As traditional mortgage lending tightens and rental returns compress, note investing is quietly making a comeback. In this episode of The Real Wealth Show, Kathy Fettke sits down with Eddie Speed, a 45-year veteran of the note investing business, to explain why now may be one of the best cycles in decades to "be the bank."

Eddie breaks down why seller-financed notes are thriving as loan origination volumes collapse, how investors are earning strong interest income without managing tenants, and what separates high-quality notes from risky deals. They also explore why underserved borrowers are driving demand, how underwriting protects investors, and why many investors are shifting from rentals and syndications into notes.

If you're looking for passive income, diversification, and insight into one of real estate's lesser-known asset classes, this episode offers a timely look at why note investing is gaining momentum again in 2026.
