Exploring Life & Business with Lyrva Sanchez of EverWise Capital

Today we’d like to introduce you to Lyrva Sanchez.

Lyrva, we appreciate you taking the time to share your story with us today. Where does your story begin?
I’ve always had a thing for real estate. Back in college, during my fourth year, I went through all the steps to get my license and even sold a few houses shortly after graduating. But it didn’t feel like “me.” I loved the idea of real estate, I just hadn’t figured out where I fit in yet.

Life took me in other directions for a while. I went back to school, earned my nursing degree, got married, and had two kids. Then, after going through a divorce, I really had to start paying close attention to my finances. That’s when I leaned into financial literacy and began taking control of my money in a way I never had before. Once I paid off my debt, I became curious about how people actually build wealth and that curiosity brought me right back to real estate, this time with a whole new perspective.

During that time, I bought a rental property, which was a big win for me and gave me a nice boost of confidence as a new investor. But I quickly learned that being a landlord wasn’t quite my thing. Later, when I discovered note investing, it felt like everything clicked into place. It matched my skill set, my mindset, and the kind of steady, thoughtful investing I wanted to do. Since then, I’ve been focused on building my real estate note investing business and helping others discover this overlooked but powerful corner of real estate.

Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
It definitely hasn’t been a smooth road. It took me a long time to discover note investing and realize it was the right fit for me. Along the way, I’ve learned a lot about mindset, facing fears, overcoming self-doubt, and pushing myself outside of my comfort zone.

One of the biggest challenges has been learning how to share what I do with others. It’s not just about putting myself out there. I’ve had to learn direct marketing, digital marketing, and how to communicate in a way that truly connects with the right people. Asking for help and leaning into new skills has been a big part of that growth.

I’ve also faced imposter syndrome. Even with experience and knowledge, it can be hard not to doubt yourself, especially in a niche field. On top of that, I have a full-time job, raise two kids as a single mom, and help out with caregiver duties for my elderly mom so balancing time and responsibilities has been a constant challenge. It has taught me to be intentional, focused, and creative with how I show up for both my work and my family.

We’ve been impressed with EverWise Capital, but for folks who might not be as familiar, what can you share with them about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
This is the part I geek out on because I’m so passionate about this business and what I do. I founded EverWise Capital to help people turn their seller-financed promissory notes into cash. These notes are contracts where a buyer promises to pay for a property over time. Often, a few years later, the seller has received consistent payments but decides they prefer a lump sum of cash and can no longer wait for monthly payments. I offer to buy the promissory note, which allows me to step into the shoes of the note holder and essentially become the bank. Nothing changes for the buyer except that they now make their payments to me. Being able to provide note holders with cash they truly need brings me a lot of satisfaction.

While there are a few large institutional investor banks in this space, what sets me apart is that I genuinely care about people. Customer satisfaction is important to me, I handle everything with integrity, and I pride myself on being trustworthy. I am also a problem solver, navigating title issues and other challenges to make sure sellers get the cash they need.

I also work with a pool of investors who trust my expertise in this niche field. They earn steady, reliable returns while I handle the entire process of finding note holders, negotiating price, reviewing paperwork, evaluating the property, confirming equity, and closing the deal. It’s a true win-win-win: the seller gets cash, I acquire a real estate-secured asset typically at a discount, and my investors earn a reliable return.

Where do you see things going in the next 5-10 years?
I see this service growing in demand over the next five to ten years. As the real estate and job markets shift, more people will want access to cash tied up in promissory notes. Older note holders may want to simplify their affairs before retirement, and others may cash out for peace of mind, knowing they won’t have to worry about whether the borrower can continue making payments.
