The Ultimate Way To Find Notes In Today's Market&& "Marketing
methods that worked in times past do not necessarily work in today's
market. My experience has shown me that there are many marketing
techniques that can only be described as myths, because I have never
found them to work. Note brokers and investors need high-quality,
focused marketing plans, including the tools and training to execute
these plans."
Using The Power Of The Internet To Find Notes "
Many people sell their notes within about six weeks after turning down
a quote. If that quote was from you and they sold it to someone else,
why? Was it your price? Perhaps, but I think it is more likely that
when they finally got around to making the decision to sell the note,
they sold it to the person whose name was in front of them. One of the
best ways to put your name in front of those potential sellers, and to
keep it there, is through using the power of the Internet and e-
specifically, combining an Internet home page with a highly-targeted
e-mail marketing system..."&
How Hank Harenberg, All-Time Top Note Broker, Finds Notes&& "Hank
Harenberg knows more about finding notes and marketing a note brokerage
business than anyone else we know. When he sold notes exclusively to
Metropolitan Mortgage, Hank Harenberg was its biggest producer
nationally. (Top producers won all-expense-paid trips to Hawaii. Hank
won 18 trips!).
The Power Of Simultaneous Closings & The great advantage to the note broker or investor in a simultaneous closing is that there is no one else bidding on the paper. Simultaneous closings also make it easier to find paper. Instead of trying to find and buy the existing notes, you buy them before they hit the market.
Buying Notes From Lenders In Distress (John Schaub)&& "In the
30-plus years I have been buying real estate and notes, the past few

own notes secured by mortgages and trust deeds which are

Marketing For Business Notes & "
There are several strong avenues to market for business notes. Some
will be costly, some will cost nothing but your time (which is a
valuable commodity that is not to be wasted or taken for granted). The
key to be successful is to strike a balance between the two, based on
your budget (or lack of one) and the time you have available for
one-on-one marketing, networking, follow-up, etc. It’s not necessary to
take out expensive ads in numerous publications to establish an
effective marketing campaign."

Negotiation In One Lesson& "
Here are some very valuable tools. How to use them, nobody can teach

be a good negotiator, you'll find this brief article to be one of the
most important you've read. If you have the raw talent, it's red
7 Secrets Of Successful Negotiators, by John Schaub "Negotiating,
like many things in life, is a skill you can continue to improve. Like
management, negotiating is more complex than it first appears. It is
not simply a matter of haggling over the price, as you would when
buying a melon at a roadside stand. Likewise, the best negotiator is
not the flashy, smooth talker. The best negotiator is the one who is
best prepared. Negotiating is a learnable craft, and one that you
should set a goal to learn. It pays better than any other skill you can
acquire..."
What To Do When Your Quote Isn't Accepted& "This
income is in addition to what a note broker would make brokering other
notes. This program is best for those situations when the note holder
does not want to sell the note, or when he just will not accept the
broker’s quote. That note holder may, however, be very interested in a
sizeable check every year and still own the note..."
Give Note Sellers What They Want & Still Profit (Reverse Partial)& "How
many times have you lost the opportunity to purchase a note because the
note seller needed or wanted more money than the quality of the note
justified?...This might be just one of the cases where a Reverse
Partial can be structured that will give the note seller a substantial
amount of cash at closing and the balance over the next year or so..."

Lonnie Scruggs. "If you're running short of money, maybe it's because
you're not asking enough questions: Especially when it comes to asking
for discounts when you buy something. It's amazing what results you can
get sometimes by simply asking a question. Let me explain what I mean

That’s the last thing I want to do. How can I talk numbers until I have
seen the "car" I am buying (the note, etc.). I might not want it at any
price once I have seen it!! Yet, most people let themselves get
trapped. They put their foot in their mouth and lose deals by talking

