Every month you wait, someone else wins...


Hello Reader,

Most note investors will never tell you this.

The deals that made me the most money were not the ones I spent weeks analyzing. They were the ones I almost walked away from.

The ones that felt uncomfortable, unfamiliar and outside what I had done before. The ones that made me learn new strategies.

This week I am breaking down a structure called a Contract for Deed.

It is one of the most powerful tools in note investing and one of the most misunderstood.

Notes Conceptđź§ 

Most people think there is just one way to buy or sell a house.

Buyer gets a mortgage with a bank, everybody shows up to closing to sign a stack of papers and seller gets a big check.

A Contract for Deed works completely differently.

It is an arrangement where the buyer makes monthly payments directly to the seller but the seller keeps the legal title to the property until the buyer pays it off completely.

Here is what makes this powerful for note investors:

  • Title stays with the seller until the final payment is made
  • Buyer gets equitable title meaning they have the right to use the property and build equity
  • If the buyer stops paying the seller can often reclaim the property faster than a traditional foreclosure
  • No bank needed just two people making an agreement
  • Creates a note that can be sold to investors just like any other performing note

Hey Reader, Better Mortgage and Coinbase just made their token-backed mortgage program broadly available. The headline is obviously going to be: “Use Bitcoin to buy a house.” But as a note investor, that is not the part I find most interesting. I’m looking at the debt structure. Here’s what they built. The borrower gets a traditional conforming first mortgage. Then there is a second loan used to fund the down payment. That second loan is secured by the borrower’s pledged Bitcoin and a second...

Hey Reader, Last week, the City of St. Louis filed a lawsuit against a real estate investor over a strategy called the “slow flip.” The idea sounds simple. Buy inexpensive homes. Sell them to buyers using a contract for deed (Check out an article I wrote about this). Let the buyer make monthly payments toward ownership. In theory, this can create a path to homeownership for people who may not qualify for a traditional mortgage. But according to the lawsuit, there was a major problem. The City...
