Deeds of Trust
Common in many states, functioning similarly to a mortgage but involving a trustee.
Land Contracts
Also known as contracts for deed, where the deed transfers only after full payment.
Mobile Home Notes
Notes secured by manufactured housing, with or without the underlying land.
Commercial Notes
Notes secured by retail spaces, offices, multi-family, or industrial properties.
Non-Performing Notes
Even if the borrower is behind on payments, we can make an offer and take the risk.

Top Reasons People Sell Their Mortgage Note
Selling a note isn't about being desperate — it's about being smart with an asset you already own. Here is why most of our clients choose to sell:
- You want an immediate lump sum of cash instead of waiting years for small payments.
- You'd like to simplify your estate and make things easier for your heirs.
- The borrower has fallen behind and you're tired of chasing payments and risk.
- You want to pay off high-interest debt or fund a better investment.
Times change — and your note may never be worth more than it is today. Sell all of it, or just a portion (a "partial"), and keep collecting the rest.
What Is My Mortgage Note Worth?
The value of a note depends on several factors. We evaluate each one individually and give you a fair, transparent valuation based on:
Property Value
The real estate securing the note.
Current Equity
Amount owed vs property value.
Payment History
Track record of on-time payments.
Terms
Interest rate and remaining balance.

Appraisal & verification
We may order a drive-by appraisal from a licensed appraiser — typically completed without disturbing the occupant — and verify the note details.

Note Industry Insights
Title: Who Sells Non-Performing Notes? A Plain-English Guide
Why would anyone sell a loan that isn't paying?
It sounds backwards: why sell a loan that has stopped making money? The answer is that a non-performing note is a drag on whoever holds it. It earns nothing, ties up reserve capital, invites regulatory attention, and quietly racks up servicing costs every month it sits unresolved.
The longer it's held, the more it costs — in real dollars and in missed opportunity. So most holders would simply rather have cash than keep babysitting a defaulted asset. The specific motivation, though, depends on who the seller is — and understanding that motivation is your edge when you negotiate.
Banks and credit unions
Banks face regulatory pressure: delinquent loans raise the capital they must hold in reserve and draw examiner scrutiny. Selling cleans up the balance sheet and frees money to lend again.
Vet the seller before you vet the asset
Whoever you buy from, confirm they actually own the loan and can legally transfer it. Request the chain of title and check for an unbroken assignment history. The note business runs on trust and reputation, and the time spent vetting counterparties up front is what protects you from costly mistakes later.
