how do you calculate the rate of return on a NOTE

There is a performing note that i came across and wanted to find out what parameters that other investors look for before purchasing.

Property is in Kellyville, OK.

BPO: $65,000

UPB: $18,560

Payment: $400/month

Number of months remaining: 45

Purchase price: $17,083.

Im using a financial calculator to calculate my return. N=45, PV: 17083, PMT=-400, My return (I/YR) is 2.75% ?. Not sure if it is worth buying. Can someone shed some light on this?

Pari, another factor I consider is the size of the community the property is in. With fewer than 1200 inhabitants, if you get the property back that's a pretty small pool to draw a new buyer from. I target notes in towns with a population of at least 10,000. That's just me, but you should probably have some number below which you will pass. I'd pass.
