INVESTORS WANTED: Playing Monopoly with Distressed Deals

INVESTORS WANTED: Playing Monopoly with Distressed Deals

Author: Scott Carson March 9, 2026 Duration: 13:53

Are you tired of chasing the same tired foreclosure lists that every other investor in town is already cold-calling? In today’s market of chaos and distressed debt, the real "Monopoly" winners aren't just collecting $200 for passing Go—they are finding the deals six to twelve months before they ever hit the public radar.


In this episode, Scott Carson pulls back the curtain on a massive influx of distressed debt hitting the market. We’re talking about "loan level" data on thousands of notes across the country where borrowers are 6, 12, or even 24 months behind on payments. Whether you are a "hustler" looking for your next creative real estate deal or a realtor hungry for fresh listing leads, this episode shows you how to tap into a private stream of opportunities that most people don't even know exist.


What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

  • The "Crumb Investor" Advantage: Why you don't need a billion-dollar license to profit from the massive portfolios being moved by banks and hedge funds.
  • Deep-Dive Data: Understanding "loan level" information, including exact addresses, equity positions, and exactly how many months a borrower is in default.
  • Creative Exit Strategies: How to turn these distressed leads into "Subject To" deals, owner financing opportunities, or traditional listings.
  • Geographic Opportunities: Why this isn't just a Texas or Florida play—opportunities are popping up in New York, New Jersey, and even Alaska and Hawaii.
  • The Partnership Model: How to work with Scott to get these leads delivered to your inbox once or twice a month, either through a small fee or a referral relationship.
  • Due Diligence Support: How Scott’s team can now assist with BPOs, O&Es, and other critical due diligence documents for your deals.


Are You Ready to Jump on the Board?

The market isn't "bad"—it's just changing. If you are willing to pick up the phone, knock on a door, or start a mail campaign, there is plenty of room on the Monopoly board for you. Don't wait for the foreclosure auction; get the lead while the borrower is still in the early stages of default and nobody else is looking.
