    Lisa Farris Reveals: How to Find & Fund Any Real Estate Deal (Without Your Own Cash!)
    Dec 5 2025
    Good morning, afternoon, and good evening, everybody! Scott Carson here, and boy, are you in for a treat! As we roll into the New Year, many of you are resolving to dive deeper into real estate investing, but that old excuse "I don't have any money" always seems to pop up. Well, prepare to have your mind blown (and your excuses obliterated!) by today's special guest!We've got Lisa Ferris from Georgetown, Texas – a real estate investment legend who's been crushing it for years. She's a master of creative financing, fix & flips, short-term rentals, and leveraging private money. And the best part? She’s written a book revealing all her secrets: "How to Find and Fund Any Real Estate Deal: How to Buy Real Estate Without Using Your Own Cash or Credit." Forget the banks; Lisa proves you don't need 'em!Here’s what you'll learn from Lisa Ferris (and why you need her book!):The "Sick and Tired of Being Sick and Tired" Origin Story: Lisa, a 20-year realtor, shares how being "broke" and presented with a "POS house" forced her to embrace creative financing. Her first deal? Wholesaling a property in three hours for $17,000 profit – and she's never looked back!Ron LeGrand's Legacy & Realtor Superpowers: Lisa credits a Ron LeGrand course for igniting her creative financing journey. As a seasoned realtor, she leverages deep market knowledge (knowing which two blocks to avoid and where to buy!) to quickly run numbers and make offers, giving her a serious edge in Central Texas (Belton, Temple, Taylor, Fort Hood) – everywhere but Austin!Win-Win Negotiations for Distressed Sellers: Learn Lisa's approach to seller financing: always offer a higher purchase price and sell the payment amount (never the interest rate!). She focuses on creating win-win scenarios where sellers feel heard and get flexible solutions, even for those with no equity or facing tough situations.Private Money Magic: Just Ask! Lisa's secret to raising capital? Simply ask! Her first private lender was a good friend at McDonald's (true story!). She views it as offering an opportunity for investors to make their money work for them, not begging. Her deals average $200K-$300K and offer 12%+ returns, because as she says, "if you have a good deal, the money is the easiest part."Why Diligence & Community Matter: Lisa uses tools like RehabValuator and creates professional reports (Canva, anyone?) to make her deals attractive. She emphasizes proactive communication with lenders (even using platforms like SiteWire for draws). Plus, she champions local networking with her Centex Dealmakers Group, bringing integrity, training, and real-world deals to Austin's real estate community.Lisa Ferris is living proof that you don't need deep pockets to build a thriving real estate business. Her humor, humility, and rock-solid strategies make her an inspiration. Stop making excuses and start making deals happen!Grab a copy of her game-changing book, "How to Find and Fund Any Real Estate Deal: How to Buy Real Estate Without Using Your Own Cash or Credit," available soon on Amazon.

  • Note Investing Case Study: Passive Funding Opportunity

    Note Investing Case Study: Passive Funding Opportunity
    Dec 3 2025

    Hey, investors! Scott Carson here, and I've got a juicy deal that's hotter than a Texas summer! If your lazy assets (and maybe your self-directed IRA) are sitting idle, this is your chance to put them to work on a prime piece of Georgetown, Texas real estate. This isn't some long-haul, snail-paced investment – we're talking a six-month or less turnaround, with conservative numbers figuring in a year!

    This beauty is one of 48 reverse mortgages we snagged from a hedge fund. The borrower's already passed, HUD's got it cleaned out, and we're looking at a clean, well-maintained property needing just a little lipstick and a fresh coat of paint. Texas foreclosures are fast, and we've got the team ready to rock and roll. This is a potential 10% (or more!) return on your money, secured with a first lien.


    Here’s the breakdown on this Georgetown Goldmine:

    • The Deceased HUD Gem: A clean, 3-bed, 2-bath, 1,348 sq ft home in Georgetown's hot 78628 ZIP code. Borrower deceased, heirs not fighting, property in good shape (interior inspection available!), needs cosmetic updates only – no structural nightmares.
    • The Numbers Make Sense: Current legal balance: $185K. Conservative Fair Market Value: $297K. We're picking up the note for just $170K. Add back taxes and foreclosure costs, and we need $176K in funding. That's over $112K in built-in equity!
    • Exit Strategy 1: Quick Auction Cash! With a 90-day Texas foreclosure and a $191K legal balance (after taxes), a quick auction sale is likely. You get a guaranteed 10% return on your $176K, paid out even if it sells faster than 90 days. We're talking $4,400+ interest in under three months!
    • Exit Strategy 2: REO Flip for Bigger Bucks! If it doesn't sell at auction (our preferred scenario!), we take it back as an REO. An additional $20K for rehab (total $196K invested) for light cosmetic work. Potential net profit of $52K+ with ROI up to 20% if we're doing a one-year prepayment penalty.
    • Due Diligence & Timeline: Full collateral file, realtor CMAs, title update, HUD interior inspection, and exterior video are all available. We're aiming for mid-December funding to kick off a February foreclosure and a March/June sale. Fast, efficient, and profitable!


    This isn't just another podcast episode; it's a real-time opportunity. We're looking for funding in December, so if you've got an IRA or some passive investment cash ($176K) burning a hole in your pocket, and you want 10% or more, let's talk!


    For the full due diligence package, comps, and all the nitty-gritty details, reach out directly! Book a call with me at talkwithscottcarson.com or text (512) 585-3810. Let's make some money together before 2026 hits!

Deep Investor Angle: Look for Heights-adjacent distress from 12% claim denials, trading 18% under market. Filter for multis yielding 6-8% after $30K renos; military relocations from Ellington pad occupancy to 95%.
    • Harris County Tax Sales: December 2nd Feast on Delinquent Parcels!
    • Dec 2nd preview for Harris County Tax Sales: 300+ delinquent parcels up for bid. Highlights: Heights commercial duplex at $38K minimum (HCAD value $52K, '22-'24 liens).
