Five Rules To Make Sure Your Fixer-Upper Doesn't Flop with Felipe Soares

Five Rules To Make Sure Your Fixer-Upper Doesn't Flop with Felipe Soares
<p>In this episode of the <em>Note Closer Show</em>, host Scott Carson sits down with real estate veteran Felipe Soares to dissect the realities of the 2026 fix-and-flip market. With over 18 years of experience and more than 400 rehabs under his belt, Soares provides a masterclass in transitioning from wholesaling to high-volume rehabbing without using your own capital.</p><p><br></p><h2><strong>The Anatomy of a Successful Flip</strong></h2><p>Soares emphasizes that while the business is simple, it is far from easy. He argues that the biggest mistake investors make is failing to truly dial in their <strong>After Repair Value (ARV)</strong>. In a market where values can fluctuate by 10% or more, Soares suggests that if you cannot accurately predict the ARV, you shouldn’t touch the deal. He also stresses the importance of the <strong>78% rule</strong>; paying more than 78 cents on the dollar (including repairs and holding costs) often leads to negative returns for short-term projects.</p><p><br></p><p>Efficiency is the name of the game in 2026. Soares reveals his "rule of thumb" for timelines: every $10,000 in scope requires two weeks of work. To maintain this pace, he operates his own licensed construction umbrella, managing four dedicated general contracting crews that work exclusively for him. By purchasing materials directly and leveraging "Pro" relationships at major retailers, he maximizes margins while earning millions of travel points to fund a first-class lifestyle.</p><p><br></p><h3><strong>Key Topics Covered:</strong></h3><ul><li><strong>The Power of Persistence</strong>: Soares shared how it took him 18 months to close his first $3,000 wholesale deal, proving that "putting in the reps" is the only way to reach $60 million in transactional volume.</li><li><strong>Precision Underwriting</strong>: Why the ARV is the ultimate "deal killer" and why investors must account for the 90-day FHA anti-flip seasoning rule when projecting exit timelines.</li><li><strong>Leveraging Technology</strong>: The use of AI tools like <strong>CubiCasa</strong> for instant floor plans and <strong>Richer Values</strong> for AI-driven appraisal data even in non-disclosure states like Texas.</li><li><strong>Relationship-Based Contracting</strong>: Why treating contractors "like family" and keeping them busy year-round is better than always chasing the lowest bid.</li><li><strong>High-Impact Aesthetics</strong>: Focusing budget on "Say Yes to the Dress" moments—specifically kitchens and master suites—using quartz counters, heated floors, and strategic lighting to trigger emotional buys.</li></ul><p>Felipe Soares’ journey from an underage investor trying to sneak into networking events to a "Stud Muffin-aire" educator proves that success in real estate isn't about luck—it's about systems. By combining conservative underwriting with modern AI tools and a "boots on the ground" approach to project management, investors can navigate even the toughest market cycles. As Scott Carson notes, the only way to reach the top is to take these tactics and move into action.</p><p><br></p><p><a href="https://youtube.com/live/HVpQfinYx-o" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Watch the Original VIDEO HERE!</strong></a></p><p><br></p><p>Here is a list of websites and tools mentioned in this episode:</p><ul><li><strong>CubiCasa</strong>: A free mobile app used to scan a house and generate a blueprint with actual measurements, CAD upgrades, and floor plans within minutes.</li><li><strong>Richer Values</strong>: An AI-powered tool that provides accurate After Repair Value (ARV) data and appraisal-level documentation, even in non-disclosure states like Texas.</li><li><strong>Real.Vision</strong>: A professional photography service used for high-end property marketing, providing interactive virtual tours, drone shots, and dedicated property mini-sites.</li><li><strong>Home Depot Pro &amp; Managed Elite Account</strong>: Felipe leverages high-level "Pro" relationships and the "ProDesk" to get bulk discounts, special pricing on paint, and managed deliveries.</li><li><strong>Floor &amp; Decor Pro</strong>: Used for interior design coordination and logistical management of flooring materials across multiple stores.</li><li><strong>REOLink</strong>: An LTE-based security camera system that runs on SIM cards and battery power, allowing for remote monitoring of job sites without Wi-Fi.</li></ul><p><br></p><p><a href="http://talkwithscottcarson.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Book a Call With Scott HERE!</strong></a></p><p><br></p><p><a href="http://noteweekend.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Sign up for the next FREE One-Day Note Class HERE!</strong></a></p><p><br></p><p><a href="http://noteumbrella.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Sign up for the WCN Membership HERE!</strong></a></p><p><br></p><p><a href="http://notebuyingfordummies.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Sign up for the next Note Buying For Dummies Workshop HERE!</strong></a></p><p><br></p><p><br></p>

