Deal or Dud? Discovering Red Flags in Due Diligence
In this episode, we dissect a deal that started with so much promise but quickly devolved into a non-performing note nightmare. Learn from my (mis)adventures as we uncover the importance of due diligence and what to do when a "performing" note turns out to be a dud. Get ready for some real talk and actionable insights that could save you from making a costly mistake!Initial Assessment: The deal involves a property in Toledo, Ohio, with a $106,000 UPB and a sales price of $110,000. The interest rate is 8.9%, with P&I payments of $845.71 a month. Sounds good, right?The Red Flags: Concerns arise when the previous value was $56,000, raising questions about the escalated sales price. Plus, current market rent is around $1,000 a month.Making an Offer: I dove in with an offer at $40,000, aiming for a sweet yield. But is it too good to be true?Collateral File Deep Dive: We explore the collateral file, including underwriting, property insurance, closing documents, and servicing history. Time to put on our detective hats!BPO Blues: The exterior BPO comes in at around $60,000, which is lower than expected. Could this be a sign of trouble?Servicing History Shenanigans: The servicing history reveals a lack of consistent payments and late charges. Houston, we have a problem!The Seller Confession: The seller admits the note is not performing and apologizes for the misrepresentation. Honesty is the best policy... eventually.Foreclosure Fears: With the borrower making zero payments, foreclosure looms. Can we turn this ship around, or is it destined to sink?Cash for Keys Conundrum: Considering offering cash for keys to expedite the process and avoid costly foreclosure. A little sugar goes a long way!The Verdict: Based on the BPO and payment history, this deal is currently a dud. But with some savvy negotiation and a bit of luck, we might just salvage it.So, there you have it, folks! Another episode, another lesson learned.

How To Make an Infinite Return on a Performing Note Deal in Toledo
In this episode of The Note Closers Show, Scott Carson dives into the world of infinite returns through a fascinating case study. This episode explores how to achieve above-average returns by strategically investing in performing or non-performing notes. Let's break down the key elements of this deal and understand the approach to evaluating such opportunities.Strategic Note Investment Opportunity: A performing note in Toledo, Ohio, is being offered at a significant discount, presenting an opportunity for a high return on investment. Initial due diligence is key to confirm updated valuations and potential upside.Leveraged for Strong Cash Flow: The note is owner-financed and has consistent cash flow, making it appealing. Understanding loan to value ratio and the potential future of rental revenue is crucial in determining if this deal is worth the investment.Infinite Return Potential Through Private Money: By utilizing private money lenders, the deal can be structured to minimize or eliminate the investor's personal capital, creating the potential for an infinite return on investment.Built-in Risk Mitigation Elements: The original loan included a title insurance policy, and adding a prepayment penalty can further protect against refinancing and ensure a minimum return even in early exit scenarios.Rehabbed Property with Appreciation Potential: The property has been recently rehabbed, and there is an increase in property value, as shown by a BPO. There is opportunity for refinancing and profit in the near future.This case study illustrates how to potentially achieve infinite returns through strategic note investing. By thoroughly analyzing deals, leveraging private money, and mitigating risks, investors can unlock significant profits. If you are looking to fund or buy deals like this one, then make sure to book a call with Scott to find out how you can start investing in the "Sexy Side of Real Estate" now!Watch the Original VIDEO HERE!Book a Call With Scott HERE!Sign up for the next FREE One-Day Note Class HERE!Sign up for the WCN Membership HERE!Sign up for the next Note Buying For Dummies Workshop HERE!Love the show?
