How to Buy Mortgage Notes

The first logical step in generating large returns on investment capital is to figure out how to buy mortgage notes. It begins with understanding the risk & return of buying the note. Think about it this way, if you were to buy a stock, you'd first like to do some due diligence on the company. Maybe find out if they're profitable, whether they have a good business model, or even if you trust the team running the company. In the same way, you can evaluate the risk of a real estate note by determining probability that the borrow will actually repay the note. You'd then figure out your potential return by calculating the unpaid balance (UPB) and considering the interest rate. There are quite a few types of mortgage notes. One way to categorize them would be sorting them into performing notes & non-performing notes. Performing notes would be situations where the borrower is current on their payments. Non performing notes are situations where the borrower has stopped making payments or violated the terms of the note in some other way. The other way could be an expired balloon payment.

Both performing & non-performing notes trade at a discount to UPB. The discount you can expect as a note buyer on a performing notes is smaller than you might expect on a non-performing note. The reason being that the non-performing notes require more work to realize a return. You must either work out a new payment plan with the borrower or foreclosure to recover your investment. The bigger the discount, the larger the return. Assuming you an actually get paid.

Brian and I discuss the process of buying mortgage notes in detail during the episode. Perhaps a better question: "How are these mortgage notes created? What is the source?"

Creative Financing Real Estate Methods-the Key to No Money Down Deals

Find the source, cut out the middleman, and you put yourself in the most powerful position for profit, right? So the source of mortgage notes is to be the money lender yourself. You could lend hard money to rehabbers short term and easily earn 10%-15% returns on your money. However, unless you have a contact with a rehabber who is doing volume, the returns might be inconsistent. Instead you might consider creative financing real estate deals.

Here's how it works. You purchase the property at a lower price, then resell the property at a higher price. You collect a large down payment and arrange terms of payment for he remainder-creating a note & mortgage in the process. Of course this is a very oversimplified version of events-I suggest attending the upcoming REI Note School masterclass mentioned below for a full training.

Many note investors begin investing in real estate through the conventional route. Maybe buy a rental property or flip a few houses. Then the drag of owning rental property wears down returns. Note investing removes the investor from the day to day responsibility of owning property, such as maintenance, evictions, vacancy, you name it. Note investing allows you to set the terms, set up the payment processing and just check monthly to see that the payments are being made.
