Note buyers price by yield, not by guesswork. We take your monthly payment stream and calculate what we can pay today to earn our target return over the remaining term. That is why three things move your offer more than anything else: the buyer's down payment, the interest rate on the note, and the years remaining.
Want the number before you ever create the note? Structure your sale with 20%+ down at 10.9% interest on an 8 year term and your note will price near the top of the range. Our seller financing program shows exactly how to set up the deal, and we buy the note the day you close.
Note buyers price notes by yield. We calculate the monthly payment from your balance, interest rate, and remaining term, then price the payment stream to earn our target yield, capped at 65 percent of the property value. Stronger down payments mean a lower required yield and a higher cap, and a seller buyback guarantee improves the pricing.
The final number depends on the property, its value, and the payment history, which a calculator cannot see. The range shows where a bid typically lands. Submit your note details and you get an exact written offer within 24 hours. See the document checklist for what the full file includes.
Three things move the price most: a bigger buyer down payment, a higher interest rate, and a shorter remaining term. A note with 30% down and a 10.9% rate prices far better than one with 10% down at 8%.
Yes. Notes with missed payments typically price at 50 to 65% of balance depending on the property and how far behind the payer is.
A buyback guarantee means you agree to repurchase the note if the borrower defaults. It removes most of our default risk, so we price the note at a lower target yield, which raises the offer, and with a buyback we will also price notes with under 20 percent buyer down payment. The 65 percent ITV cap still applies.
Yes. Minimum $25,000 remaining balance, minimum $50,000 property value, and minimum $10,000 buyer down payment. We do not purchase notes in California, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, or Maryland.
