3539 Judy:
Cancellation of contract has started and I expect it to be done by November at which time we can list the property. I got a letter from a neighbor last week though saying that she was concerned about people potentially breaking in. She says that the borrowers moved out Jan 1 and have since been back several times to pick up mail and other things that they had left behind. One day she saw an unfamiliar truck pull up though and she could tell they were up to no good and chased them away. I called a local property preservation company on Friday and they are willing to go out and do an inspection and board up the house for $250. This company is also a real estate brokerage and would be willing to work as our realtor once the existing contract is cancelled. I’ve included the $250 in the bills attached.

325 Cedar:
I talked to the assistant of our realtor since our guy was in the hospital. He’s home now and is doing well after an adjustment was needed for his defibrillator. She mentioned that she thinks 29900 is a bit high and that it is more of a rental neighborhood. We could look at selling the home on terms or Chad had mentioned you may be interested in keeping this house as a rental for your portfolio.

2275 Union:
I had my realtor go by the house with a letter offering to help the borrowers by either modifying their existing loan or releasing them from the debt in exchange for signing a cancellation of contract. She went by 3 times and there was nobody home. From what she could determine the house is vacant. She also recommended a good attorney who deals with land contract cancellations on a regular basis. She has used him before and said he is fast and inexpensive. I referred the contact information back to Peak and we just started the process of cancelling this contract along with 4113 Huston.

4113 Huston:
See above.

510 High Grove:
I finally got the last document needed to get this loan boarded with Peak so that they could receive payment on Friday of last week. Now that it is boarded Peak can receive the down payment and first month payment that was due Aug 1. The borrowers have the money ready and are eager to pay and I’ve made it very clear to Peak how important it is for us to receive the payment during this calendar month as it can greatly contribute to how much and when I can sell this note as performing.

As an additional update, I was informed on Friday last week that Peak is moving out of servicing and that all loans with them will need to be transferred before the end of October. I spoke to SN Servicing today and was very pleased with what they have to offer. They have a website that I can log into and get up to the minute information about each loan and what the next steps are for that particular loan. They also have much more reporting available that Peak didn’t have that will help in decision making and help speed up the entire holding process of any given note. The pricing is very comparable with the biggest difference being a fee they charge if they get a non performing loan to a performing loan. In that case they charge a $1000 fee that they will collect as the payments are made by the borrower. Although this is an extra fee we didn’t have with Peak it doesn’t greatly effect our bottom line especially since we would be selling that note within a few months anyway. I will be signing paperwork to transfer all my loans over to them and the whole transfer process should be done within a month as per RESPA regulations.

Since all of our notes are either performing or in loss mitigation there should be little or no interruption to any of our loans.
