ABOUT THE EPISODE

If you know me, then you know I love a great discussion about the secondary mortgage market. That’s precisely why I started a new podcast last month called Debt Doctor, delivering the definitive prescription for navigating the complex world of distressed real estate debt and specialty finance to help you identify, acquire, and monetize undervalued real estate assets.

You’ll definitely want to hear this discussion about the secondary mortgage market with Nathan Turner, affectionately known as the Canadian Note Guy.

Nathan shares his journey into note investing — pioneering a shift in the note investing landscape by opening opportunities for private investors into a space long dominated by institutions, and his leadership role in launching the Diversified Mortgage Expo (DME).

We explore the multifaceted strategies of note investing — from land notes and participations to contracts for deed and commercial properties — while highlighting the importance of adaptability in today’s evolving market.

Nathan also brings a fresh take on investor networking, blending professional insights with unconventional experiences to foster authentic connections.

Our conversation goes beyond just investment mechanics. We examine the ripple effects of events like COVID-19 on mortgage defaults and discuss the strategies banks and investors are using to navigate this new terrain.

Whether you’re a hands-on investor or prefer to work with seasoned experts, this episode offers valuable insights into building resilient, diversified real estate portfolios with much less risk.
