How To Stack Checks & Create Cashflow in 2026 with Notes

Wed, 11 Feb 2026 19:18:58 GMT

Unlocking Wealth: Why 2026 is the Year of the "Lien Lord"

Are you tired of the "Three Ts" of real estate—Toilets, Tenants, and Trash outs? In a market where traditional deals are drying up and competition is fierce, seasoned investor Scott Carson is showing both new and experienced investors how to stop being a landlord and start being the bank. Welcome to the world of note investing, where you can stack massive cash flow and collect six-figure checks by purchasing distressed debt directly from banks at steep discounts.

Whether you're looking to supercharge your self-directed IRA or find a passive way to exit the fix-and-flip grind, this episode dives deep into real-world case studies—from $300-a-month steady cash flow to $250,000 gross profits on a single deal. It’s time to move past the outdated strategies of the 90s and learn how to leverage AI and bank relationships to build a premier deal flow in today's economy.

Key Takeaways from the Workshop:

Becoming the Bank: Note investing allows you to earn above-average returns without the headaches of physical property management by purchasing first-lien mortgages at 70% of the value or less.

Direct Bank Deal Flow: Learn how to bypass the MLS and foreclosure auctions by getting deal lists directly from the 5,000+ registered banks and 19,000+ lending institutions that need to move bad debt off their books.

Diverse Exit Strategies: Discover 11 different ways to profit, including rehabbing the borrower to reinstate payments for long-term cash flow, offering "cash for keys" to gain equity, or foreclosing to sell the property as a fix-and-flip.

Funding with OPM: You don't need millions to start; Carson explains how to use Other People’s Money (OPM) or self-directed IRAs to fund deals, allowing for tax-free growth and infinite rates of return.

Modern Marketing & AI: Stay ahead of the competition by utilizing AI tools and automated marketing strategies designed for the 2026 market to identify "duds" during due diligence and find the best "cherry-picked" notes.

The "sexy side" of real estate isn't about swinging a hammer; it's about owning the paper. If you're ready to stop chasing deals and start having banks send them to you, join the upcoming Austin Virtual Note Buying Workshop from February 27th to March 1st. With a 100% money-back guarantee and a tuition refund if you close a deal in your first six months, there’s no reason to stay on the sidelines.

EP 320 – The Extra 5%

Sat, 11 Aug 2018 10:05:00 GMT

Two of the biggest things that separate successful people from most others out there wanting to find success are consistency and doing the extra 5%. That extra 5% may not seem like a lot, but if you add that up throughout the day when you’re doing one more little productive thing, one more share, and one more little post, it adds up. In our world today, it has gotten easier to do extra. It used to be harder when we didn’t have social media and you had to write letters. Sometimes we are such in a spoiled state that we just sit here sit here and expect people to show up. You can’t expect people to show up. You got to go out and carve it. Seize the opportunity and do a little bit more and share a little bit more about what you do. Scott discusses how the extra 5% of activities can help you find success exponentially faster.

The great thing about coming to an event like the Podcast Movement is that you learn different tricks and different tools from other experts and peers.

They say when you do something like a podcast, you have to be ready to be authentic. You have to have your own original concepts, your own original story. You have to put yourself out there and you have to be somebody that some people can relate with. In other words, you have to be you. You have to maintain saying, “This is who I am. This is who I’m going to be and I’m going to consistently deliver you this exact same content on a regular basis.”

Tue, 26 Jun 2018 10:15:00 GMT

Something everybody struggles with is the aspect of going bigger in your business. We all want to go big and do big things. A lot of the real estate seminars or gurus don’t prepare you to do big things. They prepare you for the one-off asset and they’re not helping you in the long run to really go big. They’re not helping you scale your business. Scaling is very important and you need to be focused on it initially from the get go because you should start with the end in mind. If you want to build a business, you have to build a big foundation. Challenge yourself to do bigger things because if you miss, you can still do amazing things with some big stuff and you’re still going to grow a much more exponentially larger than if you’re just willing to do a little bit. Scott discusses the importance of growing your note game bigger to take advantage of opportunities.