What To Do When The Seller Backs Out "What
happens when a note seller backs out of your deal? Anyone who has been
a note buyer for long has experienced the following scenario: You get a
frantic call asking for a bid on a note. You give the bid and the note
seller signs up with you. The note seller calls you frequently wanting
to know when they will get their money. Then they stop calling. Then
they won't return your phone calls. Finally, you find out from some
third party that the note is being sold to someone else. Or, even
worse, the deal mysteriously evaporates and you never know what
happened..."
Don't Contact The Payor Or The Deal Is Off!"Most note bu those dreaded words from the note seller, "Don't contact the payor or the deal is off!"
The Nature Of The Note Seller & "When
I was young and just starting in the note buying business, I went to a
lawyer to get some advice. The first thing he told me was this: "Always
remember, Lorelei, every note seller is a liar and a crook."
&& I was shocked to hear him say such a thing. I couldn't
believe it. I read the same advice in George Coats' excellent book
Smart Trust Deed Investment in California: & "Experienced TD
[Trust Deed] investors often claim that the best approach to the
investigation of any TD is to assume the other fellow is a crook, and
then work backward from there. Depressing as it may sound, there is
considerable justification for this attitude."& After thirty years
in the note buying business, I understand exactly what my lawyer and
George Coats were saying..."

“What yield are you getting?”
“Why is the total of all the payments you are receiving so much less than what you are offering me?”
Here’s a way to deal with those pesky questions..
Calculating Present Value Without A Calculator "
It is sometimes handy to have a way to "estimate" what you will pay for
certain notes (income streams actually) without taking out your
calculator..."
Beginners SHOULD "Get In Over Their Heads"& "There is infinitely more opportunity in doing the deals that do not fit into the "vanilla" framework..."
One Of The First Questions To Ask A Note Seller&&& One
of the first questions a note buyer must ask a note seller is, "How is
the interest to be calculated, simple or compounded annually?" The
usual answer is "I don't know. What does it mean, compounded
annually?"...the alert note buyer will never assume that the
programming of a financial calculator will give you the same answer as
the face of the note...
Negotiating "Impossible"Deals& "It
is often true that the best deals can come from those situations that
look impossible or that no one else wants. & The real key to
success in these cases is having the knowledge and creativity to
restructure the transaction to your standards while getting the note
seller an acceptable solution to his problem. Often, you are the only
one that can solve his problem because everyone else has declined to
buy. When the seller faces this, he is often very flexible on either
price or terms or both.& In this article I will review a couple of
transactions we have done that may demonstrate some creative solutions
that can make these kinds of deals work.."

Persuasive Telephone Negotiation & "My best advice for negotiating on the telephone is:& Be quiet and listen. Really listen.& In
the initial dialogue, what should our objective be? I suggest that it
should be to find out why the person has called. If the call has to do
with selling a note, you will want to find out what they have for sale,
what they want for it and get to know them and their problems. You will
want to do these things BEFORE you give them any information... Here
are some examples of what I mean..."
How Do You Convince Note Owners To Take A Discount And Sell Now?& "
I will confess that in my approximately 25 years in this business I was
never very good at convincing unmotivated note sellers. If the only
motivated note sellers you are dealing with are those who receive your
marketing piece simultaneously with an IRS lien, pink slip, wage
garnishment, etc., your note business is in big trouble. To be
successful in any selling endeavor you must create urgency. Once you
learn how to create urgency your profitability will take a dramatic
turn for the better..."
7 Rules For Quoting The Deal "How
do I hold on to the mortgage seller after I give them the quote? They
never seem to call back after our initial conversation. I give hundreds
of quotes, yet only get a few deals, and then most of these back out
before funding. Is this normal for the industry?”
big misconception is that whoever offers the best price, and can close
the fastest, will get the deal. This couldn’t be further from the truth.

How A Niche Note Buyer Prospers & "
The note business has become so competitive and so broadly-based that
one has to become specialized in order to survive, and one has to

you are dealing with these national buyers and your note doesn’t fit
into their criteria, you’re out of luck, you can’t sell it. In the
meantime you have all these new brokers in the marketplace that have
come out of the schools that have proliferated in the last few years.
So the only way to survive is to develop different geographical areas
and niche markets... If you are a buyer of "plain vanilla" deals, you
cannot make money in the U.S. That’s why we are buying offshore. We’re

Deals On Wheels:& Investing & Brokering Mobile Home Notes, by Lonnie Scruggs& "This couple

They were moving out of the area and needed to sell their home. After
the park manager assured me that the home could stay on the lot, I
negotiated a purchase price of $3,350 for the home. I spent $132 for
advertising, so I now had a total of $3,482 invested. The home was sold
17 days later for $7,900. The buyer paid $790 down and signed a note
for $7,110 payable $228.39 for 38 months, 12.75% interest. So I now

