Get Your Note Buying Business Started

So you're eager to get started in the note buying business and you're wondering what kind of non-performing notes are out there to buy. Here is an example to feed your appetite.

A Note Buying Opportunity

The Note Rate: 11.13%

The non performing note balance: $62,957 - total payoff amount $66,885

Estimated property value: approximately $112-114,000 (rough guess based on bank's BPO and Zillow's low range value - a cheap AVM to refer to) LTV (loan-to-value): 50%

Note Buying Exit

So the way I look at this: I could buy a $63K non-performing note at a 50% LTV for $56K.

If I could get the borrowers defaulted mortgage refinanced - I could probably payoff my loan for the full $66,885 within 60 days.

Within 2 months, you can make almost $12K on the $56K you paid.

My return on my note buying investment would be 21% cash-on-cash, without even annualizing!

A Second Note Buying Exit Strategy

Another route would be to bring the non performing loan current and reinstate the loan. (hint: sometimes a foreclosure action may get your borrower's to do something with their loan)

Reinstating the defaulted mortgage would cost your borrower $4,000 to reinstate, plus a monthly payment of $574. Within 1 year, you will have received $11,000, a 19% return.

If the borrower refinanced within 3 years you would get a 14.6% return on your note buying investment. (to calculate, you would amortize the return over 3 years)

And even if they do nothing and you end up taking over the property, there is still about 50% equity that you have available.

Many ways to profit from from you note buying investment...