The Tale of Two Tapes:  How We Found Them & Broke Them Down
FEB 11, 2026
The Tale of Two Tapes: How We Found Them & Broke Them Down
<h2><strong>The Tale of Two Tapes: Unlocking Profits in the Note Investing Market</strong></h2><p>In the world of real estate, there are those who chase physical property, and then there are the "gentle note investors" who look for the hidden gold within the paper. Channeling a bit of Charles Dickens—and perhaps a touch of <em>Bridgerton</em>—Scott Carson recently took to the airwaves for "Note Night in America" to break down two distinct, high-potential investment opportunities. Whether you are looking for the steady rhythm of performing land contracts or the complex, high-reward puzzle of early buyouts (EBOs), the current market is ripe for those ready to take action. Let's dive into the "Tale of Two Tapes" and see where the smart money is moving as we head into the new season. </p><h3><strong>Key Takeaways from This Episode:</strong></h3><p><br></p><ul><li><strong>Exploring the Power of Performing Contracts for Deed:</strong> A featured tape included 60 performing contracts for deed (land contracts) primarily centered in Wichita, Kansas. These assets offer a mixture of "rough" properties that were fixed up and owner-financed, as well as new construction homes. These notes boast attractive interest rates between 6.5% and 9.5%, often yielding double-digit returns (10-20%) when purchased at a discount. </li></ul><p><br></p><ul><li><strong>The Strategic Advantage of EBOs (Early Buyouts):</strong> The second tape consisted of 50 nonperforming FHA and VA loans, known in the industry as Early Buyouts. These assets often feature trial payment plans or active foreclosure actions. Investors can find opportunities here by either finishing the foreclosure to gain the property or benefiting from the modified payment plans once the borrower gets back on track. </li></ul><p><br></p><ul><li><strong>Navigating Tax Implications and Loan Modifications:</strong> Buying a note during a trial payment plan requires careful tax planning. If a loan modifies permanently, the IRS may attempt to tax you based on the full loan amount; however, investors can mitigate this by submitting third-party valuation forms to establish a more accurate cost basis based on the purchase price. </li></ul><p><br></p><ul><li><strong>The "Conversion" Strategy for Higher Yields:</strong> For land contracts, there is a unique opportunity to convert them into traditional 30-year mortgages. By working with a Registered Mortgage Loan Originator (RMLO), investors can formalize the paperwork, potentially increasing the asset's long-term value and stability while keeping the existing borrower in place. </li></ul><p><br></p><ul><li><strong>Hyper-Local Focus vs. National Spread:</strong> The tapes showed two different geographical strategies: the 60 land contracts were centrally located in the Wichita market, allowing for easier local oversight. In contrast, the 50 EBOs were scattered across the country, including New York, Texas, Florida, and California, requiring a broader understanding of state-specific foreclosure timelines and bankruptcy laws. </li></ul><p>Whether you're falling in love with the cash flow of Kansas or navigating the legal intricacies of nonperforming loans, the message is clear: the most successful investors are the ones who stay "in the game" and keep making offers. Note investing isn't just about the numbers on a spreadsheet; it’s about finding the opportunity within the problem. As the baseball season kicks off and the market heats up, now is the time to sharpen your due diligence and build your portfolio.</p><p><br></p><p><a href="https://youtube.com/live/h_xJTAZNMg8" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Watch the Original VIDEO HERE!</strong></a></p><p><br></p><p><a href="http://TalkWithScottCarson.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Book a Call With Scott HERE!</strong></a></p><p><br></p><p><a href="http://NoteWeekend.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Sign up for the next FREE One-Day Note Class HERE!</strong></a></p><p><br></p><p><a href="http://NoteUmbrella.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Sign up for the WCN Membership HERE!</strong></a></p><p><br></p><p><a href="http://NoteBuyingForDummies.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Sign up for the next Note Buying For Dummies Workshop HERE!</strong></a></p><p><br></p><p><strong>Love the show?</strong>&nbsp;Subscribe, rate, review, and share!</p><ul><li><a href="https://weclosenotes.com/how-to-subscribe-rate-our-podcast-5-stars-on-itunes/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(0, 79, 191);">Here’s How »</a></li></ul><p><br></p><p><strong>Join the Note Closers Show community today:</strong></p><ul><li><a href="https://weclosenotes.