BUSINESS NOTESRESIDENTIAL NOTES How does note buying work?If the seller needs cash in the future, their promissory note can be a negotiable instrument. The seller can sell the promissory note to a notebuyer who will buy the note for a lump sum of cash. The seller now has the cash needed and all you do is change the name and address of who you send your mortgage payments to. The seller can also sell just a part of the promissory note with an agreement that the mortgage payments would only go to the Notebuyer until that debt was paid off.

HOW DOES THIS PROGRAM BENEFIT THE BROKER? Currently in the note buying arena, a Broker is fortunate to acquire 75% to 80% loan to value on an "A" Credit transaction.

However, the "SELLER DIRECT" Program will require borrower cooperation, Borrower qualification based on credit criteria and may need seller participation by providing subordinate financing.

Back to TopIs there a guideline to help me use the simultaneous close to help me sell my property quicker?This is a guideline to assist you with a simultaneous close, where a note is take back by the seller and sold to a Lender at the settlement table. Situation: A Realtor or Buyer informs National Notebuyers that a seller is willing to take back a mortgage if it can be sold without too much of a discount. A. The following needs to be known:

Balloons are better than straight amortizing loans. If acceptable to the buyer, a balloon payment is inserted into a place in time where the balloon amount does not exceed 80% of the sale price for residential or 70% for commercial. For instance, if the sale price of the house is $100,000 and the balloon at 60 months is $85,762.21; move the balloon out to 96 or 120 months until it is below $80,000.

Back to TopWhat is a Privately-Held Business Note?A typical privately-held business note is a note accepted by the seller for some given portion of the proceeds for the sale of a business that has no real estate attached. Typically, such a business would be located in an office complex, mall, strip mall or elsewhere with the building being leased. Most of the value of business notes is “Goodwill,” making them much riskier than mortgage notes. Typically, the Furniture, Fixtures & Equipment has a value less than 20% of the note, which quickly becomes nearly zero, should it become necessary to foreclose. How big a discount is there on the note?It is impossible to tell until we get all the data and documents from you, the note holder. Each note is different. Maturity date, interest rate, number of payments received, the credit of the payor etc. all influence the amount paid for the note. How is the value of my note determined?There are many factors used in determining the value of any note. Some of these factors are: outstanding balance, length of time until the note matures, whether or not there is a balloon, value of the property, type of business, seasoning (how long the note has been held), the interest rate being charged, credit-worthiness of the business buyer, location of the business, method of payment requested by the seller and so on. I've heard the term "buying a partial". What does it mean?There are two basic ways to buy a note.
By buying only a portion of the remaining monthly payments on the note, instead of purchasing all of the payments, the note buyer is able to pay proportionately more for the note. Put another way, he can discount the note less. Very importantly, a partial purchase allows the later return of the note to you, the original seller, who can then collect the "back-end" payments. For example: There are 50 payments left on a 60 payment 5-year note. We arrange for the purchase of the next 20 payments due on the note. This is also referred to as purchasing a certain number of the "stream of payments." A partial purchase gives you, the note seller substantial cash immediately, and you also retain the right to collect the final 30 payments. The note buyer is in a better secured position with less risk, since he is laying out less cash for the partial, but does move into a first security position on the entire remaining note balance while he collects his 20 payments. This decrease of risk to the buyer, with less capital investment, is the main reason that he can pay proportionately more for the note. After the buyer collects the 20 payments, the remaining 30 payments revert back to you, the original note seller. By calculating the cash paid for the note plus the 30 remaining payments multiplied by the monthly payment; the total received by you, the seller (cash at purchase plus back-end payment total) is quite attractive. This total amount often comes very close to the original remaining balance of the note at the time it was sold. This is what makes a partial purchase so attractive to you, the seller. In many cases you are better off
financially by selling a portion of the stream of payments instead of the
entire note (full purchase). Additionally, what often happens is that after
the note is returned to you, the original note seller, you may want to then
sell the remaining back end payments a second time to raise more cash. Do you have questions?
