Quote of the Week

 

If you're trying to achieve, there will be roadblocks. I've had them; everybody has had them. But obstacles don't have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.

― Michael Jordan



 President's Corner

       Negotiation is a skill that can be learned like any other and this month I am giving you four tips on negotiating in the Note Business.  My fourth and final tip this month is the best one, Play a Mind Trick on Yourself.  Many men and women may feel greedy or selfish for asking for something on their own behalf.  According to the American Psychological Association study, the answer may be to pretend that you’re asking for someone else.

          When you’re getting ready to negotiate with a note holder, imagine that you’re doing it on behalf of a colleague (try underwriter). Look at your hard work and experience objectively, and try to view yourself as you would view the colleague. As you become increasingly comfortable with negotiating, you can be an even bigger part of the solution to solve the note holders problem. When it’s time to sit at the negotiating table, you’ll be trained and ready to drive a hard bargain.

          Remember, Success Demands Action! Keep on marketing, it’s going to work! TWITA!

Question of the Week

Q - Hi Jeff,

          I've been working through your Calculator Secrets book which has explained everything very well, however, there is one scenario that I"ve been trying to solve in which I can't seem to find the answer for in your book. The best way to ask this question is to set up an example, so here it goes...Note Terms:
N=360
I = 8%
PV = $148,000
PMT = $1085.97
FV = 0
         Suppose the note holder calls and says he needs $50,000. How would you calculate the number of payments to buy in order to yield 14% return? I think I've figured out how to do it, but I wanted to check with the pro to be sure that I'm doing it correctly. Thanks for your help.
                                                     ~ Kristin

Hi Kristin!
          Great question! Here is what we have:
N=360
I = 8%
PV = $148,000
PMT = $1085.97
FV = 0
          To calculate how many payments to purchase to give the seller $50,000 and receive a 14% yield you change PV to -50,000 (don't forget to make it negative) you change I/YR to 14 and then solve for (push) N
N = ?
I = 14
PV = -50,000
PMT = 1,085.97
FV = 0
         And you should get N = 66.42 round up to 67. So you would buy 67 payments to get a 14% yield and give the seller $50,000. Hope this helps!
