  • How Phil Louden Builds Wealth with Wraps & Seller Financing
    Jan 12 2026

    Good morning, afternoon, and good evening, everybody! Scott Carson here, jacked up to introduce you to a creative financing wizard who’s making serious lemonade out of lemons: the head honcho over at Wrap Academy, Philip Louden! If you’ve been feeling like a hamster on a wheel in the "wholesaling hustle" or dreaming of financial freedom beyond the 40-hour work week, Philip's story is your beacon of hope.


    From digital nomad to debt dominator, Philip cracked the code on building sustainable, passive wealth through wraps, lease options, and seller financing. He's ditched the "always starting from zero" grind of wholesaling for a system that consistently delivers cash flow, leveraging an "opportunistic" mindset and an understanding that the market's always shifting, not stopping. This episode is your ticket to escaping the rat race and truly designing your lifestyle!


    Here’s how Philip Louden helps investors build cash flow and freedom:

    • Wholesaling vs. Wraps: The Scalability Showdown: Discover why Philip traded the "at war" feeling of transactional wholesaling for the scalable, passive cash flow of wraps and seller financing, turning $5-7k flips into $150k+ long-term profits.
    • "Blue Ocean" Deal Sourcing & Automation: Learn how Philip finds his golden geese, from direct-to-seller (distressed, probate, pre-foreclosure) to agents, and now primarily leveraging wholesalers who bring him deals, automating the acquisitions process to free up his time.
    • Targeting for Cash Flow & Equity: Uncover Philip's strategy for aiming for a minimum of $400-500 in monthly cash flow, often securing $700-800+, through "affordable housing" in C-class neighborhoods, creating massive equity cushions and minimizing risk.
    • Creative Structuring: From Sub-To to the "Jacket Strategy": Get insights into his deal structuring, including taking over mortgages, negotiating seller financing, and the "jacket strategy" (BRRR + Wrap) to create significant equity and cash flow, even in today's market.
    • The Wrap Academy Advantage: Learn how his community helps investors cut through "shiny object syndrome," master this passive exit strategy, and build a portfolio delivering $10k+ in monthly cash flow, offering hands-on coaching and resources for repeatable success.


    Philip is living proof that you don't need a million bucks to get started, just a smart strategy and the guts to build your own damn prison (just kidding, it's a freedom machine!). If you're ready to make a whole lot of lemonade out of other people's lemons, this is the episode for you.

  • Texas SB 38: New Eviction Laws in Texas for Landlords and Tenants in 2026
    Jan 9 2026

    Good morning, afternoon, and good evening, real estate investors! Get ready, because 2026 just brought some major shake-ups to Texas real estate laws that could make or break your rental business. We're diving deep into Senate Bill 38, a legislative game-changer streamlining evictions and finally giving you more power against those pesky squatters. Forget your old 'technicality gotchas' – this new bill is here to protect your ass(ets) and your sanity!


    This episode is your no-nonsense guide to navigating these crucial updates, ensuring you're not left scratching your head (or losing money) due to outdated practices.


    Here’s what you’ll uncover about Texas's new landlord/tenant laws:

    • Squatter Smashing, Simplified: Unpack the new "summary disposition" process that allows judges to rule against unauthorized occupants without a full trial, getting those "nasty squatters" out faster than ever.
    • Eviction Notices Get a Glow-Up: Discover how SB 38 modernizes notice delivery, allowing for electronic notices (with agreement!) and placement in "conspicuous places" within the unit, reducing landlord losses on technicalities.
    • Tenant Protections with a Catch: Learn about the new 72-hour "cure period" for lawful renters who are first-time late on payments, providing a grace period while still empowering landlords to act decisively against repeat offenders.
    • Strategic Lease Updates for 2026: Understand the critical importance of immediately updating your rental agreements to reflect these changes, especially for electronic notice consent, to fully leverage the new legal framework.
    • The Big Picture for Texas Investors: Grasp how SB 38 aims to protect private property rights, expedite justice court hearings (10-21 days!), and restrict irrelevant counterclaims, focusing strictly on regaining property possession.


    Whether you're battling squatters or just navigating tenant relations, Texas Senate Bill 38 is a must-know. This law could save you major headaches and protect your ass(ets) in the Lone Star State. Don't be a newbie; get ahead of the curve, update your leases, and make sure you know what the "hell" you're doing. Go out, take some action, and we'll see you at the top!