How To Evaluate A Land Note & "The
joker in the paper deck of cards is the land note.& A house is a
house. The houses in any one area are more or less alike, and they have
sold in a narrow range. A commercial property is a commercial property,
with values based on income: If the income from the property won’t make
the payment on the loan, don’t buy the loan! But there are no such
guidelines on a land loan.& An appraiser can make mistakes, but
its very rare for an appraiser to estimate the value of a property as
DOUBLE or TRIPLE or even FIVE TIMES the real value. But it can happen
on a land loan!..."
How To Broker Church Financing &&& "Although
most brokers don't know how to package church-related deals, these are
easy transactions to broker. "They're very simple transactions, once

The Case FOR Creating Notes By Simultaneous Closings& "Simultaneous
closings are those in which a seller of a property agrees to seller
financing, and the note created is simultaneously sold at closing. The
debate over simultaneous closings is raging – are they legal, are they
ethical, are they for real? (yes, yes, yes!).& We fund
simultaneous closings. In fact, we love them, as they allow us (and our
brokers) to provide a necessary service to the real estate marketplace.

2) working on a note you know you can buy, and 3) time
not wasted chasing notes others have "beaten to death..."
The Case AGAINST Creating Notes By Simultaneous Closings& "There
are two major reasons why some note buyers avoid this type of
transaction. First, it falls into a gray area of the law. It could be
considered a loan disguised as a sale. That could have serious legal
consequences. The second reason is that simultaneous closings are used
almost exclusively with "credit-challenged" payors or with properties
that could best be described as "dumps" or homes sold at inflated
prices, inviting costly defaults. The note buying industry is divided

What Makes A "Safe" Mortgage Investment? 24 Experts Tell Us We
asked two dozen of the veteran investors in the note business to tell
us what makes a “safe” mortgage. Whether you are primarily an investor
or a broker, you’ll learn a great deal from these answers. Even those
who broker everything and never invest themselves should know what
their investors need to have in a note.

Closing The Deal:& Food For Thought "Prepare
your seller that your offer is "subject to appraisal and title." Do not
carve your offer in stone because you may have to backtrack later if
the appraisal comes in low or a tri-merged credit report appears worse
than originally observed. Perhaps additional liens will appear or there
is some offset with the payor... Leave room both in your agreement and
conversations and representations. If the deal is still do-able, you
may have to come back and offer a partial, split, or some payout by the
seller of payor’s past due real estate taxes, insurance, etc..."
Save Money & Close More Deals!"
How much money have you spent on deals that never closed? If you’re
like me, you don’t want to know. When you’re first starting out you
make a lot of mistakes. I remember ordering title searches, appraisals
and credit checks on deals without even having a signed purchase
When we buy a note, we now do
it a little differently. After reviewing the intake sheet and
determining that we want to buy the note, our next step is to negotiate
a deal and get the seller's signature on a purchase contract. Then we
get the standard stuff...Sounds pretty normal so far? Just wait..."

The Tootsie Pop Mortgage && "
During the course of your involvement with seller-financed mortgages
and trust deeds, you will eventually run into what is known as a wrap
mortgage. What is this thing? Is it something you give as a gift, a hip
new type of note (no pun intended) or maybe a mortgage that has come to
the end of its term like when you hear, "That’s a wrap" at the
completion of a project? Common sense tells you it’s not one of the
above, but what is it?..."
Locating LOST Notes& " If
you are involved in a note transaction, the original note is your first
concern.& If you are selling or buying a note with a balance due,
or releasing the note after it’s paid off, you must have the original
note. A copy or facsimile will not do. If you are involved with a
seller-financed real estate note or a business note or a divorce lien
note, here are some points about original notes..."
What's A "Holdback?" & "For
newer brokers who aren’t aware of what a "holdback" is, and for those
of you who know and don’t like it, here is some food for thought. A
holdback is one or more payments deducted or "held back" from the
broker’s or seller’s proceeds at closing. When Metropolitan funds a
note purchase, the buyer has not yet been instructed to send payments
to us, so their next payment due will likely be sent to the seller. We
then utilize the holdback.."
Mortgagee vs. Mortgagor:& Do You Know The Difference?&&" Buyers,
sellers, real estate brokers, even bankers get confused, sometimes, by
the difference between "mortgagor" and "mortgagee."& The confusion
arises because they’re mixed up about who actually does the mortgaging.
Most home buyers say they’ll go to a lender "to get a mortgage" and
real estate brokers do the same: "We’ll find a bank to give you a
mortgage."& That’s all wrong, though..."
Title Insurance:& Who Needs It?& "Watch
out for the uninsured deed. You may be looking at a legitimate
transaction that is technically legal. But the realities of the
situation are that the transfer is not yet complete for practical
purposes. In the worst case (a deceased grantor or a grantor who has
"changed his mind," among other possibilities) it may be necessary for
the new owner to take court action to quiet title..."