Mon, 25 Jun 2018 10:00:00 GMT

June 30th is a National Social Media Day. It’s important because of the fact that everything is all based on marketing these days. If you’re going to be successful at something, it all starts with marketing. You could have the greatest product you, the greatest idea, but if you don’t know how to market or how to use marketing to move that product and get the word out with whatever product, service, event, or whatever it is you have, you’re failing. National Social Media Day has been around for a while. There have been cities that have been celebrating it years.

EP 293 – Blame Me For Your Failures

Sun, 24 Jun 2018 10:00:00 GMT

We are all responsible for our own success. Some people always look for somebody to blame for not having success in real estate. You got to know you can’t have success without failure in any type of investing. If you’re in a position of not having the type of success that you want and you’re not in the place that you want to be, you have two choices. You can either just continue along that same path of settling or staying in your comfort zone, or you can take action and do something about it. Embrace that failure and if it doesn’t work, pivot and go from there. You’re the one who’s making the choices on a day in, day out basis. People that are successful are the ones that are going out there and they’re giving it a shot, making offers, doing due diligence, sending emails out to their database, doing the marketing and all this business. At some point, you have to take blame for your failures and realize that the decisions are all up to you.

EP 291 – When Life Throws You Curve Balls with Gail Villanueva and Cody Cox

Thu, 21 Jun 2018 10:00:00 GMT

Gail Villanueva and Cody Cox discuss some things you could do when life throws you curve balls, because in life, sometimes you have to be Semper Gumby. If you aren’t flexible and adaptable both in life and in the note business, then it’s going to be very difficult. Curve balls can happen sometimes, both as personal and professional events. From a note perspective, you go through training, you build your processes, and you have this plan in mind when you enter into purchasing a note. You begin with the end in mind, and so you know where you’d like to go. However, deals don’t always follow the path that you’ve envisioned from the beginning, and so you have to deal with those changes as they happen.

EP 289 – What You Should Know About Nonperforming Firsts And Seconds with Patty Ped and Bill Griesmer

Tue, 19 Jun 2018 10:00:00 GMT

In the note business, the primary intent is to let the borrowers keep their home and happy about their choices. When you’re a nonperforming first note holder, you are first in line, you have a lot of flexibility going there, and you have a lot of options that you could provide the borrower to ensure that they can keep their home. Patty Ped of Aider Financials shares it’s more challenging to provide the help that they want to in a second mortgage rather than the first, and so the first is a better option for them. With nonperforming seconds, with the ROI being more, the risk is also more. Join Patty Ped and Bill Griesmer as they discuss the differences between the second space and the first space, the way you deal with things, your due diligence, your focus, the amount of time and work you would spend on the borrower and the note itself, the servicing, managing it, the entire thing.

Fri, 01 Jun 2018 10:00:00 GMT

Girls at a young age get the most positive attention for being good students. Upon reaching adolescence, the need for acceptance and to feel valued kicks in. Girls then become very risk averse.

EP 276 – The Evolution Of The Real Estate Investor

Wed, 23 May 2018 10:00:00 GMT

The real estate evolution is underway. People aren’t showing up as much as they used to when it comes to real estate investment clubs. Well-established groups are seeing a decline in attendance. It’s hard to put butts in seats at events and that’s unfortunate – but there’s a lot of contributing factors. One, you’ve got to work constantly to market to people and to communicate with them. A lot of investment clubs are still doing the same thing that worked for them decades ago, but what they refuse to admit is that you’ve got to evolve and use technology. Real estate investors will only evolve as they grow in experience and knowledge. It’s a hard pill to swallow, for sure, but if you truly want to succeed – or even survive – you need to learn as much as possible from this generation.

