Real estate investing isn’t always about buying properties sometimes the real opportunity starts with buying the debt behind them. breaks down how banks regularly offload distressed mortgages when borrowers stop paying, opening the door for investors to step in at a discount. This is where note investing becomes a completely different game.
Instead of purchasing the property directly, investors can step into the lender’s position by acquiring non-performing notes. These loans are often sold at 50 to 60 cents on the dollar because banks want them removed from their books. That gap between loan balance and purchase price is where the opportunity is created.
The key shift is understanding which side of the payment stream you’re on. One side pays the bank, the other collects from it and note investing flips that position.
