5 REASONS TO CONSIDER SELLING YOUR NOTE NOW

Think about your past. Has everything gone as you planned that it would? Have there been twists and turns that have defined the ways that you think about things now?
In reality, life is very unpredictable, and so is the value of your mortgage note. Sadly enough, there are far more negative things that can affect the value of your property between now and the time when your mortgage balance is finally paid off. If you’ve been tempted to sell your note early, but were talked out of it for some reason, you’re in the right place.
We’ll show you 5 reasons to consider selling your note now to make the most out of your investment in consideration of your future:
1. Your balance now is the highest that your house will ever be valued.
While your note balance decreases, so does the cumulative pay price, and you’re typically better off getting the chunk of cash you want now, despite what lenders have probably told you. In reality, you’ll get the best quote on your property when your balance is higher, which is why it’s generally better to sell your note for cash now (with the remaining balance in tact rather than a whole note sell later on.
2. Inflation will inevitably make your home worth less over time.
The value of the dollar is going to go down- statistically. You should expect the value of your house to dwindle, even in the unlikely occurrence of some fantastic economic upturn (we think you’ll agree that it’s unlikely). Inflation is almost guaranteed as the Federal Reserve resorts to printing more money.
3. Sometimes it’s impossible to foresee financial difficulty and possibly defaulting.
Even if you’ve got a stable job, good credit history, pay history, healthy and saved money, there’s always a chance of circumstances (out of your control) that could drastically affect your ability to make timely payments, and if you default, it’s unlikely you’ll be able to sell when you want.
4. Your property could decrease in value, more than you’d think.
Trends have said that real estate is back on the upswing in late 2015, but the location and condition of your home affect the price more than anything else. Your note loan gives your home more selling power, because the bank has a set “price” for your home. As the property value decreases so does the loan-to-value ratings.
5. Changes to buying status and criteria could ruin your chances to sell.
Smart sellers never count their chickens before they hatch, because brokers are constantly changing criteria and making new deals. Sells today don’t necessarily equate to sells at a later date, especially in changing markets.
Don’t get caught in a loser’s market. Take our 5 reasons to consider selling your note now to heart; and make the smart decision to secure your financial future NOW and get the home that you really want.

KNOW WHEN TO SELL YOUR NOTE

The old adage of knowing when to hold and knowing when to fold is even more true when it comes to selling your mortgage note. In fact, there are a huge number of perspective sellers who have no idea that they haven’t got to sell the total today, and we’re finding more and more advantages associated with holding/retaining part of your note.
When it comes to your mortgage note, sometimes it just doesn’t make sense to sell the whole thing, or it’s just not a viable, safe option. It’s important to realize that your home is your biggest investment, and as such, when you’re not able to sell your note at the price that you want, you’re set to lose a sizable chunk of money via your houses depreciation values. More often than not, because of the diminishing rates of return on homes, most buyers will only purchase full notes with large amounts of equity.
You’ll have your work cut out for you to determine how to best interest a potential buyer to determine the value of your home (through a loan to value ratio or LTV). This works by simply dividing what your note is worth by the value of the property. When you’re unsure, use your sales price as an estimate to get a ball park estimate.
Here’s an easy example of a loan to value ratio equation:
Your Property Value: $200,000/ Your Remaining Balance: $100,000 = LTV of 50%
When it comes down to a small number like the one above, you’ll have a great chance to sell the property. Most buyers will purchase a full when the LTV when the value is below 70% of the value. Most are looking for at least a 30% equity margin, proving that you’re invested in your home to use against the risk of foreclosure.
When it comes down to it, generally your mortgage notes fall well short of equity requirements, and therefore aren’t complete to sell. When you’ve got a particularly high LTV, your rate of return isn’t going to make you much money- which is when selling a partial is more important.
We’ve compiled a few Pros and Cons to help you make your decision:
Pros
  • More cash in your pocket, and freedom from your note requirements
  • No risk of default to the bank, giving you less management on your mortgage
  • Easiest transaction process imaginable
Cons
  • Bigger Discount on property value levels
  • You’ll lose property retention opportunities
  • Lost income, and the costs of lost interest
  • Sometimes you’ll face equity restrictions
While it might not make sense to sell your whole full mortgage, it often makes more sense to use a smaller amount of cash to pay off a big bill (i.e. taxes, car payments, deferments) when you don’t want to take all of the cash out of your note, or only want to retain enough of the income to get a little cash today.
Many sellers don’t need to sell the whole note, and understand that buying partials benefits them more in the long run, so many sellers will be interested your note when you’re selling a partial for a little extra pocket cash.

