Buying a note with no existing servicer
Hi all -
I"ve come across several seller-financed notes where the seller/note holder is "self-servicing" the note vs boarding it with a servicing platform. My initial thought is this would be a deal killer since you want to know it's been properly serviced, but does anyone have experience working around this? Aside from making sure title is clear and insurance/taxes are being paid, are there any other important items to look out for? Is it just a matter of finding a new servicer (e.g. FCI) who would be willing to take it on?
Thanks!
