"Mortgage Note Buyers - Are They Really Helping You Get The Most Money For Selling Your Mortgage Note?"All Mortgage note holders want to know more about selling their mortgage note. Don't you? Well the popular way to get a lump sum of cash for
your future payments is by using a mortgage
note buyer. But beware!
Most people don't realize they have different creative options when
using a contract buyer that can keep them from getting
the most money for their owner-financed mortgage note.
It may seem scary or challenging, but truly it is not, unless you do not know the answer to this question. Can I receive cash now and still hold part of the note? In other words do I have to sell all of my note at once?
At first glance this may seem obvious that this is the best choice, because it will get you the most money up front. For some people it
is. When it comes down to it, it is up to you and
your needs. If you need or want a large all
cash payment and want to be out of the deal, rid
of headaches and worries of a default buyer, avoid
destruction of property, taxes and
insurance, and would like a larger sum of money now
instead of collecting small
monthly checks, then a full sale is best.
But lets take a look at some more needs. If you are just looking to get a larger down or some money to take care of some immediate needs or
pleasures then a partial
payment may be better. Maybe you just want
to just lessen the amount of strain or
burden of carrying the note and would like to sell
just a portion of each monthly
payment. Then a split payment option will be
better for you. (this way you can vacation,
consolidate bills, by a new car)
What is a Partial? A partial is the purchase of a portion of an income streams remaining payments, or a purchase of a portion of a specific payment, or any
combination thereof.
There are many times when this may make sense. Lets say that you have a new note and it has not been seasoned (Length of time that a
note has been in place and paid on),
it has little or no down payment, and has poor credit
by the payer. In this case it would
be better to sell only part of the future
payments. It will get you more money in the long
run because the mortgage note buyer would have less
risk should the buyer default on the
note. Then after the note has experienced
seasoning you could sale the rest of the
payments at a much higher percentage.
Lets look at an example of this: Sales Price: $100,000 Down Payment: $5,000 Original Note Balance: $95,000 Payers Credit: Poor Seasoning: 1 month Appraised Property Value: $100,000 Term: 360 Months Interest: 10% Remaining Payments: 359 This is a low quality note because the buyer is not putting much money down, the pay back period is very long, and the buyers credit is
bad. But you could still make out like
a bandit by selling it as a partial. Let's
say you sold the first 120 payments (10 years)
for $51,000. After the 120th payment the contract
would be returned back to the you.
The balance owed to you would be $86,391.12.
You would then start to collect the
payments from then on. Lets see how this
looks.
Sales Price: $100,000 Down Payment: $5,000 Original Note Balance: $95,000 Contract Written For 30 years @ 10% Montly Payment: $833.69 Note Buyer purchases first 120 payments for: $51,000 Total Cash to home seller $56,000 (Down Payment + Cash From Note Buyer) After 120 Payments contract is returned to you with a balance of $86,391.12 Total Money To You: $142,391.12 (including interest). Not shabby for a house that sold for $100,000. So what is a Split? A split is a purchase of a specified monthly amount. If your getting to the point where you would like to enjoy some finer things in life,
while still receiving a good monthly
income, then a split payment is a great choice for
you.
For example, if the monthly payment on a seller-financed note is $1,000, we could purchase $200, $500, $750, etc. of the monthly
payment. This will allow you to get
cash now and then still collect a monthly income from
the note.
All in all, each situation is different and may need be tailored differently to meet your needs. I can't say exactly what you will get
for your individual situation, but I can say
that you should walk away happy. Selling
your mortgage note should be much easier
and more profitable now that you are armed with some
creative options.
