       Negotiation starts from the moment you first connect with a note holder. "Scripts and Tips - A Handbook for the Serious Note Broker" was written to help you with just that. Every month I am asked about what to say to note holders when they contact you on that first phone call, when gathering information, giving the price and negotiating.  In addition, the book lists for you more specific questions for certain situations and property types including condo's, commercial properties and land. It also spells out a few of what I call "magic" questions to help you determine that all important motivation or need that the note holder must have if you are ever going to get them to accept an offer.

CA Licensing Issue

       I get asked about licensing issues all the time. If you are considering buying and selling seller financed notes secured by real estate you may want to do a little research on any regulations or licensing requirements your particular state may require.  Of the very few states that have any regulations at all, regulatory agencies are starting to crack down on non-complying or unlicensed note brokers. One such state is CA.Read More...


Question of the Week

Q - Hi Jeff,

          What aspect of seller financed notes differs from the notes we originate to secure the loans we give and why you don’t purchase them? I sincerely appreciate your taking the time to educate me on this.

                                                      ~ Jeremy 
A - Hi Jeremy!

          Thanks for the email!  Without writing another book here it goes... When you originate (give) loans you need to follow all the rules and regulations including things like RESPA, Truth in Lending, Regulation Z, etc.

          When an individual carries back a note to facilitate the sale of their property, they are not restricted by rules and regulations, they do not need to do ANY of the above. When we buy an existing seller financed note we become "holder's in due course", to keep it brief we "inherit" HOW the note came about.

          Can an originated note be sold, yes. We choose not to buy them because if we buy an originated loan those same rules and regulations would then apply to us as well and we would have to comply with everything that was required when originated.

          When we buy a seller financed note we are just like the seller's of the property and "inherit" the position from them when we buy the note. This is one of the main reasons why we usually ONLY buy true seller financed notes. What is a true seller financed note? As I putin my prior email to you, a seller financed note is one that came about when the seller of a property carried back the financing to facilitate the sale of that property. Hope this helps! TWITA!
