Owner Financing & Note Investing Podcast with Dawn Rickabaugh

A woman returns to the show on behalf of her sister who owns a rental property in Ojai, CA. The tenants are offering to buy the property and we discuss her options. I also share a story where I didn't verify where a down payment came from, and the way it played out, I barely broke even instead of making an easy $30K.

My dear Robin in Texas, who has been a loyal and generous follower for years, comes on to talk in depth about her struggles to deal with bad tenants, rehab following eviction, and a potential exit using seller financing to sell the mobile on land to someone who needs a home. This is great for helping real estate and note investors think through the various options, get their head on straight, and...

One of the most rewarding things in February's Property & Paper LIVE Q&A training was talking to someone in CA whose sister really needed some help figuring out what to do after the Altadena fire took her home, insurance turning out to be insufficient, and her "cash cow" rental in Ojai now feeling like a noose around her neck. We talk about some ideas about how she turn that around and pos...

Yes, out of every owner financed transaction, a new little note 'baby' is born. Whether it is healthy and strong, or frail and sickly is dependent upon the genetics, the DNA, of the note and the circumstances under which it was conceived. I guess it's nature vs nurture ;-) Linktr.ee/DawnRickabaugh NoteQueen.com Apply for Mentorship

We are ramping up to be ready for whatever 2025 brings.

What would be more painful? Theoretically missing out on some (maybe phantom?) upside? Or losing the equity you have on the table right now? Even if you wait for prices to go higher, and they do, that will mean everything else will cost a lot more, too, so will you really be that much more ahead? If you don't feel ready to weather a financial storm, are unsure of your W2 job, etc, it could be time...

Real estate sellers, landlords and those who have no equity and just want out from under their payments, this class is for you. Many high equity sellers and tired landlords are de-risking and using the installment sale (IRC 453), seller financing to: sell quickly and easily for the highest possible price defer most of their capital gains (use the 1031 exchange to defer all capital gains) earn inte...

This episode is RICH with important information you need to know to survive the note business.

But for those buying notes, there's more to know that you might imagine! Make sure to get these note business insider tips, and pick up a copy of my seller financing course for...

Jeff brings up a good point here... attorneys, title companies and real estate brokers might know how to walk you through the mechanics of a seller financed real estate transaction, but unless they actively buy mortgage notes for their own portfolio, they don't know how to help you put the deal together in a way that makes it the most valuable... they have NO IDEA what your note would sell for on...

In this session of Property & Paper Live, Ken brings up a pending foreclosure. He really wants the property, and is considering bidding at the Trustee Sale. There is a 2nd that is in danger of being completely wiped off. He could offer to buy the 2nd at a discount and foreclose from that position to greatly increase his opening bid and almost guarantee he'd get the property with the opening bi...

Positioning a portfolio for more cash flow before retirement kicks in. Looking at getting some property free and clear, and converting one or two into notes.

I am reminded of a story that Gordon Moss told me years ago... Derisking and being very conservative allowed him to sail through the great financial crash of 2008, whilst his counterparts lost everything during the blood bath. We don't know what's coming, so position accordingly. If real estate prices drop by 30%, or if rents go down while taxes and insurance keep going up would stress you out, it...

Earlier this month we had a series of solar flares during a few days of high geomagnetic storms. If you haven't already prepared yourself to be out of power for up to a month, this is your wake up call. Can you feed your family, filter water for them, keep them warm and safe?

Are there other ways to put deals together that get us around some of the dicey scenarios with real estate and the mortgage industry? We cover a lot of ground in this episode, but an interesting conversation came up about the idea of doing a lease option instead of making a loan. What do you think?

With higher mortgage interest rates, taking over bank loans written at 3% and 4% are all the rage. Everywhere you look investors are getting under contract with subject to seller financing terms, and they flip them to unsuspecting buyers for tens of thousands of dollars. What they fail to realize is that there is 1) a high chance of acceleration (triggering the 'due on sale'), 2) a high chance of...

A new financial paradigm is being built as we speak and I want you to be ready for it. We normally talk about passive income via our property and paper (real estate and note investments), and there are equivalents in the crypto blockchain space. Did you know that Stanford just invested 7% of their endowment funds into Bitcoin? Things are changing, and changing fast.
