How To Create The Perfect Note With 10-10-10!

December 2, 2018
Create The Perfect Note

Hey again and thank your for visiting SellMyMortgageNoteForCash.com. Today, this blog about how to create the perfect note could be one of the best blog posts ever so pat yourself on the back for reading this one.

I know I know.. you think I’m exaggerating. Well… you couldn’t be more wrong when it comes to selling a mortgage note.

The 10 – 10 – 10 mortgage note principle or what I sometimes like to call the Power of 10 is probably one of the most important factors in maximizing your note value. There’s even a video tutorial on what I mean.

In the meanwhile, let me explain What exactly am I talking about when I mention the power of 10 or more accurately 10 – 10 – 10?

The three 10s refer to the following 3 factors which play a crucial role in determining a mortgage notes value.

#1 – Down Payment

#2 – Interest Rate

#3 – Repayment Term

Here’s why the number 10 is so important when it relates to those 3 factors for a mortgage note.

In a perfect world, you would be creating a brilliant mortgage and maximizing its value if you could pay attention to the number 10 for the above 3 factors.

Here’s what I mean.

First things first, you want to create a morgage note where the buyer/borrower puts at least 10% down on the property.

Second, you would be creating a very attractive mortgage note for sale if you could get the borrower to pay a 10% interest rate.

And…

Thirdly, if you can get the term of the mortgage loan to be no more than 10 years, you have in essence hit the trifecta of creating a mortgage note with great value.

Of course it may be difficult to create a mortgage note with all 3 factors in place but if you are in a position to create a mortgage note and you want something to shoot for, always remember the 10-10-10 principle and it will always steer you in the right direction.

So there you have it. The perfect recipe to create a mortgage note of maximum value to the open mortgage note buyers out there. I hope you enjoyed this latest post from Sell My Mortgage Note For Cash.

How To Keep Your Mortgage Note Storage To Maximize Its Value

Mortgage Note Safety

Hey again and thank your for visiting SellMyMortgageNoteForCash.com. I’m glad you’re here to learn on Mortgage Note Storage and hoping you are enjoying this tutorial series of blog posts regarding selling your mortgage note.

How To Keep Your Mortgage Note Storage To Maximize Its Value

Today we are going to talk about an overlooked aspect of creating and managing mortgage notes; mortgage note storage!

Sounds pretty boring I know. In fact, it’s a subject overlooked very often in the real estate mortgage business but it shouldn’t be because it’s pretty damn important.

Truth is, if you create a mortgage note but have horrible administration skills in regards to keeping the documents safe, you may as well not even create a mortgage note. How come you ask?

Because the mortgage note and the documents you create in conjunction with it are the documents that keep your interest and ownership safe. Without proper documentation you no longer have an asset of value but rather useless pieces of paper you can’t do anything with.

Now that you realize the documents created are where the true value lies, how should you protect them?

My advice is to keep your original note in a safe place such as a safe deposit box or a fireproof safe in your home. Make a photocopy to keep with your trust deed and other escrow papers but keep the originals in a safe deposit box.

There are two reasons for this precaution.

First, the note is not recorded in the county recorder’s office. The deed of trust is. If you lost your deed of trust, you could simply get another copy at the recorder’s office.

Second, your note is a negotiable instrument which means it can be endorsed on the back just like a check. And also just like the title of your car. You wouldn’t keep an un-cashed check or the title of your car lying around for someone else to easily steal would you?

As such, make sure you properly store and house your mortgage note paperwork as well because just like an un-cashed check and the title of your car, the documents are a very important asset.

I hope you enjoyed this post and now have a better understanding of how important it is to keep your mortgage note documents safe. Thank you for visiting Sell My Mortgage Note For Cash.

How to Create a Quality Mortgage Note!

November 24, 2018

Ok so you’re thinking about selling a home with some owner financing and want to create a quality mortgage note. Before you do however, wouldn’t it be nice to know what terms you should create for the mortgage note to maximize it’s value. Well, if that interests you, this blog post should set you in the right direction to create a good quality real estate note.

How To Create A Quality Mortgage Note!

As such, this could be the most important blog post of the sell my mortgage note for cash series.

So here we go!

Here are some simple steps of creating a good quality mortgage note.

Here Is A Typical Owner Financing Mortgage Note Example:

A seller has a free and clear property (meaning there are no mortgage liens against it) that he/she was trying to sell. Unfortunately, the price the seller is trying to get is $90,000 which is exactly what the home is worth per a recent market value appraisal done on the property.

