In this episode from the Stay Ready Real Estate Podcast, Emeka sits down with Scott Carson, known nationally as "The Note Guy," to break down the world of distressed mortgage note investing. Scott shares how he transitioned from a traditional real estate investor and banker into buying non-performing notes directly from banks at major discounts. He explains how anyone, regardless of background, can get started in note investing using self-directed IRAs, networking, and education. We also talk about the risks, tax implications, and how this strategy can be more passive than owning rentals. If you’re looking for a less hands-on path to building wealth through real estate, this is a must-listen.

Scott Carson has been a real estate investor for over 20 years, primarily in the note investing space. He is known across the country as "the Note Guy" and has closed on thousands of nonperforming note deals from banks and lenders. He also assists other investors dive into the sexy side of real estate by becoming note investors as well. He calls Austin, TX home.
