Hey, investors! Scott Carson here, and I've got a juicy deal that's hotter than a Texas summer! If your lazy assets (and maybe your self-directed IRA) are sitting idle, this is your chance to put them to work on a prime piece of Georgetown, Texas real estate. This isn't some long-haul, snail-paced investment – we're talking a six-month or less turnaround, with conservative numbers figuring in a year!

This beauty is one of 48 reverse mortgages we snagged from a hedge fund. The borrower's already passed, HUD's got it cleaned out, and we're looking at a clean, well-maintained property needing just a little lipstick and a fresh coat of paint. Texas foreclosures are fast, and we've got the team ready to rock and roll. This is a potential 10% (or more!) return on your money, secured with a first lien.

Here’s the breakdown on this Georgetown Goldmine:

• The Deceased HUD Gem: A clean, 3-bed, 2-bath, 1,348 sq ft home in Georgetown's hot 78628 ZIP code. Borrower deceased, heirs not fighting, property in good shape (interior inspection available!), needs cosmetic updates only – no structural nightmares.
• The Numbers Make Sense: Current legal balance: $185K. Conservative Fair Market Value: $297K. We're picking up the note for just $170K. Add back taxes and foreclosure costs, and we need $176K in funding. That's over $112K in built-in equity!
• Exit Strategy 1: Quick Auction Cash! With a 90-day Texas foreclosure and a $191K legal balance (after taxes), a quick auction sale is likely. You get a guaranteed 10% return on your $176K, paid out even if it sells faster than 90 days. We're talking $4,400+ interest in under three months!
• Exit Strategy 2: REO Flip for Bigger Bucks! If it doesn't sell at auction (our preferred scenario!), we take it back as an REO. An additional $20K for rehab (total $196K invested) for light cosmetic work. Potential net profit of $52K+ with ROI up to 20% if we're doing a one-year prepayment penalty.
• Due Diligence & Timeline: Full collateral file, realtor CMAs, title update, HUD interior inspection, and exterior video are all available. We're aiming for mid-December funding to kick off a February foreclosure and a March/June sale. Fast, efficient, and profitable!

This isn't just another podcast episode; it's a real-time opportunity. We're looking for funding in December, so if you've got an IRA or some passive investment cash ($176K) burning a hole in your pocket, and you want 10% or more, let's talk!

For the full due diligence package, comps, and all the nitty-gritty details, reach out directly! Book a call with me at talkwithscottcarson.com or text (512) 585-3810. Let's make some money together before 2026 hits!

Hey, investors! Scott Carson here, ready to dive into the River City's real estate headlines, hotter than a bowl of chili on a Texas winter day! San Antonio's market is buzzing, with shifts that mean big opportunities if you know where to look. From first-time homebuyer havens to multifamily marvels, and a market cooling faster than a frozen margarita, grab your cowboy boots – it’s time to wrangle some insights!

In this episode, you'll learn what's making waves in San Antonio real estate:

• First-Timer Mecca & Rental Goldmine: San Antonio proudly ranks #5 nationally for first-time homebuyers, boasting super affordable ratios (3.2x median income for a starter home!) and spacious entry-level properties. This growing market with increasing housing inventory is a prime hunting ground for investors seeking long-term rentals and stable tenants.
• Multifamily Hustle at The Pearl: Witness the immigrant entrepreneurial spirit in action! A Nigerian immigrant's ION Homes & Resorts is breaking ground on 811 Park Lofts, an 18-unit boutique multifamily project near The Pearl. This upscale development signals robust luxury apartment demand and investor confidence in key San Antonio districts.
• October Sales Twist: Dip in Volume, Rise in Price: While October saw an 11% dip in closed sales, the median home price ticked up 2% to $330k. With active listings ballooning to 17,000+ and nearly six months of housing inventory, this balanced market creates ideal conditions for flippers to snag deals without bidding wars and for landlords to negotiate on multi-units.
• Commercial Real Estate Gets a Texas Titan: Partners Real Estate just tapped Peter Main as Executive Managing Director, signaling aggressive commercial growth for San Antonio. His expertise in property management, valuations, and project teams will streamline flips and leases, accelerating the city's commercial scene, including lucrative office-to-resi conversions fueled by fresh capital.
• Buyer's Playground: Lowball, Flip, & Airbnb! Redfin confirms San Antonio's shift to a buyer's market, with prices dipping and homes lingering 74 days. This high supply and affordable pockets (like the South Side) offer investors golden opportunities to lowball on foreclosures or fixer-uppers for quick Airbnb turns. Just watch the spring market, as inventory could shrink fast!

So there you have it, folks! San Antonio's real estate market is a wild ride, but with these insights, you're armed and ready to conquer. Whether you're eyeing long-term rentals, quick flips, or just want to bask in the glory of immigrant entrepreneurial spirit, SA has something for every savvy investor. Don't be a market moron – stay informed, subscribe, and let's go cash in on the River City's opportunities!

Grab your boots and your notebooks, because foreclosures are officially heating up like a Texas summer day in July.

• Houston Leads the Charge (Again!): Harris County clocks in with a jaw-dropping 655 properties, solidifying Houston's reputation as a hotspot for distressed assets. Dallas County (308) and Tarrant County (251) aren't far behind, proving the major metros are where the action is.
• San Antonio Sees a Surge: Keep your eyes peeled on Bexar County, which is sporting a hefty 405 foreclosures. Even Austin's Travis County (131) and North-Austin's Williamson County (53) are showing significant activity, meaning even the hotter markets are feeling the squeeze.
• Commercial Opportunities Abound: Beyond residential, Texas boasts 526 commercial properties hitting the auction block. North Texas (152), Central Texas (126), and East Texas (112) lead the regions, offering diverse chances for commercial real estate pros.