NOTE BUYERS VS NOTE BROKERS

Many believe that the terms “note buyer” and “note broker” are the same, and that either can be used to describe a company which buys mortgage notes in exchange for cash. However, there is a key difference which is important to understand, and it may seriously impact you if you do not.
Note brokers are like real estate brokers.It is their job to bring sellers and investors together by locating mortgage notes for sale and buyers. The broker acts as the middle man, dealing with the transaction between the investor and seller. Funding does not come from the broker. They have to find funding from either an investor or note buyer, which can increase the time it takes to sell your note.
However, despite this, there are benefits from using a broker. There are far more note brokers around than there are note buyer, so the chances are there will be one around locally.
So, what makes a note buyer different? Unlike brokers, note buyers are usually big companies that offer their services across America. A third party is not needed as buyers can get notes straight from the seller.
Take, for example, Nationwide Secured Capital. We can buy mortgage notes directly since we have our own funds. As you can imagine, there are multiple advantages of using a note buyer over a note broker.
One bonus is that transactions take place much quicker. The buyer doesn’t have to go looking for an investor to put up the funding. Another plus is the clear underwriting. Buyers will have particular guidelines which determine whether they can make a purchase and, with a note buyer, they are able to notify promptly whether they can or not.
Experience is important in this industry, and note buyers have plenty of it. You have to be a note broker before you can become a note broker, and Nationwide Secured Capitals 17+ years as a broker is invaluable experience.
As you can see, note buyers and note brokers have differences, and both have their benefits. Ultimately, you must make the decision about which you would rather use.

Do I need an Appraisal?

When you have decided to sell your mortgage note, there are a few things to expect. One of them is an inspection of some kind.Mortgage note buyers will want to know the condition of the property that the note is secured by. At the minimum, and depending on the note buyer, a Broker’s price opinion, or BPO, will take place.

What is the difference between inspections, appraisals, and BPO’s?

An inspection can range from a typically a general observation of the exterior of the property to a complete home inspection. The information from an inspection may include whether or not the property is occupied, if there is any apparent damage to the property and whether there is any obvious threat that could impact the value of the property. A general inspection can done by almost any person and can include a general “drive by” of the property.

A complete home inspection will include what a person walking through a house cannot see. This inspection will tell you if the foundation is cracked or if the A/C unit is about to die. Other items inspectors may note are termite damage, roof condition, electrical issues, plumbing issues, drainage, and flooring problems. These home inspections should be completed by licensed or certified inspectors

A BPO is performed by a real estate professional, not necessarily a broker. It can be an appraiser, a real estate agent, or a broker. It can be a “drive by” which will be the exterior of the property or can include the interior if the person has access. . BPO’s usually determine a general listing price when selling a home. A BPO can include the size, type, and age of the property. A complete BPO will have the characteristics of the neighborhood and some values of similar properties nearby.
An appraisal is more detailed than a BPO and often include statistics, analyzation of data, pictures, and other information related to the specific party. Appraisals will often include the interpretation of the information along with information from public records. Pictures of both the interior and exterior of the property will be taken. Notes about any architectural features, and necessary repairs will be used to support the valuation of the property. Appraisers are licensed or certified depending on the state. When the note buyer is ready to move forward with the purchase of the note, the seller will know what to expect when one of the above is requested.

The pool of eligible buyers who are qualified to purchase your property with a loan is considerably smaller than it was a few years ago.  This is due to the collapse of bank lending from bad loans the bank made.

