Does it make sense to purchase a million dollar note secured by a Beverly Hills mansion at 32% of the current market value? What are the opportunities and potential returns or pitfalls on this type of deal that doesn’t often come across a note investors desk? Are these types of deals something we should look for or avoid? Which way will the borrower go? Will they refinance, payoff, reinstate, file bankruptcy or will you find yourselves at the foreclosure auction with a big, six-figure payday? There are a lot of questions on nonperforming note deals with huge amounts of equity behind them. Scott Carson breaks down what he found doing due diligence on this asset and the “story behind the story” on this Beverly Hills mansion note deal. In this episode you will learn: · Why million-dollar borrowers can still have problems paying their mortgage like normal folks. · What are the different exit strategies and expected ROI on a deal of this magnitude? · The background on what might be causing this borrower to fall behind and what to watch out for if you are buying the note. · Why it makes sense to diversify your note portfolio instead of having such a large amount wrapped up in one deal. · The different possible strategies that a borrower might take to avoid losing their home to foreclosure and how it affects the note holder.

What's the big deal between these two loan products? We've all heard how expensive it is to buy a home in this crazy market. There is some discussion among policymakers and politicians to make the dream of home ownership more affordable by making the 40-year mortgage a common practice. Banks and government entities like Freddie and Fannie have often used a 40-year mortgage as a way for lenders to avoid borrowers going to foreclosure by stretching out the payments. What are the differences between a 30 and 40-year mortgage? Is there a big difference in monthly savings? Will more people be able to afford homes? Does it make a huge difference for the average American? Do note buyers like this idea? In this episode, Scott Carson breaks down the numbers on an apples vs apples basis and you'll learn: -When and how the 30-year mortgage became common. -The difference in monthly payment between the two terms. -The difference in mortgage balance in 7 & 10 years between the two. -How much do you need to make annually to afford either loan product on the same home? -How much equity will you build over 7 & 10 years given a constant rate of home appreciation? -How note investors adjust their bids when buying longer-term mortgages.

Only You Can Save Owner Financing in Texas It's a sad day when a regulatory body in Texas is working against property and business owners to make it extremely difficult to get an owner-financing transaction done. That's what it going on right now with the Texas Savings & Mortgage Lending Department (which handles licensing issues for mortgage companies and loan officers) which is proposing rule changes that would adversely affect your ability to sell your property, land, or business on seller financing. Link to the Seller Financing Coalition & Letter Campaign Watch the original video HERE! Currently, numerous proposed rule changes would harm future Texas home buyers, particularly those who are currently not well served by the financial services industry due to demographic and economic factors. These proposed rule changes will also hurt numerous small business owners and private home sellers. Two examples of harmful rule changes are: A. The Department’s new regulation requiring that all RMLO (Registered Mortgage Loan Originator) agents work for a bank or mortgage company harms Texas citizens in multiple ways. 1. RMLOs can no longer be self-employed despite their own efforts to become licensed professionals. 2. All prospective buyers must now seek to fit within the narrowing loan requirements imposed by banks and mortgage companies, etc. This denies access to credit to many hard-working people who are a) self-employed, b) buying vacant land, c) have lower incomes, and d) using multi-generational resources to qualify for homeownership loans. 3. It means private individuals or small businesses that already own homes or properties cannot hire an RMLO to qualify potential buyers as part of a seller-financing transaction. This prevents such sellers from complying with Dodd-Frank. B. To legally meet the growing demand for non-bank financing on homes and vacant land numerous individuals rely upon seller financing. Private individuals or small businesses in Texas who offer seller-financing for homes or land to other Texans, frequently use independent RMLOs. Using these independent RMLOs protects both the Buyer and the Seller. Given these facts, the following proposed language in “§56.100 Licensing Requirements” is rather harmful. “However, if the lender owns the residential real estate securing the loan and has exceeded the limit for exempt transactions as provided by Finance Code §156.202(a-1) (3), the lender must be licensed under Finance Code Chapter 156, regardless of whether the lender has secured the services of an originator as provided by this subsection.” This proposed verbiage goes beyond the SAFE Act and Dodd-Frank requirements and imposes a harsh “scarcity penalty” on disadvantaged buyers by severely restricting the number of properties that a non-lender seller can sell using seller finance. This harsh and unnecessary restriction on what private citizens in Texas can do (sell) with their own houses and land is unwarranted. In a time of shrinking inventory and rising demand removing assets and liquidity from the market place is harmful to all Texans. Here are some reasons an individual or small business will hire an RMLO as part of a seller-financed transaction A. The RMLO ensures that all Dodd-Frank regulations are followed for both the lender and the borrower (homeowner). B. The RMLO agent makes sure the borrower (homeowner) is economically qualified to buy (has the ability to pay) and understands the specifics of the loan. C. Not using an RMLO allows unsavory lenders to take advantage of naïve borrowers. D. Not using an RMLO may cause individuals or small Texas businesses to unknowingly violate Dodd-Frank and face federal charges and/or penalties that could cause financial duress, or unintentionally destroy and close small Texas businesses.