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(0, 79, 191);">WeCloseNotes.com</a></li><li><a href="https://www.facebook.com/noteshowpodcast/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(0, 79, 191);">The Note Closers Show Facebook</a></li><li><a href="https://twitter.com/noteshowpodcast" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(0, 79, 191);">The Note Closers Show Twitter</a></li><li><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/1scottcarson/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(0, 79, 191);">Scott Carson LinkedIn</a></li><li><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NkDyqDB6fD4&amp;list=PLRHv04Q15a0Ds_6lseLx3Pb4-Li1gLmDB" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(0, 79, 191);">The Note Closers Show YouTube</a></li><li><a href="https://vimeo.com/weclosenotes" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(0, 79, 191);">The Note Closers Show Vimeo</a></li><li><a href="https://www.instagram.com/noteclosers/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(0, 79, 191);">The Note Closers Show Instagram</a></li><li><a href="https://www.pinterest.com/1weclosenotes/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(0, 79, 191);">We Close Notes Pinterest</a></li></ul>

The Top Marketing Mistakes New Investors Make

The Top Marketing Mistakes New Investors Make
<h2>The Ultimate Marketing Safety Net: Why You Don't Own Your Audience</h2><p>In the fast-paced world of 2026, many entrepreneurs are making a fatal mistake: they are building their entire business on "rented land". Whether you are a note investor, a realtor, or a fix-and-flipper, the reality is that we are all in the <strong>marketing business</strong> first. If your primary way of reaching clients is through a free platform like Facebook or LinkedIn, you are one algorithm change or account deletion away from having your business vanish overnight.</p><p><br></p><p>I’ve seen it happen to the best of us. From podcasting experts losing 20-year-old accounts to major email services flagging databases, the message is urgent: you must own your data. Success in today’s market isn't just about finding deals; it's about "carpet bombing" your message across multiple channels while funneling every lead into a database you actually control.</p><p><br></p><h3>5 Keys to Dominating Your Marketing in 2026</h3><p><br></p><ul><li><strong>Own the "Gold" (Name, Email, and Phone)</strong>: Social media followers are great for presence, but the only true assets you own are your contacts' names, email addresses, and cell phone numbers. These three pieces of information are the most valuable resources in your business, allowing you to bypass platform gatekeepers and connect directly with your audience.</li></ul><p><br></p><ul><li><strong>The Power of the Weekly Drip</strong>: Consistency is the antidote to being forgotten. You should be sending at least one email per week to your database to stay top-of-mind. Frequent communication leads to lower opt-out rates because you are building a relationship rather than just asking for money when you have a deal.</li></ul><p><br></p><ul><li><strong>Leverage AI for Content Multiplicity</strong>: You don't need to spend hours writing from scratch. Use AI to take a single long-form video or podcast transcript and "chop" it into 30 short-form videos, blogs, and newsletters. This "multi-touch" approach ensures you are seen on every platform—from LinkedIn newsletters to YouTube—without doubling your workload.</li></ul><p><br></p><ul><li><strong>Implement "Mother Ship" Landing Pages</strong>: Every piece of content should lead back to your "mothership"—your website. Use simple one-page landing pages with "opt-ins" like free classes or case studies to capture lead information. Even if they don't buy immediately, you've captured the data necessary for future marketing.</li></ul><p><br></p><ul><li><strong>The "Jab, Jab, Jab, Right Hook" Philosophy</strong>: Most investors fail at raising capital because they only reach out when they are desperate for a deal. Instead, provide value through "edutainment"—sharing case studies, industry articles, and networking updates. By giving 75% of the time, your "ask" for funding will feel like a natural opportunity for your investors rather than a cold pitch.</li></ul><p><br></p><h2>Conclusion: Take Action Before the "Fade"</h2><p>Don't let your business fade away like a character in a movie. If you aren't growing your database, you aren't growing your income. Start by exporting your contacts from LinkedIn or your calendar service and moving them into a dedicated CRM. Remember, email still provides the highest ROI in marketing—returning roughly $44 for every $1 spent. Stop being a "secret agent" and start sharing your journey consistently.</p><p><br></p><p><a href="https://youtube.com/live/_5goVtKLJpc" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Watch the Original Video of this Episode HERE!</strong></a></p><p><br></p><p><a href="http://TalkWithScottCarson.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Book a Call With Scott HERE!