If so, what challenges or benefits did you notice compared to active real estate investing?

Recently, I received a penalty notice from the WCB for not carrying workers’ comp coverage during 2024/2025. 

In my own experience working alongside investors, I’ve noticed that having a fast-approval, investor-focused financing option can completely change the pace of a project.When funding is ready in days, it’s so much easier to stick to the BRRRR timeline and avoid missing deals.What’s been your fastest turnaround time from deal finding to closing?

I'm a landlord dealing with a former tenant who violated the lease (unauthorized pets, gave only 6 days notice instead of required 30 days) and left property damage exceeding the $1,300 security deposit—total repairs are over $2,400.Initially, we asked the tenant to wait while we completed repairs and calculated costs.

You’re right — there’s been a noticeable shift lately with AI in real estate, and a lot of investors are experimenting with exactly the types of tasks you mentioned.

Otherwise, the non-judicial power of sale foreclosure is carried out as follows:Prior to proceeding with a foreclosure, Texas laws state that the lender must mail the borrower a letter of demand, informing the buyer he has twenty (20) days to pay the delinquent payments or foreclosure proceedings will begin.At some point after the borrowers twenty (20) days have expired, but at least twenty one (21) days before the foreclosure sale, a foreclosure notice must be: 1) filed with the county clerk; 2) mailed to the borrower at their last known address; and 3) posted on the county courthouse door.The foreclosure sale must take place on the first Tuesday of any month, even if said Tuesday falls on a legal holiday, but only after the proper preliminary notices have been given.

Document everything thoroughly, consider sending a final notice, and keep all expense records.

I’ve noticed some investors diversify by adding real estate notes to their portfolio alongside rentals and flips.For those who’ve done this — how has note investing compared with your other real estate strategies?

Somewhere you can drive to on short notice makes a whole lot more sense.

Loans have a "Due On Sale" clause which means the bank can call the loan Due and Payable on short notice.