The seller is having trouble finding buyers though and they are too stubborn to drop the price. Since the home appraised for $90,000, the seller refuses to sell for less than full market value. In fact, the seller might even consider renting the property out if they don’t get full value for the home.

Then one night the seller has a thought.

Hey… why don’t I make the sale of this home more attractive by offering some type of owner financing. This way, the house will appeal to a lot more buyers.

As such, the seller comes up with the following owner financing structure.

Since they know the home is worth $90,000 from a recent market value appraisal, they feel they can sell the home for maybe $10,000 more since they are now willing to offer very attractive owner financing. As such, here’s how they structure the owner financing.

Seller agrees to sell the home for $100,000.

Buyer gives seller a $10,000 cash down payment and seller carries back a purchase money Note and Deed of Trust for $90,000.

Why did the seller do this?

Because… seller was getting no action on the property when trying to sell it for $90,000 cash (the appraised value). Potential buyers would have had to pay all cash or qualify for a loan which made it un-appealing for most buyers.

So instead, seller offered to sell the property for $100,000 with 10% cash down payment to attract more buyers.

Now the seller was able to cash a quick $10,000 cash in the form of a down payment while at the same time creating a mortgage note of value with a face value of $90,000. Assuming the buyer has decent credit and the buyer continues to make payments on time on this newly created mortgage note, the seller just created something of great value.

If ever the seller gets tired of receiving monthly payments on this mortgage note, they can always consider selling this owner finance note for a lump sum of cash. These are the types of mortgage notes that get bought up constantly.

That’s it for now till next time. I hope you enjoyed this quick lesson from sell my mortgage note for cash.

Mortgage Note Safety – What exactly is Loan to Value and why it’s important.

November 19, 2018

Mortgage Loan To Value | Its Importance And Why

Welcome to yet another tip from sell my mortgage note for cash. What exactly is the Mortgage Loan to Value and why is it important?

Today we are going to discuss one of those acronyms in the Mortgage Note world that sometimes people get confused about.  Truth be told, it’s quite simple to understand really and if you’re going to get involved in mortgage notes in any way, it’s very important you understand this concept.

So today we are going to be talking about Mortgage Note Safety and the mortgage note’s loan to value ratio… aka LTV.

Simply put… a low loan-to-value ratio makes your note safer and increases its resale value.

But what exactly is the loan-to-value ratio…aka LTV?

The loan-to-value ratio for your note is the sum of the current loan balance(s) for your loan and all senior loans divided by the current market value of the property securing the note.

Here are 2 scenarios.

(Scenario 1)
Loan Amount – 1st Lien Position = $100,000
Loan Amount – 2nd Lien Position = $0 (n/a)
Market Value of Property = $200,000

Loan to Value Ratio = 50% (100,000 / 200,000)

(Scenario 2)
Loan Amount – 1st Lien Position = $100,000
Loan Amount – 2nd Lien Position = $44,000
Market Value of Property = $200,000

Loan to Value Ratio = 72% (144,000 / 200,000)

In general… the lower your LTV, the more valuable your note.

Why?

Simple… the lower the LTV the more equity there is in the property.  Equity is simply defined as the difference between the market value of the home and the loans against it.

For example, let’s assume the home is worth $100,000 and there are 2 mortgages against the house equaling $65,000.  In this case, the equity is simply $35,000 which is the difference between $100,000 and $65,000.

With $35,000 in equity, investing in this mortgage note is way safer than investing in one that only has $5,000 in equity.

Assume the home is worth $100,000 but this time the mortgages against the property equal $95,000. In that scenario, there is only $5,000 of equity which means… if someone buys this note, there is only a $5,000 cushion in the home’s value before the amount owed against the home is more than the home’s value itself.

That’s a scary situation for mortgage note investors because home values can easily fluctuate $5,000 but it’s harder for them to drop $35,000 in value.  As such, the note against the home with $35,000 in equity is a way safer mortgage note investment than the one with only $5,000 in equity.

In LTV terms, the safer investment discussed above has an LTV of 65% as opposed to the more risky mortgage note LTV of 95%.

In summary, the LTV of your note and deed of trust on the property (first position, second position, etc.) is critical to the note’s value.  The lower the LTV the more attractive of a mortgage note you have.

Thank you for reading and I hope this explains Loan to Value a little better.  Be on the look out for my next tip here at Sell My Mortgage Note for Cash.
