Selling a mortgage note or selling a business note to AX is a very streamline process. We have the experience and
the know-how to provide you with reliable funding options, delivered in the shortest period of time. This is due to our 10+
years of funding experience on the primary and secondary markets.
We pride ourselves on three key factors when submitting a bid on your note:
1) Aggressive Offers and Pricing
2) Unmatched Professionalism and Client Courtesy
3) Unsurpassed Knowledge of the Entire Discount Cash Flow Industry
The process is actually very simple for the note seller. For your convenience, we included a step-by-step sample of the note
buying process below (both mortgage notes and business notes). We also include a description and a "note investor's
perspective" on how a mortgage note or business note is priced when reviewed for purchase by a note buyer. Of course a
every note buyer's investment appetite is different, although the underlining mortgage note or business note calculation
factors are all the same across the board.
This is something that all (well-informed) seller carry-back note holders should know when selling a note. It all comes down
to one major thing for a note buyer - RISK! This is something that a seller should keep in mind when they decide to sell a
privately-held loan.
Risk of non-payment, risk of borrower default, risk, risk, risk. No matter who you decided to sell a note to, any and all (smart)
mortgage note investors / business note buyers will first look to the asset's down payment or equity in the collateral
(i.e. - real estate, business equipment, inventory, etc.). The equity in the collateral determines how sound that loan would be
as an investment. The equity determines the loan's security level. The higher the risk, the less the loan is worth to a note buyer.
A good rule of thumb is: the less money one collects as a down payment, the less money the note is worth to a note buyer on
the secondary market. The reason being would be a high loan-to-value (of LTV)
Just to clarify, a poor down payment is 0% to 9%, a decent down payment is 10% to 14%, a good down payment is 15% to
20%, a great down payment is 21%-30% and an excellent down payment is 31% or more.
The very next factor all note buyers look at is the borrower's credit scores (Equifax Score, Trans-Union Score and Experian
Score or also called a Tri-Merger).
Just to clarify, a poor credit score is 600 or lower, a decent score is 601 to 675, a good score is 676 to 720, a great score is
720 to 780 and an excellent score is 780 or higher.
Most note buyers will only go down to a 600 credit score whereas we will go as low as a 525 FICO Middle-Score. After credit
the factor, the rest of the note's calculation will really vary between the buyers.
Here at AX, our note purchase criteria will also included but not be limited to: the loan's seasoning (payments received,
payments owed), property location/ RE market trends, loan payment records, relationship between borrower and seller,
loan's performance, etc. To learn more about structuring a business loan for resale click here, and to learn more about
