Eddie Speed explains why note investing is outperforming rentals, how investors become the bank, and why seller financing is the next shift.

In this episode of RealDealChat, Jack Hoss sits down with Eddie Speed, founder of NoteSchool, to break down why note investing and seller financing are rapidly outperforming traditional rental properties in today’s market.

Eddie explains why rising expenses, compressed cap rates, and stagnant rents are breaking the rental model—and how investors are pivoting by becoming the bank instead. He shares how landlords, realtors, and investors can transition from owning rentals that barely cash flow to holding performing notes generating double-digit returns with far fewer headaches.

The conversation dives deep into:

1. Why rentals are producing 4% while notes can produce 9–12%
2. How seller financing creates instant liquidity
3. Turning landlords into “mini mortgage banks”
4. Why rate cuts don’t fix rental math
5. How stress-testing strategies prevents catastrophic losses
6. Blockchain, automation, and the future of mortgage notes
7. Why mentorship compresses decades of learning into months

If you’re a real estate investor questioning your current strategy—or searching for safer, more scalable cash flow—this episode is a must-watch.
