Ep 138 - Big profits from Short Term Notes | Scott Brown

Hard-money veteran Scott Brown joins Dave Putz and Nathan Turner to unpack the fast-moving world of short-term (6- to 18-month) real-estate notes—the bridge financing that keeps flippers and small developers moving while giving note buyers equity-like returns with note-level security.

• Why short-term?

• Deal filter in three bullets:

  1. Fixed‐cost rehabs only (no ground-up builds).

  2. Max 70 % ARV, verified by local broker price opinions, not borrower wish-lists.

  3. Exit must exist—listings, refi term sheets, or seasoned rental comps in hand.

• Risk killers Scott won’t skip

• Pricing today (June 2025)

• Secondary-market sweet spot

• Two red flags

• Action step: download Scott’s one-page Draw Inspection Checklist
