🎙️ How Scott Carson Bought $1 Billion in Distressed Debt — And Helped Homeowners Along the Way

Ever wondered how to become the bank and earn double-digit returns—without swinging a hammer or flipping houses?


In this episode of The Wisconsin Investor, we sit down with Scott Carson, founder of WeCloseNotes.com, who shares how he's purchased over $1 billion in distressed debt and created win-win outcomes for struggling homeowners.

🔑 What You’ll Learn:

• What note investing is and how it works (buying mortgage debt directly from banks at 40–60¢ on the dollar)

• Why you don’t need to fix the property—just “rehab the borrower”

• How Scott earned nearly 90% returns on a $12,000 note while helping a family avoid foreclosure

• The top strategies for working with borrowers, foreclosing when necessary, or reselling notes for profit

• The “sweet spot” for non-performing notes ($100K–$250K)

• How to source notes directly from special asset departments, LinkedIn, and whole loan traders

• How to fund deals through self-directed IRA investors (and how to find them)

• Why note investing might be the most overlooked path to passive income and real impact

💡 Scott’s approach proves you can create serious cash flow and do good in the process.