THE NATIONWIDE SECURED CAPITAL DIFFERENCE

Robert Burke: Alright we are back. We’ve got another guest who’s another one of my favorites with Nationwide Secured Capital Company in California, Gene Powers are you on the line?
Gene Powers:  I’m here Robert. Good to hear you.
Burke: Well it’s always great to have you here. How is sunny California?
Powers: It’s doing well, Spring is springing in. The mild weather is wonderful this time of year.
Burke: Well that’s great. Hey you probably didn’t hear the first part of the show because you’re calling in from California and you don’t hear our show there. But we’ve basically taken the show to go over some things, a lot of questions, comments that people have written in. Some questions they’ve had. Of course, the number one question we get in regards to your company, Nationwide Secured Capital, you guys buy owner financed mortgages around the country. There are a lot of companies out there who do that. But what sets you guys apart from all the rest?
Powers: That’s a great question. You’re right Robert. There are probably more companies and brokers that you can shake a stick at. Out there. As soon as you go out and start looking to sell your note, you’re going to find a lot of them. Our company is an established, experienced investment firm. These notes, brokerage that buys real estate mortgage and contracts, Nationwide, we can buy them in any of the 50 states, on all kinds of properties, land, commercial, apartments, duplexes, single family, et cetera. And that investment experience is essential to providing sellers firm and reliable top of market pricing, and offers for their notes that meet their needs that will actually make it to closing. Without a cancelation or change. Many of the buyers out there are new brokers or brokers who don’t fully understand what investors require. They’ve purchased very few, if any notes for themselves. And many of them are novices so a company like ours can help a seller get, provide an offer, a cash out offer that’s actually going to happen. That gets to the closing table.
Burke: Ok, let’s say someone out there has a note they would like to sell.  They want to get an offer from you. What do they do? What’s the step?

What Do Note Buyers Purchase?


A note buyer is a person or group who purchases real estate notes, promissory notes, and even land contracts in exchange for cash. The alternative name for the note buyer is the real estate linen note. It can also be defined as the use of a promissory note. This promissory note is always associated with the mortgage loan. In simple words it is a way of taking loan through a promise that will be mentioned in the written form. This written format will include all the details about the loan, money and the rate of interest payable every month. It will also include the details of the actual amount of money that should be repaid. The person who applies for loans through such arrangements will be called as a note buyer. This specific note that is the promise that will be mentioned in the written format will also include the time limit that is specified to repay the loan. The person willing to take this kind of loan will sign this agreement listed on this paper by which he will be agreeing to repay the amount within that specified time. The note buyer system also includes mortgaging any valuable property as a security against the loan. If the person opting for the loans under any circumstances is not able to repay the loan within the agreed time, the lender can pledge the mortgaged property. It is always advised that the note buyer should thoroughly go through the list or written details before singing on it. That is because every note differs from each other depending on lots of factors.


Where Can You Find Note Buyer Information

Getting a hold of mortgage notes, and reselling them to a mortgage note buyers do not require a license. But one must re-structure the deal in a proper fashion when selling mortgage notes. Through the process of selling mortgage notes, whether you work individually or with a mortgage note buyer is up to you.

Find Investors, Attorney and More:  Look up any Real Estate Investors, builders, developers, even divorce attorneys and they will be able to assist you in this area.

Networking: It is recommended to develop a referral network if possible. Develop relationships with people who can grant you access to notes. One of the best ways to get a hold of the right people is through LinkedIn. Some banks may not give you the time of day if you simply call them, but a professional networking service like LinkedIn can help you forge meaningful (and profitable) relationships with the right people.

Contact Banks: The best way to contact the banks is to go through a homeowner. They have to talk to you if you represent the homeowner. Begin your conversation as if you’re doing a short-sale, then segue it into buying the note. If the bank won’t buy the note, then you can turn it over to another agent who will do a short-sale, and pay you a referral fee.

Private Companies: Of course, the best way to make the most money when you sell mortgage notes is to look for private companies. These companies are usually interested in selling notes, sometimes in pools of three or four at a time.

Commercial Property May Be Easier Than You Think

Buying or selling commercial real estate can be a complicated process. There are many factors to take into account for the optimal transaction. Educating yourself ahead of time is the best way to make the process go smoothly, easily, and profitably. The following tips are geared to get you started on the path to success.

Commercial loans for real estate require a higher down payment on the property that is being purchased. Spend some time learning about the different commercial lenders in your area to find the one that has the best reputation with borrowers. This is sure to make a big difference when you are trying to get a loan.

One important tip to remember when investing in commercial real estate is that you need to approach it differently in every aspect than residential real estate. This is important to know ahead of time because you will need a much higher down payment ratio, and you also need to find out which lenders will cater to your particular situation. One aspect that is safer than residential real estate is the fact that your own personal credit will not suffer if there are negative unforeseen circumstances that cause the deal to end prematurely.

Hire a professional to rent out your income properties. Saving money can be tempting when it comes to doing it yourself, but the time involved and the pitfalls of making a mistake with a renter are not worth it. Your time is valuable. Let a property manager take care of your investment for you.

