Non-Perfoming Notes 100% UPB
I have been searching the fci exchange and have come across a couple of non-performing firsts that are selling are over 100% upb .I see that the note is at 8.5% ,the original balance was at over $200k and it is now around $50k The property is worth around $100k Why would anyone buy this note and why would anyone give such equity to the original owner?

FCI is an exchange so folks selling notes can price them any way they want. There always seems to be NPNs priced at 100% of UPB. I think the idea is that if the note is below collateral value the buyer could foreclose and acquire the property under FMV. Not a good strategy IMO.
