    BONUS: The July 2026 Texas Foreclosure Update (16% Increase)!
    Jul 3 2026
    📉 Texas Foreclosure Market Explosion: Massive 16% Surge for July 2026 Revealed!The Lone Star State is experiencing an undeniable wave of real estate distress, and the numbers do not lie. In this urgent market update, Scott Carson—"The Note Guy"—dissects the newly released July 2026 Texas foreclosure data, exposing a massive 16% month-over-month explosion in filings across the state. If you are a real estate investor, note buyer, or wholesaler looking for high-equity opportunities, the summer of 2026 is presenting a massive inventory pipeline that you cannot afford to ignore. Scott breaks down the exact numbers on a county-by-county basis, mapping out the severe distress hitting residential neighborhoods and the staggering 50% commercial foreclosure spike dominating East Texas. More importantly, you will learn the hidden economic catalysts behind these defaults—including the quiet collapse of short-term rental (Airbnb/VRBO) portfolios, skyrocketing insurance premiums, and a sharp rise in first-time homebuyer and VA loan defaults. Stop guessing where the market is going. Grab a pen, look at the hard data, and learn how to safely capitalize on this wave of Texas distress before the upcoming first-Tuesday auction! 📌 Key Takeaways & Episode HighlightsThe Staggering Macro Surge: Texas foreclosure filings jumped from 4,091 in June to a whopping 4,754 filings for July 2026, representing an absolute 16% month-over-month increase. The Commercial Breakdown: Total commercial defaults hit 496 filings this month. Central Texas surged to 159 filings (up 37), North Texas reached 156, and East Texas (Houston to Tyler) exploded by 50% to hit 91 commercial filings. The County-by-County Heat Map: Houston’s Harris County is the epicenter of distress, skyrocketing by 60% with 878 residential foreclosures. Bexar (459), Dallas (397), Tarrant (312), and Travis (159) all logged significant increases. Unmasking the Default Catalysts: Why macro budget tightening, soaring property hazard insurance costs, and failing DSCR/mid-term/short-term vacation rentals are driving major metropolitan default volumes. The Contrarian Markets: While the major metros are struggling, select sub-markets like Williamson County (down 11), Collin County (down 20), and South Texas (down to 70 commercial filings) are bucking the trend. The Strategic Sourcing Blueprint: Scott explains how to utilize George Roddy’s 4closure.info (Roddy's List) to extract deep-discount distressed asset lists, track private lenders in default, and locate self-directed IRA capital partners. 🛠️ Take Action & Leverage This Distressed Market Today!Don't let the biggest market correction of the year pass you by.

  • Performing Profits: Evaluating First Lien with 85% Equity in Port Arthur, TX

    Performing Profits: Evaluating First Lien with 85% Equity in Port Arthur, TX
    Jul 2 2026
    🎣 Score double-digit yields on low-balance IRA note deals!

    Welcome back to the 50 Deals for 50 Days series! In this episode, Scott Carson—"The Note Guy"—takes a deep dive into an absolute gem of a low-balance re-performing note tucked away in Port Arthur, Texas. If you’ve been hunting for a safe, secure "base hit" to jump-start or boost your Self-Directed IRA without taking on huge capital risks, this real estate note breakdown is tailored exactly for you.


    We are dissecting a performing first-lien mortgage on a beautiful, modern home rebuilt from the ground up in 2021. Scott lays bare the underlying math, the rock-solid equity cushioning, and the passive cash-flow potential that makes this the ultimate entry-level note deal. But remember the golden rule of note investing: don't fall in love with the real estate! You aren't buying the bricks, the plumbing, or the property management headaches—you are buying the debt and becoming the bank. Let's jump into the numbers and see how this little asset can generate an exceptional return for your portfolio.


    📌 Key Takeaways & Episode Highlights
    • The Asset Blueprint: A 3-bedroom, 2-bath, 986-square-foot stilted home in Port Arthur, Texas, rebuilt entirely in 2021 with stunning park and water views.
    • Rock-Solid Equity Protection: With an online valuation around $152,000 and an unpaid legal balance of just $23,200, you are buying a first lien at an incredibly safe 15% Loan-to-Value (LTV) ratio.
    • The Loan Modifications: Originally written in 2007, this loan was modified during COVID in 2020 to a low 3.75% interest rate. Because of this incredibly low rate, the borrower has zero incentive to refinance, ensuring a long-term passive holding.
    • The 13% ROI Math Breakdown: Purchasing at 80% of the legal balance ($18,560) plus a standard transaction fee puts your acquisition cost at roughly $19,560. With a $211.76 monthly payment, it creates an absolute 13% gross cash-on-cash return.
    • Net Yield After Servicing: Even after deducting standard professional third-party servicing costs ($30 to $35/month), this asset still tracks at a powerful, net 11% ROI.
    • The Perfect Solo IRA Play: Why this small-balance asset is a textbook fit for an individual or solo investor using personal funds rather than trying to raise joint-venture private capital.
    • Streamlined Due Diligence Checklist: Scott’s recommendations for a low-cost drive-by inspection, pull-comps check, and verification of the escrowed taxes and hazard insurance policy.

    🛠️ Take Action & Scale Your Portfolio Today!
