E341 | Risk vs. Return: The Truth About Timelines in Note Investing
Manage episode 513697431 series 2464830
In this episode, Chris breaks down one of the most misunderstood aspects of mortgage note investing—how to price non-performing loans correctly. Drawing from real case studies, he explains why assuming a fast foreclosure timeline can lead to major miscalculations, how borrower behavior (like filing for bankruptcy) impacts your timeline and return, and why the biggest risks often come from what you can’t predict.
Chris also shares how 7e models downside risk using IRR and scenario planning, why adding just one month to your assumptions can save your entire deal, and what to do when legal errors, borrower beliefs, or delays threaten your outcome. This episode is a must-listen for investors who want to move beyond surface-level deal sourcing and understand what it really takes to manage notes profitably.
This is part one of a multi-part series on loan pricing fundamentals.
