What if there were a way to invest in real estate…without investing in real estate? Scott Carson joins us to share how he buys mortgages. Banks struggle to evaluate loans because of their macro engines, and Scott sneaks into the crevasses to find opportunities to buy the loan from the bank and successfully turn a non-performing loan into a successful investment. He helps people stay in their home while also making money. How does it work? He’ll explain how he identifies the loans that banks struggle with, buys the loans, and then works with the homeowner to get them back on their feet. He also covers what he does if he CAN’T help the homeowner (and sometimes still makes money). We talk about the risks, upside, and mechanics of buying loans on today’s show. Plus, in our headline segment, we dive into a Reddit thread focused on one big name’s child…who says that making money in real estate is super easy. We’ll take a look and share some thoughts on taking advice from influencers on the internet. Plus, we’ll take a question about HELOCs to Ruth’s Rotary Phone AND we’ll also share Doug’s fascinating trivia (which doubles as a pop quiz!). All that and more on today’s show!

Today we throw away all of the talk and get our hands dirty. What does a “great deal” really look like? You’ve heard all the talk. You’ve listened to podcasts. We dump all of the theory on the floor and instead evaluate a real deal from one of our Deeders! We’ll apply all the math, show you websites, dive into clues from the listing, and ultimately make a decision about whether Denise’s deal is ultimately one she should pursue or if she should keep looking.

In our headline segment Rich Dad, Poor Dad guru Robert Kyosaki is in the news, sharing that he’s over a BILLION dollars in debt? While we can’t confirm that number, we can confirm that we talk about leverage on the show and how to use it wisely without being wiped out. We also answer a call to Ruth’s Rotary phone from Pam-a-lama-ding-dong (not her real name) AND we also, like a cherry on top, share Doug’s entirely fun and not-for-credit pop quiz. We’re sure you’ll pass the quiz AND won’t want to pass on all this knowledge and fun.

Ever wonder how AI can help you make better property buying and real estate development decisions? Oh, sure you have! Today we'll do all the heavy lifting as we ask Chat GPT questions about real estate! You may know that some critics have said that AI will often give you a bad answer (while remaining very confident about it). How will we judge the answers? We'll ask it about shady real estate pros, mistakes investors make when buying, what to look for in a great deal on a location, and much more (including some "best" real estate jokes...which may not be "best" at all). In our headline segment, one major city is seeing a skyscraper change owners and the price tag might make people in that town worry. The bad news? It should make you worry as well, if you're buying near any big city. It should especially worry you if you're in short term rentals. We'll explain. Plus, we'll glide through Doug's property pop quiz and much much more! Get our show notes directly delivered to your email by subscribing at https://www.stackingdeeds.net/p/shownotes/ Enjoy!

How do you know that you’re scoring a great deal? While most “get rich quick” investors look for a way to maximize income, our Deeders know that you first ensure that you aren’t stepping into a nightmare purchase. Suni Rao has evaluated HUNDREDS of deals, and today joins us to kick off 2023 by showing us the filters she uses to determine whether a deal actually makes sense. By beginning with Suni’s approach, you’ll be able to tweak her steps and create your own template to quickly determine whether a listing is a waste of time.

But that’s not all. In our headline segment, Crystal and Joe dive into a headline on climbing interest rates. It seems fewer people are chasing the dream of purchasing a home, which is good news for US! As more people search for rental units, how do you stick out? We’ll share our thoughts and strategies. Plus, Doug will share his infamous property pop quiz AND we’ll answer a call from Deeder Lindsay, who shares a TikTok video that just might confirm some of the key real estate purchasing elements we were focusing on last year, like creativity and understanding zoning rules.

Everyone wants something for nothing. Today’s guest says the term “passive income” is a lie, and he’s the guy hosting the biggest podcast in the “passive” income space…BiggerPockets! David Greene joins us again, this time to share his journey from being a guy with ZERO contacts and ZERO money to a guy wealthy beyond belief, with a giant team, and a career that most would love to have. We share his incredible journey that began working part time at a (of all places) Baskin Robbins ice cream shop. You’ll learn what to focus on if you want wealth, how to build skills, and what NOT to do if you hope to advance up the career ladder.
Plus, it’s fire safety month! We’re joined by Adam Barowy from UL’s Fire Safety Research Institute. This year we’re highlighting the dangers of lithium batteries, especially some of the big ones found in e-bikes and large powered toys. He’ll dive into how to tell when there’s the potential for a fire, how to identify potentially unsafe batteries, and how to practice good fire safety.
Of course, we still leave time to throw out the life line to a lucky Stacker (even one from Ohio!), and dive into some of Doug’s incredible trivia.

On today's show, what were the biggest trends that shaped the real estate landscape in 2023 that we ALL can learn from? We'll dive in today with the woman behind the Bigger Pockets Money podcast, Mindy Jensen AND the powerhouse you hear weekly on the Afford Anything show, Paula Pant. Based on what I know about 2023...this is sure to be an engaging conversation that'll unravel the key developments and opportunities in the ever-evolving world of real estate.

And don't you worry your little head...halfway through the show, Neighbor Doug will share some trivia in the property pop quiz segment-and here's a hint: the broker the better.

On today's show, how do you unstuck a negotiation? We'll help you do just that with researcher and motivational speaker Michael McQueen. Changing minds requires understanding psychology. Learn the importance of recognizing psychological factors that influence decision-making and the strategies that can be employed to overcome these barriers.

Before that, in our headline, we dive into the legal realm of lawsuits in the landlord-tenant dynamic. When is it time to sue a tenant, and when could YOU be open to a lawsuit? Plus, we’ll answer a question from a listener who wants to know how to break the ice on purchasing a neighbor's home. And because of popular demand, I'll wow you with my property pop quiz!
