Frequently asked questions
General
Circumstances change and many sellers would prefer cash today rather than small payments that trickle in each month. Here are just a few reasons people have sold their note payments for cash:
• Retirement
• Taxes
• Other Investment Opportunity
• Expensive Medical Care
• Vacation
• College Tuition
• Paying off debt or medical expenses
• Settling estates for divorce
• Unexpected Financial Changes
• Peace of Mind – no more worrying if the buyer is going to make late payments or having to foreclose
• Accounting headaches, IRS regulations, paperwork hassles, and the list goes on…
The value of a note is affected by the down payment, interest rate, payment amount, and term as well as the buyer’s credit rating and payment history. The type, condition, and value of the property also impact the value of your note.
The time value of money, which makes payments due now more valuable than payments due in 20 to 30 years, also plays a role in the evaluation process. Generally, due to inflation, money in your pocket today is worth more now than later. All of these elements will be taken into consideration in determining the current value of your note.
Note value depends on several factors:
• Remaining balance and interest rate
• Payment history and seasoning
• Creditworthiness of the borrower
• Property type, location, and condition
• Terms of the note (e.g., balloon payments, amortization)

A note appraisal reflects the current market value of your payments similar to what a real estate appraisal provides for real property. Frequently referred to as a “quote” it shows what your future payments are worth in cash dollars today. We recommend you have your note evaluated once a year as pricing may change based on market conditions.
Yes. We offer flexible options:
• Full purchase – Sell 100% of the remaining payments
• Partial purchase – Sell a portion of the future payments and retain the rest
• Tail-end purchase – Sell the payments at the end of the term
Many people elect to sell just enough payments to meet their cash needs today and keep some of the future payments as an investment or nest egg. Always ask for an option that meets your needs.
Many of the items that affect the value of your note were determined at the time the property was sold. However, keeping good records of the payments received and requiring the buyer to provide annual proof of current property taxes and homeowners’ insurance will help maintain the value of your note.
The purchase price is paid in guaranteed funds (cashier’s check or wire transfer) upon receipt of the final transfer package and original documents. We are happy to wire funds to the title company so you may exchange your original documents for the proceeds, assuring the safe and secure transfer of your valuable asset.
