ACERCA DE ESTE EPISODIO
Rick Allen and TJ Osterman are back on the Paper Stack Podcast to talk about balancing yield and risk in note investing.
In this episode, they dig into why chasing an 18% target yield can sound attractive, but often comes with added risk, more defaults, thinner equity, smaller-balance assets, or heavier servicing and workout demands. They also explain why experienced investors may prefer steady “base hit” performing notes in the 8-10% range when the borrower profile, equity position, collateral file, and exit options are strong.
Rick and TJ cover loan-to-value, borrower credit, down payments, collateral review, performing versus non-performing loans, portfolio balance, and why liquidity matters when you may need to retrade a note later.
The takeaway: don’t step over a solid deal just because it does not hit a flashy target yield. A balanced portfolio can create steadier cash flow, reduce stress, and still leave room for higher-yield opportunities.
