The #1 Error That Real Estate Note Holders Make When Selling Mortgage Notes
The most repeated error that a mortgage note holder gets in my judgment begins when the note holder starts to put the note together. What they do, or I believe I should say what typically does not happen is checking the buyers credit report to determine a credit score ahead of putting your signature on that mortgage note. When I first started seeing this practice, I really was quite shocked, and now that I have been in the note buyers – note selling business for sometime I see this not checking the buyers credit score business more times than I care to count..
What the mortgage note holder does not realize is that checking the buyers credit score would save him/her money both in the present and also later.
How might that be you ask? Well let me start by saying that checking the potential buyers credit score will put your mind at ease, just being aware that the possible buyers credit is good and you are pleased that the buyer will be able to pay the debt back to you. I don’t know where this idea of not checking the probable buyers credit report comes from, but I myself have not at any time applied for credit without having someone pull up my credit report.
The other way that checking the buyers credit report benefits you is if down the road you feel like you would like to sell a Mortgage note, promissory note, contract for deeds, or just about any type of real estate note and turn it into a cash lump sum. By checking your buyers credit score when you first put together the note, you actually made your note worth more years down the line.
The object of this is that if you are going to sell a mortgage note, one of the pieces of information the note buyer is going to expect is the payor’s (i.e. the person making payments to you on your note) credit report information. The thing about it is that to the note buyer, the larger the buyers credit score, the more valuable the offer will be when you go to sell a real estate note anywhere.
The buyer, or people making payments to you on your note, their credit score will be one of the big parts of the equation that the real estate note buyer will consider when determining how much to offer to you when you sell a real estate note. The reason this is such a large component is that the note buyers perspective is the greater the credit score the less risk there is in buying this note. So as you can see checking the potential buyers credit score ahead of you signing a note can make you money in the future.
Ok, You want the answer to the question! When we talk about what is an acceptable credit score, when we are talking about promissory notes, mobile home notes, real estate notes, deeds of trust, or cash flow notes of almost any type? Myself I would not accept a payor’s credit score that is less than 565, but this is something that needs to be worked out by both the note holder and the note buyer.
The higher it goes from there the more the buyer will offer you when you sell a real estate note. Very important: The payor’s credit score is going to make up approx 35 to 40 percent of how the note buyer estimates the value of your note. So what you should do is to consistently remember when you are putting a note together, make sure that you check the promising buyers credit score, because it will be more profitable for you in the future.
