What is a Note or Mortgage?
If someone owes you money and is making regular payments to you, and you have a written agreement explaining the terms of repayment, then you are a Holder of a Promissory Note or IOU. If this "Note" is secured by property or real estate, it is usually called a Mortgage.
There are different types of Mortgages:
First, Second (and Third) Mortgages
Interest Only Mortgages
Balloon Mortgages
Fully Amortizing Mortgages
Wrap-Around Mortgages
What is a Security Deed?
A Security Deed is usually signed the same time the Promissory Note is created. The Security Deed gives the Lender a "security interest" in property or real estate, providing the Lender the opportunity to seize the property in the event of default by the Borrower.
A Security Deed may be called:
Deed to Secure Debt
Trust Deed
Land Contract
What is a Note Worth?
The value of a Note is influenced by a number of factors. We
only buy Notes which are discounted below 100% of the outstanding
balance. Discounts can range from 5% to 50%.
Factors influencing the value of a Note include:
the terms of the Note
the payment record of the Note
the type and location of the property securing the Note
the current value of the property securing the Note.
There are several purchase plans from which you can
choose.
Full Purchase -- a full sale of your Note. You are fully
relieved of the Note and are not entitled to any additional
payments from the Borrower or from us.
Partial Purchase -- We may purchase a stream of payments from
you, or we may purchase a part of each payment from you.
Similarly, we may purchase future payments from you, while you
retain a certain number of current payments. In all of these
situations, you retain an interest in the Note. and you also
receive cash up front for the interest you have sold.
Split Funding -- This is similar to a full sale in that you
are selling your entire interest in the Note. You receive a
portion of the Note's value immediately and the receive the
balance of the Note's value in the future. This structure may
also be called an installment sale.
As you can see, there are different ways to sell a Note, and we are willing to tailor a purchase plan to fit your specific needs. You can then choose the option you like best.
