DFW Double-Digit ROI: Investing in Richardson TX Hard Money Note Case Study

DFW Double-Digit ROI: Investing in Richardson TX Hard Money Note Case Study

Author: Scott Carson July 22, 2026 Duration: 12:05

Are you tired of leaving your investment capital sitting on the sidelines, waiting for the "perfect" real estate deal to come along? In this episode of The Note Closers Show, Scott Carson delivers a massive shortcut to double-digit returns without the headaches of traditional property management, intensive due diligence, or multi-decade commitments. We are breaking down a high-yield, short-term case study on a performing Texas hard money loan located in the fast-growing market of Richardson, Texas—just north of Dallas.

Discover how a seasoned, nationwide hard money lender is looking to recapitalize their growing business by selling off pieces of a $13 million performing paper portfolio. This featured asset is a true first lien secured by a vacant, four-bedroom red brick probate property undergoing a light cosmetic refresh by an experienced local rehabber. With $36,000 of the borrower’s own skin in the game and a disciplined 70% loan-to-after-repair-value (ARV) cushion, this asset is built from the ground up to protect investor capital while kicking off serious cash flow.

Scott walks you step-by-step through the underlying numbers, explaining how purchasing this note at par delivers a powerful 12.89% cash-on-cash ROI over a brief 11-to-12-month timeline. You will also learn about the "Rule of 72" and how securing a consistent 12% interest rate can put your retirement funds or self-directed IRA on the fast track to doubling every six years. Whether you want to step into an immediate monthly stream of $3,298, let the originating lender handle all ongoing servicing and rehab monitoring, or learn the exact steps to foreclose and capture a massive equity spread if things go sideways, this episode is your ultimate guide to truly passive real estate wealth.