</strong></a></p><p><br></p><p><a href="http://NoteWeekend.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Sign up for the next FREE One-Day Note Class HERE!</strong></a></p><p><br></p><p><a href="http://NoteUmbrella.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Sign up for the WCN Membership HERE!</strong></a></p><p><br></p><p><a href="http://NoteBuyingForDummies.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Sign up for the next Note Buying For Dummies Workshop HERE!</strong></a></p><p><br></p><p><strong>Love the show?</strong>&nbsp;Subscribe, rate, review, and share!</p><ul><li><a href="https://weclosenotes.com/how-to-subscribe-rate-our-podcast-5-stars-on-itunes/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(0, 79, 191);">Here’s How »</a></li></ul><p><br></p><p><strong>Join the Note Closers Show community today:</strong></p><ul><li><a href="https://weclosenotes.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(0, 79, 191);">WeCloseNotes.com</a></li><li><a href="https://www.facebook.com/noteshowpodcast/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(0, 79, 191);">The Note Closers Show Facebook</a></li><li><a href="https://twitter.com/noteshowpodcast" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(0, 79, 191);">The Note Closers Show Twitter</a></li><li><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/1scottcarson/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(0, 79, 191);">Scott Carson LinkedIn</a></li><li><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NkDyqDB6fD4&amp;list=PLRHv04Q15a0Ds_6lseLx3Pb4-Li1gLmDB" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(0, 79, 191);">The Note Closers Show YouTube</a></li><li><a href="https://vimeo.com/weclosenotes" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(0, 79, 191);">The Note Closers Show Vimeo</a></li><li><a href="https://www.instagram.com/noteclosers/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(0, 79, 191);">The Note Closers Show Instagram</a></li><li><a href="https://www.pinterest.com/1weclosenotes/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(0, 79, 191);">We Close Notes Pinterest</a></li></ul>

How to Create Your Note Investing Dream Team
<h3><strong>Your Note Investing Super Bowl: Build a Dream Team to Dominate 2026!</strong></h3><p><br></p><p>Alright, everybody! Scott Carson here, ready to tackle a crucial topic that's been lighting up my phone: building your ultimate note investing dream team. With the Super Bowl on the horizon, it's the perfect analogy – you wouldn't put a quarterback at nose tackle, right? The same goes for real estate. You can't be a solo-preneur, trying to do it all yourself, especially when you're buying notes in 20+ states like me!</p><p>Many new investors (like Vincent from Harrisburg, PA – this one's for you, buddy!) think they need to master every single task. But here's the kicker: delegating isn't just smart; it's essential. I've been coaching for almost two decades, and the most successful investors aren't just good at <em style="color: inherit;">one</em> thing; they're great at assembling a team. So, let's draft your winning lineup for 2026!</p><p><br></p><p>Here's how to build your note investing dream team:</p><ul><li><strong style="color: inherit;">The Scouting Report: REIAs &amp; Networking:</strong>&nbsp;Your first stop? Local Real Estate Investor Associations (REIAs) and BNI groups. These are your recruiting grounds for investor-friendly realtors, title companies, and other pros. Don't be a wallflower; get there, ask around, and find the right people who&nbsp;<em style="color: inherit;">want</em>&nbsp;to work with investors.</li><li><strong style="color: inherit;">The Playmakers: Realtors &amp; Title/Attorneys:</strong>&nbsp;You need reliable realtors for BPOs and market insights (especially out-of-state!). Pair them with investor-friendly title companies or real estate attorneys for seamless closings and secure money transfers. They're critical for evaluating and closing your deals.</li><li><strong style="color: inherit;">The Coaches: Licensed Servicers &amp; Foreclosure Attorneys:</strong>&nbsp;For note investors, a licensed servicer is non-negotiable – they collect payments, handle communication, and manage legalities, saving you headaches (and potential fines!). A real estate attorney in every state you're active in is your offensive coordinator for foreclosures and workouts.</li><li><strong style="color: inherit;">The Finance Department: Hard Money &amp; Private Capital:</strong>&nbsp;Even if you're the bank, you need a bank! Build relationships with hard money lenders for REO rehabs and, crucially, cultivate private money investors (IRAs, OPM). Your network of other investors can also be a goldmine for capital.</li><li><strong style="color: inherit;">The Ground Crew: Contractors &amp; Property Management:</strong>&nbsp;When you take back an REO, you need reliable contractors (roofers, HVAC, handyman crews) to get it market-ready. For rentals, a trusted property manager (preferably local) is essential.
