Feature Article

Why Doesn't it work?

          Whether you are new in the business or experienced in the cash flow industry it is my opinion that our number one job as a note broker is to find the deals. The majority of a note broker’s time is spent on the marketing of their business. I would venture to guess that 60-70% or more of my time is spent trying to find notes. The other 30%-40% is split between the due diligence involved with accepted transactions and business management... Read More...


Question of the Week

Q - Hi Jeff,

          If someone has an underlying debt in the same amount they've written a note to a new buyer for, what are their options if any for selling the note? A woman called me with $108K debt to Chase and she wrote $108K note with buyer. (30 yr, 6.0910%, $10K down, 5 months paid, $1100/mo., has owned property 5 years) Now she'd like to remove some or all of the Chase debt from her credit report for purposes of qualifying to purchase a new home, any suggestions? ~ Pegi H. 

                                                                                            

 A - Hi Pegi! 
          In order for us to buy a note with an underlying the underlying would have to be paid off out of the proceeds.   So in this case if we were to buy the $108,000 note at say $80,000 the seller would have to PUT IN the additional $28,000 to pay off the underlying to Chase.  In my 21 years of buying notes I have only closed 1 transaction where the seller put money into a deal to pay off an underlying note (and it was only about $5,000).
Hope this helps!  TWITA! ~ Jeff
