Foreclosing on a Private Real Estate Loan from First Position When You Want the Property

Foreclosing on a Private Real Estate Loan from First Position When You Want the Property

Author: Dawn Rickabaugh | Expert Advice for building wealth through Owner Financing & Note Investing July 28, 2024 Duration: 48:39

In this session of Property & Paper Live, Ken brings up a pending foreclosure. He really wants the property, and is considering bidding at the Trustee Sale. There is a 2nd that is in danger of being completely wiped off. He could offer to buy the 2nd at a discount and foreclose from that position to greatly increase his opening bid and almost guarantee he'd get the property with the opening bid. But then he'd have to start the foreclosure timeline over again. Maybe if he'd thought of that earlier on, it would have been a good option. We also talk with others on the call and end with sharing a way to get help submitting owner financing offers so you can buy your home or investment property without asking a bank for a loan!


Dawn Rickabaugh has spent years mastering the nuanced world of real estate finance, and in her Owner Financing & Note Investing Podcast, she pulls back the curtain on strategies that often fly under the radar. This isn't about chasing the next hot market; it's about understanding the powerful intersection of creative financing and asset acquisition. Each episode feels like a direct conversation with an expert who genuinely wants to demystify the process, breaking down how seller financing works and how you can build a resilient portfolio by investing in the mortgage notes themselves. You'll hear practical insights on evaluating deals, managing risk, and structuring agreements that benefit both buyers and investors. The dialogue here moves beyond generic advice to explore the real "dance between property and paper," offering a clear path toward building tangible wealth without relying on traditional banks. Whether you're an experienced investor looking to diversify or someone curious about alternative avenues in real estate, this podcast provides a steady stream of actionable knowledge. Dawn’s approach makes complex topics accessible, turning the often-intimidating mechanics of notes and owner carry-backs into understandable steps you can apply. Tune in to discover how these methods can create cash flow, expand your control over assets, and fundamentally change your approach to building financial independence through real estate.
