What Every New Note Investor Needs To Do Before 2026

Author: Scott Carson October 27, 2025 Duration: 22:29

Howdy, investors! 🤠 Scott Carson here, ready to wrangle in some serious real estate success for 2026. Tired of New Year's resolutions that bite the dust by February? I'm spilling the beans on how to turn the last quarter of this year (2025) into a launchpad for total domination of the Texas real estate scene next year.

This ain't rocket science, folks, but these 5 simple steps will set you up to outpace the competition. We're talking strategy, team-building, and laying the groundwork now so you can laugh all the way to the bank in 2026.


So grab your boots, and let's get started!

  • LLC Launchpad: Secure your assets! Setting up an LLC is easier than parallel parking a pickup, especially in Texas. (Sorry, California folks, you know about those fees!).
  • Self-Directed IRA Secrets: Unlock the power of a self-directed IRA to grow that nest egg and open doors to creative investment strategies.
  • Network Like a Texan: Find your tribe at local Real Estate Investment Associations (REIAs).
  • Assemble Your A-Team: Realtors, title pros, hard money lenders – build a dream team to conquer any deal.
  • Market Mastery: Uncover what's really working in your Texas market.