The Most Important Number In The Transaction: Verifying the balance owing on a note has built-in hazards by
Lorelei Stevens. "Experienced note buyers are well aware that the
balance owing on a note is the most important number in the
transaction. Everything else is based on that number. It’s what you’re
buying, so it had better be right. If a servicing agent is involved in
a note you want to buy, they will provide you with a
definite figure for the balance owing. The question is, should you rely on it? And if you don’t, what do you do then?"

12 Experts Give Their Best Advice To Note Brokers We recently asked twelve of the major investors in the note business to complete this statement:

Here is what they said.
Have Taxi, Will Buy Notes "The
call came in early on a Monday morning. & Seattle Yellow Cab’s
central dispatcher snapped, "I have this all-day job here, Dennis. They
have papers to be picked up from the court house, go get signatures,
that kind of thing. Want it?"& "Sure," I replied. "Work is
work."& "Okay, see the lady at Wall Street Brokers. Corner of
Fifth and Wall Street."& It was a nice address uptown.
I walked into the office, I instantly recognized the look on their
faces.& I’ll admit I’m a burly guy, and some people do think I
look like a cross between Santa Claus and a biker-bar regular. And it’s
true that people stare at my shoulder-length hair and Indiana Jones
hat. But I win them over.& "Hi!" I said brightly. "I’m Dennis
Roberts, the singing taxi driver. I’m here to pick up those papers at
the court house for you."& The lady introduced herself as Lorelei
Stevens, President of Wall Street Brokers. She did a pretty good job of
not staring while she explained her business—buying seller-financed
notes. I would be courier for some very important deals today.&

How Many Note Brokers Are There? & Four Key Areas That Will Define The Future Of The Note Business& && How
many note brokers do you think there are in America, full-time,
part-time, even virtually no-time (one deal in a year)? 5,000? 10,000?
100,000? One company that pitches note broker classes via massive
direct mail and TV infomercials said as of a few years ago they had
trained 11,000 people (so the number is a lot higher now). Another
claims to have trained 5,000. Another says they’ve taught 7,000. Put it
all together and at least 25,000 people have taken note broker classes
in the past few years. What do you think the success rate is (or ought
to be to justify the high prices)? Do half of them make it? More? Less?

7 Questions To Ask Before You
Incorporate & To
some people, the formation of their own corporation is a sign that they
really are in business. But many businesses operate just fine and never
take that step. What should you do? There are
many factors in the decision. Take this survey to see how you stack up.
Wholesale Or Retail? Making
the decision whether to go wholesale or retail on a file is always a
tricky one. The investor who gives you a pre-approval “subject to
underwriting” can find any reason to cut the file, change the pricing,
object to the appraisal, ask for more documents or information that you
cannot obtain, etc. It is totally in the investor’s discretion.

Maximizing Your Opportunities To Build Wealth With Notes& "A
major consideration when deciding to which investor to sell the front
end of the mortgage is how the investor would treat your remainder
interest in the event of an early payoff of the mortgage. The
difference in how your remainder interests are treated by investors
could literally mean a difference in thousands of dollars to you. The issue here is investor prepayment policy.
You must read and understand institutional investor partial purchase
agreements. I've had institutional investors tell me they have no
prepayment penalty, when in fact they expected to receive the number of
payments they had purchased at the face rate of the note, not their
yield. If you are unsure as to what that means, you should clearly
understand this issue and its importance to you by the time you finish

An Agreement To Help Protect Note Investors From Becoming Lenders
guard against a note seller coming back after the transaction claiming
he “didn’t sell the note, he borrowed money,” Dick Ballard, CCIM, has
developed this agreement which he is generously willing to share.
Dick says, “Our company, Dick Ballard, Inc., uses this Agreement when purchasing notes right out of escrow,
more commonly referred to as a Simultaneous Close. The purpose of the
agreement is to inform the buyer that the seller is selling us the note
at a discount, and that the interest rate which we will receive will
not violate the usury laws of the state in which we’re doing business.
Useful Clauses For Commercial Trust Deeds & If
