 TValue software is a must have tool for the note and cash flow industry and solves virtually any problem involving time and money. It will calculate the present value (buy price) of virtually ANY payment  schedule at any desired yield:  straight, ARM, skipped payments, balloons, annual  payments, quarterly payments, variable interest, reperforming notes you name it.  Just  try to stump it — you can’t. Use it for analyzing complex cash flows and  generating very professional amortization schedules. The applications of TVALUE  amortization software for the  note broker, note investor, real estate investor, etc. are  endless. With TValue amortization software, no note, loan, lease or any cash flow is too complex. No balloon payment is too difficult. No investment yield is a mystery.  This software is absolutely indispensable. Some national note investors insist note brokers own this software before they will even talk to them!

“If passion drives you, let reason hold the reins.”

– Benjamin Franklin



 President's Corner

       Don’t let becoming more efficient in your Note Business slow you down. Adapting to the many changes in the note business and real estate markets are what helps your business grow and survive for the long term.  Whether adapting means new technology, software or streamlining processes it needs to be done. Adapting can sometimes be daunting, no matter how much benefit is promised. You may find yourself prioritizing other activities over learning a new software program or creating a better process for your marketing as an act of avoidance. Perhaps you let others adapt first in hopes that you can learn from their experience and get help along the way. Even when you know that your business needs to improve its processes or approach change is hard for everyone, especially when there is already so much work to do, and so little time to do it. Getting past the anxiety of adapting to new systems or processes isn’t without effort, but the rewards of better communication, better quality service and happier note holders make it all worth it.  Remember, Success Demands Action! Keep on marketing, it’s going to work! TWITA!

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?

A - Hi Peggy!

          Thanks for the email! 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