Good morning, afternoon, and evening, investors! Scott Carson here, ready to drop some serious knowledge bombs on your day-to-day investing strategies. Today, we're talking with a true titan of Texas real estate finance, Michael Hoffman, founder and CEO of Longhorn Investments! Since 2008, Mike and his team have funded over 10,000 loans and $2 billion, helping investors nationwide (with about 50% of that still right here in Texas!) turn fixer-uppers into cash-flowing dreams. If you're buying, fixing, and flipping, you're gonna want to grab a burnt orange pen, because Mike’s insights are pure gold – and he's not afraid to tell you why HGTV is fictional!

In this episode, you'll learn:

• Hard Money 101 & First-Time Investor Hacks: Mike demystifies hard money lending: it's asset-based, faster than banks (5-7 days!), and funds up to 100% of loan-to-cost (up to 70% ARV). Plus, hear how Longhorn empowers first-time fix-and-flippers by focusing on the deal's viability (hello, appraisals!), not just your experience level.
• The Truth About Deals & Rehabs (and why HGTV is Fiction!): Learn why Longhorn meticulously vets every deal – they want you to succeed, not foreclose! Mike stresses the vital importance of hiring a reputable contractor (not the cheapest, and definitely not you for wall-moving projects!) and the necessity of actively overseeing your rehabs to avoid "mucking up the machine."
• Lender Goals & Market Realities: Mike pulls back the curtain on what motivates a good hard money lender: they're in the note business, not the "loan-to-own" business! Discover why quick draw disbursements (48-72 hours!) are crucial for project success, and how to spot lenders who might be running on fumes. Plus, understand how current market conditions are affecting loan terms and borrower strategies.
• Property Preferences & Geographic Boundaries: Longhorn's sweet spot? Workforce housing (ARVs under $400k) and brick, 3-bed/2-bath homes built pre-1970s. Mike explains why they avoid mobile homes (unless they're real estate!), condos (those HOA assessments are no joke!), and "Podunkville" locations (you gotta sell it to someone!).
• Passive Investing Powerhouse: The Trident Fund: Get an exclusive peek behind the curtain at Trident Realty Investments, the $222 million evergreen fund that bankrolls Longhorn's loans. Discover how accredited investors can target a 10% return (with a 1-year lockup) by investing alongside Mike, who's always the first investor in.

Good morning, good afternoon, and good evening, investors! Scott Carson here, and boy, do we have a treat for you! Ever wanted to tackle Texas creative financing—think subject-to, wrap-around mortgages, and assumptions—without, shall we say, foul-ups? Good, because I've brought on the man, the myth, the legend himself: T Alan Ceshker from the Ceshker Law Firm! With over 30 years in the game and a proud 5th-generation Austinite, Alan is the go-to guy for navigating the Lone Star State's unique legal landscape. He’s helped thousands of investors get these specialized transactions right, so you don't end up with an "Amityville Horror" on your hands. If you're eyeing those sweet, low-interest mortgages and distressed borrowers, this episode is your official "Don't Screw It Up" guide!

In this episode, you'll learn:

• Demystifying Texas Creative Financing (Alan's Way!): Alan cuts through the jargon, explaining why he calls everything a "wrap" (even assumptions and sub-to deals!) from a legal standpoint, and why "sub-to" is a term he strategically avoids. Learn the core concept: it's "just seller financing" where the existing mortgage stays, and the seller dons a new "lender" hat.
• Bulletproof Contracting for Texas Wraps & Assumptions: Discover Alan's ingenious "math word problem" solution for drafting contracts that account for fluctuating payoff amounts in assumptions, bypassing Paragraph 3 headaches. For wraps, it's as simple as standard seller finance! Plus, get the crucial "disclose, disclose, disclose" mantra to avoid those pesky investor amnesia cases years down the road.
• Taming the Due-on-Sale Beast with Trusts: Unpack the infamous due-on-sale clause—what it means, why lenders usually don't call it (but sometimes do!), and how Alan's proprietary "due on sale trust" structure leverages the Garn-St. Germain Act for protection. You'll hear about specific lenders (looking at you, Home Loan Servicing!) that raise flags and why downloading generic trust forms is a bad idea.
• Non-Negotiable Insurance & Legal Compliance: This is HUGE. Alan reveals the #1 reason wraps fail: incorrect insurance. Learn the exact structure (seller as additional insured, not just interest; lender as mortgagee clause) and why you must use a proven provider. Plus, understand the critical legal compliance points for Texas: RMLO requirements, the 5.016 disclosure, and the "no balloons, no ARMs" rule for baseline compliance.
• Pro-Tips for a Smooth Ride (and Avoiding Foreclosure): Get actionable advice for managing your deals: conference calls with sellers for lender contact, the strategic use of Power of Attorney for checks, and Alan's "6% down" rule of thumb to mitigate default risk. He also stresses the importance of continuous communication with all parties to ensure smooth sailing and happy campers.

This episode with Alan Ceshker is an absolute masterclass in navigating the legal and operational intricacies of Texas creative financing. He's not just talking theory; he's giving you the battle-tested strategies to build a robust portfolio and avoid painful (and costly) mistakes. So, stop drawing deals on napkins, reach out to Alan’s team, and get ready to close some rock-solid transactions! Go out, take some action, and we’ll see you at the top!
