Opportunity and Creativity with Notes- Selling/Buying Partials
When an investor purchases all the remaining payments it is considered a full purchase. When an investor purchases just a portion of the remaining payments it is considered a partial purchase. In effect it is a 1st on a 1st. Once you have bought one cash flow, it’s easy to go to the performing payor and negotiate the next stream since the paperwork done on the initial deal saved. Typically the buyer of the partial gets paid before the assignor gets theirs. If the collateral is sold or goes through foreclosure the remaining balance goes back to the partial note buyer then to the partial seller
For example, a note has a balance of $100,000 at 10% Early Pay off interest payable in monthly installments of $878 with 360 months (or thirty years) of payments remaining. When the seller sells all 360 remaining payments of $878 to an investor it would be considered a full purchase.
If the investor only sold the first 132 monthly payments of $878 each for $69,900 to a partial investor thus considered a partial sale. Once the partial note buyer received the next 132 months of payments, the note would be reassigned to the investor and the investor would collect the remaining 228 payments (360 total payments less investors partial sale of 132 payments leaves 228 payments remaining to the investor).What You Get The back end –remaining payments could be placed in the investors Roth IRA.

Loan Servicers are more affordable than real estate property managers. Property managers can be anywhere from 8-10% of gross rents, sometimes lower if given a large number of units and they often charge one month’s rent to find a tenant. Loan servicers, on the other hand, have a onetime set up charge of @ $25-$100 or so, and monthly fees can range from $10-25/month. There can be similar monthly cash flow on a performing note, as there is on a typical rental property. Many times, real estate investors leave a substantial amount of money in a property, in the form of sweat equity, (70-80% LTV).
