Note selling 101...
I am interested in buying a property and I can get a note from my brother for the purchase, that he could then sell to get his capital back. I was wondering:
1) What are the terms / characteristics that make a note desirable? I was thinking 30 year amortization at 5%. Would it be better to make it a 10 year balloon? If the note is for 100% purchase plus rehab and then we do an after repair appraisal, is that something worth doing/possible?
2) Other than BP, where are a few good places to sell a note? How long does it usually take?
3) For a 475,000 performing note at 5% with a 30 year amortization, what would one expect to get? Please, do not send me your personal offers right now. I am trying to understand the market and I have been hitting a lot of flakes on BP lately. Unfortunately, this isn't imaginary for me and that causes problems.
Thanks! Seth
