In this episode of the Real Estate Notes Show, hosts Dave Putz (JKP Holdings) and Nathan Turner (Earnest Investing) sit down with veteran investor William Tingle (26+ years in the trenches) to bridge the gap between seller finance and note buying. From vocabulary clashes to court-tested strategies, William breaks down why he buys Subject-To, sells on contract for deed (not wraps), and how he engineers cash flow without predatory tactics. If you create notes, buy notes, or want safer, scalable deals, this one’s a masterclass.
🧠 Terms decoded: Seller finance vs. owner finance, UPB, wraps vs. CFD—and why it matters.
🧱 Risk-proofing: Keep part of the down payment in reserves; plan for judges, feelings, and facts.
🧮 Deal math: Cash flow targets, interest-rate strategy, and the crucial Plan B (rent test).
🧰 Operations: Radio + foreclosure door-knocking, Dodd-Frank screening, family-first buyer avatar.
🧯 Pitfalls to avoid: Lease-option myths, underwater “appreciation plays,” sloppy collateral.
🧭 Cycle outlook: Why a correction may be coming—and how to adapt, not react.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
