Spreadsheet Shenanigans: Breaking Down 278 Non-Performing Notes

Hey note ninjas! Ready to dive headfirst into the wild world of distressed assets? Join us for this Money Monday podcast episode where we dissect a juicy batch of tapes, uncover hidden gems (and a few Florida swamp monsters), and strategize our next moves. Grab your coffee (or maybe a Starbucks, if you're feeling fancy!), because this one's a rollercoaster!

This Money Monday is all about the thrill of the hunt. We’re wading through a treasure trove of notes – 278 to be exact (that’s a LOT of spreadsheets!) – and we’re sharing our secrets to sorting the wheat from the chaff (or, you know, the good notes from the ones headed straight for foreclosure). We've got a special focus on reverse mortgages – those sneaky little deals where the payments are often, shall we say, unconventional. Think dollar payments: Yep, you heard right. One dollar.

Main Points Covered:

Reverse Mortgage Mania: We break down the telltale signs of a reverse mortgage (hint: look at those P&I payments!). Learn how to spot them a mile away, and how to navigate the potential pitfalls and profits. Florida, with its sunshine and…unique reverse mortgage situations, takes center stage.

Location, Location, Location (But Seriously, Avoid Chicago!): We're not shy about sharing our opinions on the best (and worst!) states for note investing. Illinois and New York are getting the boot—trust us, you don’t want to tango with Chicago's real estate drama. However, Florida and some other states are good places to focus your attention.

Spreadsheet Shenanigans: Get ready to unleash your inner Excel warrior. We walk you through analyzing a spreadsheet with more columns than you can shake a stick at—loan numbers, master IDs, delinquent statuses, bankruptcy filings, and more. Prepare to become a spreadsheet superhero.

Equity Exploration: The holy grail of note investing? Equity! We'll show you how to calculate it, spot those hidden gems with positive equity, and formulate a winning offer. Get ready to uncover some seriously sweet deals.

The Heirs’ Dilemma and Other Foreclosure Fun: Sometimes, the borrowers in reverse mortgages are…gone. We delve into the sometimes crazy world of dealing with heirs and navigating the complexities of foreclosure – and yes, we’ll even touch on the occasional Ouija board joke.

Beyond the Spreadsheets: We talk strategy. What are your investing goals? Cash flow? Quick flips? We unpack diverse investor goals and strategies, showing how to tailor your approach to your personal financial ambitions. We even tackle HOA issues and those pesky hurricanes that can really shake things up.

More Than Just Numbers: This isn't just a dry run-through of data. We sprinkle in plenty of humor, real-life anecdotes, and our tried-and-true investing wisdom. It's a fast-paced, informative, and, dare we say, entertaining episode. Don't Miss Out!
