, and reaching a global audience, which makes sharing valuable even if it helps just one person.
