Im looking to buy a couple NPN, but one is missing the original note. It has a loan mod with some transfer. Help

@Ileana Fonseca, as a PL, my notes are like gold. They are the physical representation of the money I have loaned. If your thinking of purchasing a NPN, whose current lender does not have the original Note, you will most definitely want to engage an attorney to find out what liabilities you could inadvertently assume by buying such a note. IMHO, I would pass. If there are other notes I would look into those. In the military, we had a saying, "pursue the path of least resistance".

 I would pass if it is missing the original note.

 I invite you to review the statute in the link below.  As mentioned above, I'd have a qualified creditor rights attorney review the collateral for you.
