Episode Highlights:

• The Downsides of Mortgage Note Investing:
• Jamie breaks down a major drawback—unlike traditional real estate, mortgage note investing lacks built-in tax benefits, often resulting in taxation at the ordinary income rate.
• Risk vs. Reward:
• While note investing offers strong returns, it’s not a one-size-fits-all strategy. Jamie and Chris discuss who this investment model suits best.

• Jamie highlights Labrador Lending as a resource for investors looking to get started and shares how From Adversity to Abundance is evolving to offer more practical advice in 2025.
