Note Night In America

Hey Note Closers! Scott Carson here, ready to share some hard-earned wisdom to help you avoid the pitfalls many note investors fall into. Based on two decades of experience, I've identified the 11 most common mistakes, and I'm here to show you how to sidestep them and unlock true note investing success.The 11 Biggest Mistakes:This episode isn't about bashing anyone; it's about empowering you with the knowledge to avoid costly errors and maximize your returns. Here are the 11 mistakes to avoid:-Only Bidding Based on Bank Balance: Don't let your available funds limit your bidding. Explore multiple funding options and bid aggressively.-Not Marketing for Private Money: Actively seek private money lenders. Don't wait for the "perfect" deal; start marketing before you have a deal secured.-Not Building an Email Database: Develop an email list of contacts and investors to stay top-of-mind and consistently promote deals.-Only Bidding on One Asset: Bid on multiple properties to increase your chances of acceptance.-Ma

But when I do find a great Texas opportunity, the speed and velocity of capital make it worth the higher cost. Plus, you can often get a deal completed in as little as 21 days—no need to wait six or 12 months.This means you have to be faster than a speeding bullet. You'll be able to use your funds to complete another deal quickly—which is like wi
