Housing Expert @m3_melody from Housing Wire joins this episode of the Real Estate Notes Show. They dive deep into one of the strangest, most unpredictable housing environments we’ve seen in years. Melody is an industry expert who pulls back the curtain on the conflicting data, rising risks, and hidden market shifts that are catching both lenders and investors off guard.Melody exposes the quiet forces distorting today’s housing numbers, from unreported forbearance deferrals to skyrocketing insurance costs, false rental demand, and the surge of off-MLS distressed sales. She explains why delinquencies appear contradictory, why non-bank lenders are quietly vulnerable, and why local boots-on-the-ground intelligence matters more now than any national headline.Most importantly: Melody breaks down where the cracks are forming, which markets are softening first, and what note investors and seller-finance creators must prepare for in the next 12 months.To obtain this week's Real Estate Notes Show guest Melody Wright's information, use this link https://bit.ly/4rrlZAM

In this episode of the Real Estate Notes Show, hosts Dave Putz (JKP Holdings) and Nathan Turner (Earnest Investing) sit down with veteran investor William Tingle (26+ years in the trenches) to bridge the gap between seller finance and note buying. From vocabulary clashes to court-tested strategies, William breaks down why he buys Subject-To, sells on contract for deed (not wraps), and how he engineers cash flow without predatory tactics. If you create notes, buy notes, or want safer, scalable deals, this one’s a masterclass.

• 🧠 Terms decoded: Seller finance vs. owner finance, UPB, wraps vs. CFD—and why it matters.

• 🧱 Risk-proofing: Keep part of the down payment in reserves; plan for judges, feelings, and facts.

• 🧮 Deal math: Cash flow targets, interest-rate strategy, and the crucial Plan B (rent test).

• 🧰 Operations: Radio + foreclosure door-knocking, Dodd-Frank screening, family-first buyer avatar.

• 🧯 Pitfalls to avoid: Lease-option myths, underwater “appreciation plays,” sloppy collateral.

• 🧭 Cycle outlook: Why a correction may be coming—and how to adapt, not react.
