Mastering the Tape: Strategies for High-Volume Note Investing

Welcome to a special edition of Note Night in America! It is hard to believe that 2026 is already nearly a sixth of the way through. Time flies when deals are crossing your plate, and tonight we are diving deep into a massive new "tape" of 1,317 owner-financed notes that just hit the market. Whether you are a seasoned pro or just getting your feet wet, the sheer volume of opportunities available right now—especially across states like Texas, Florida, and Arizona—is staggering. We are breaking down how to stop "falling in love" with a single deal and instead start bidding at scale to ensure you actually get assets under contract.

Five Key Takeaways from the 1,300+ Note Tape

Don't Over-Analyze the Front End: Many investors waste hours on bid work; if you spend more than 30 minutes on a tape like this, you are over-thinking it.
Bidding Without Addresses: High-level sellers often "mask" addresses to protect the privacy of their portfolios; you must learn to bid based on provided AVMs and ZIP codes, with the understanding that bids can "fade" once full due diligence begins.
Targeting Double-Digit Yields: For performing notes, the goal is often a 16% yield on cash flow, allowing you to pay your investors a solid 7–9% while keeping the spread.
Geographic Opportunities: While Texas leads the current tape with 425 notes, surprising opportunities are popping up in places like Alaska, which has 17 notes available—the most we've ever seen there.
The Power of Volume: Instead of bidding on two notes, bid on twenty; increasing your volume significantly raises your chances of successful acquisitions in a competitive market.

As we prepare for our upcoming three-day workshop in Austin, the focus remains on real-world application. From leveraging AI to finding deals and raising capital, the landscape of note buying is shifting. The world has changed quite a bit in the last year, and staying updated with new marketing tactics and vendor networks for BPOs and title work is essential for success.

The window to act on this current tape is small, with bids due in just 48 hours. Success in this industry isn't about finding the "perfect" note; it’s about understanding the numbers, staying disciplined with your yields, and having the courage to submit offers across multiple states. If you’re ready to take your portfolio to the next level, it’s time to dive into the spreadsheets and start bidding. We’ll see you at the top!
