Why should I sell my mortgage note?

Usually, a promissory note is acquired in lieu of the cash desired during a real estate transaction. If retained long enough, many notes will eventually pay off. However, late payments, insurance liabilities, tax problems and foreclosure may soon plague some
mortgage note holders. Even when these problems do not arise, many people would really prefer to have their cash now!

Will I have to discount my note or contract?
In most cases, the seller will be required to take a discount when the note/contract is sold. The amount of discount depends on the structure of the note.

Why are mortgages discounted?
Money received today is worth more than money due in the future. When a seller wishes to obtain a cash payoff, the mortgage must be discounted to make the yield attractive to an investor. The investor is also taking a risk.

How is my mortgage note worth determined?
The value of any note is based on a number of variables such as the down payment, interest rate, payment amount, and term, as well as the buyer's credit rating and payment history. The type,
condition, and value of the property will also be determining factors. Please fill out the Free On-line Data Form to find out.

Do I have to sell all of my note or contract?
Our investors have the ability to structure a purchase plan to fit your needs. If you do not want to sell your entire note/contract we can purchase a number of payments. Our experts tell us it's best to sell the entire note and get out of the picture altogether.
