šŸš€ FOR SALE: Dallas Wrap Note With a Double-Digit Yield


Welcome back to the 50 Deals for 50 Days series! In this episode, Scott Carson—"The Note Guy"—deconstructs a highly lucrative sub-two wraparound mortgage deal directly from a private seller in Dallas, Texas. If you’ve been looking for a masterclass on how to evaluate performing notes, structure your bids for double-digit cash-on-cash returns, and completely protect your investment capital, this breakdown is exactly what you need.

Scott walks through the anatomy of a recently rehabbed Dallas property under a one-year seasoned owner-financed wrap note. You'll see the real figures, the underlying first lien low-interest rate details, and the clear mathematical formulas that transform a messy secondary wrap position into an ultra-secure, top-performing first lien powerhouse. Whether you are investing your own cash or deploying private capital through a Self-Directed IRA, stop sitting on the sidelines. Let’s dive in, audit the collateral data, and help you cross your financial independence finish line!


šŸ“Œ Key Takeaways & Episode Highlights

  • Anatomy of a Dallas Wrap Asset: Complete breakdown of a 3-bedroom property on a 0.32-acre lot, updated with fresh carpet, new appliances, and laminate flooring prior to being owner-financed in July 2025.
  • The Arbitrage Spread Numbers: How the seller created a $258/month cash-flow spread by wrapping a $106,000 underlying first lien (at a low 2.875% interest rate) inside a $180,000 owner-financed note at 7.99% interest.
  • The First Lien Strategy: Why smart note investors don't hold wrap notes as seconds; Scott explains the exact protocol to wire funds to Midland Mortgage, wipe out the underlying sub-two debt, and assume a clear, high-equity first lien position.
  • Calculating the 10.5% Cash-on-Cash Return: A real-time math breakdown showing how a $150,000 purchase price yields a $15,008 annual payout, yielding a 10.2% net ROI even after factoring in specialized third-party servicing fees.
  • Bidding for a 12% Target Yield: How to discount your bid to $128,333 to command a 12% ROI, putting your investment at a safe 71.9% of Unpaid Principal Balance (UPB) with built-in equity protection if a borrower default occurs.
  • Due Diligence Checklist: The essential steps for reviewing the full collateral file, assessing local property valuations, cross-checking the RMLO compliance package, and securing regional real estate legal teams like Alan Ceshker.
  • Sneak Peek at What’s Next: A preview of upcoming assets in the 50-day pipeline, including a sub-two deal in Albuquerque, New Mexico, a non-performing note in Florida, and reverse mortgages across the Carolinas.