If your rental's, laundry facility has a bulletin board, make sure that you talk to the property management to see if it is okay for you to display your advertisement or want ad. Some rentals don't allow the display of every ad or sign and they must pre-approve it before public display.

Most apartment complexes make you, the tenant, pay for the water you use every month. However, some places go as far as to taking the amount of water your whole building used in a given month and splitting it up among the number of units using it. If you use less water than everyone else, you can end up paying for someone else's water usage. Make sure that you know of these water usage regulations before signing a lease.

Whether you want to get into real estate or you've been into it for a while, visit some websites that will help you find out how to invest in commercial real estate. You can never learn too much about commercial real estate, so make it your aim to always keep adding to your store of knowledge about the subject.

You should be certain that your asking price is a fair offer for your piece of real estate. Many different factors can influence the real worth of your property.

If inspections are included in your real estate transaction, as they usually are, make a request to see the inspectors' credentials. Pay particular attention to the credentials of any pest-control experts because many of them are not licensed. This will avoid bigger problems in the post-sale.

Like many other things in life their are specific "selling" seasons even in real estate. For home owners this is typically around the beginning of the year, but there is more flexibility for commercial real estate. Make sure that you do some research in your area to see when is the high buying and selling season.

The successful purchase or sale of commercial property requires knowledge and skill. The same techniques that apply to residential real estate may not work in the commercial market. These tips ensure that you know the proper methods to apply to your commercial real estate transaction for the most lucrative results.

WHO CAN BUY A PROMISSORY NOTE?

Promissory notes exist for almost anything out there that can be bought and require a loan. When a loan is made, a promissory note is created. These notes can then, in turn, be sold. Thousands of notes are sold every year. Who buys these notes? What should one look for when selling their note?A promissory note is basically a document which states the borrower has promised to pay money on what is owed (loaned) on the item. This can include all types of real estate: houses, mobile home, multi-family homes, land, commercial, and so on.Banks hold the majority of mortgage notes but it is possible for individuals and companies to also buy and hold notes.

How does an individual hold a promissory note?

The most common situation where a person ends up holding a note is when there is owner financing. When a person sells for example, a house, and offers the buyer owner (or seller) financing rather that the buyer getting a mortgage through a traditional bank, the owner then holds the note to the house. The buyer will then pay the loan back directly to the original owner of the house. There are times when the note holder has decided he or she no longer wants to be the holder of the note due to the demands of paperwork, requirements of the IRS, or maybe they need money up front. Where does this note holder turn to in order to sell the note?Individual people do buy promissory notes but it is wise to go with an established company who has the experience, knowledge and funds to buy notes.

What to gather Record keeping is essential.

Gather all records of payments received, property insurance policies, property tax payments as well as the original information on the details of the note such as property address, interest rate, amount of the loan, and the terms. The potential buyer of the note will probably want a current credit report of the borrower.What to expectFirst of all, do not expect to get full value of the note. Buyers of notes are in the business of buying and generally offer a discount on the notes value. The risk does exist of the note defaulting. Plus the time and effort to buy the note all this equals a discount on the value of the note. Depending on a number of factors, expect an offer of anywhere from 60 to 90% of value of the note.

This could be more or less depending how each situation plays out. You as the seller will be getting your cash up front while the new note holder assumes all the future risks.When selling your note, it is best to go with an established company that has seen and experienced almost all note buying cases out there. Many work with notes that range in the few thousands to the millions of dollars when they are backed by large financial investors. Nationwide Secure Capital is one such company that has the experience, knowledge and financial capabilities to handle the sale of your promissory note.

Tips & Tricks About Real Estate Investing

Do you want to learn how to invest? Have you see others profit from it? You can also achieve success in the real estate market. It just takes some knowledge. Apply these tips, and get started right now.

As with any investment, you should do research, analyze the risks and invest wisely. Investigate as many as 100 individual properties in that area; track your notes with a spreadsheet or database. Things to look at include repair budgets, expected rent, and current prices. You can easily spot which deals are good and which deals are bad this way.

Always have any property inspected by a professional, third party before investing. Though the seller may offer to pay for an inspection, they might use someone who is biased. The inspector should be a completely neutral party.

Investing in retail and industrial properties requires that you pay attention to two things. First, you shouldn't overpay for where you buy things.