EP 274 – Nonprime Mortgage Lending’s Impact On Real Estate And Note Markets

Tue, 15 May 2018 10:00:00 GMT

Let’s face it: no matter how it’s phrased, nonprime is still subprime. With the recent appearance of nonprime mortgage lending, it is important to examine what it means to the real estate market and note markets. The subprime mortgage lending industry suddenly vanished after the Great Recession, but is now getting reinvented – get this, with a really original new name for it: nonprime. Right now, a couple of big firms are offering mortgages with less than perfect credit. How can we, as business owners, make sure that we get the bigger part of the bargain this time and not those guys in Wall Street? Take a listen, and don’t let history repeat itself.

Ep 271 – Re-Performing Notes: The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly

Tue, 24 Apr 2018 10:00:00 GMT

Jennifer Dagenhart, VP of portfolio management at We Close Notes, discusses some fun and exciting case studies they did on re-performing notes and their due diligence. Jennifer manages a huge chunk of the portfolio, especially on the stuff they bought in the last year, and they usually get about 70% of them re-performing with the borrowers. If you’re not an investor and don’t understand what it is you’re selling, you’re really just a joker broker trying to sell stuff. You don’t want to be a broker. Most people get burnt out and get blocked relatively quickly in this game, so that’s why it’s important to understand how you can raise capital and buy some of these deals yourself to make good money.

Portland firefighter, Neil Clasen, has been real estate investor selling off rentals for the last fifteen years. However, he wanted to look for cash flow rather than long-term deals so he sold off his business and got into notes. He said he likes helping people and the note business cash flow gives him the opportunity to make some money and also to help people who are willing to work with him. He talks about that that he closed in less than 90 days. He said your first note deal may not be a good deal, but it’s priceless on the education side. You learn more from getting your hands dirty and doing things than from any type of book or coaching. He advises making sure you know what you’re talking about because people are going to be willing to work with you no matter who you are. If you’re willing to take to make the deal happen, so are they.

Sun, 22 Apr 2018 10:00:00 GMT

If you have been in the note closing industry, you know that it is a number’s game. In the last 30 days, how many individual posts have you done on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn and Pinterest? How many videos have you published in YouTube, Vimeo and Facebook? All the numbers that you get from these questions will immediately tell you how well are you doing with your business.

EP 266 – Using The Marketing Tools of Starbucks Coffee

Thu, 19 Apr 2018 10:00:00 GMT

Starbucks Coffee has 8,000 branches all over the world, making it an interesting case study for marketing. Having nine people run their social media generates $22M of company revenue for 300,000 plus employees and they are using the same Instagram and Facebook app that you use to attain this huge amount of marketing. It doesn’t matter if you are a solopreneur or a startup investor, you are going to start the same way they did, by yourself. The difference is you are more agile and mobile when you build your network and use the same marketing tools they did. Combine that with focusing on what you’re good at, whether its brewing coffee or closing fix and flips, the key is to keep consistency on that focus until you reach the top.

Ep 264 – Leveraging Events To Grow

Tue, 17 Apr 2018 10:00:00 GMT

When you go to an event, the best thing you can do is learn as many tips as you can from the speakers as well as from your fellow investors that are in attendance.

Wed, 14 Mar 2018 10:00:00 GMT

Trying to build credibility by doing deals with your own funds before you borrow someone else’s money is a big misconception. There’s nothing wrong with self-funding a deal, but if you’ve got a limited amount of funds invested in a deal and don’t follow up on raising private capital, you can’t make bids once a good offer comes around because you don’t have any more funds to use. Scott shares some tips and nuggets on how you can raise private capital to fund your next note deals.

Sat, 10 Mar 2018 10:00:00 GMT

One of the most important tools a note investor has is a huge database that he can pull out leads from.

Most note closers who have full time jobs find it difficult to stay consistent in the marketing, but Cody Cox found a way to keep the note closing wheel rolling instead of reinventing it. He has been in the mortgage scene for 35 years and is a successful note closer of double digit deals for three straight years.
