Understanding Amoritization Schedules When Buying Performing Notes

4/24/2024
When you look at buying performing notes, it's not only important to look at the potential cash flow of the deal but also to understand the amortization calendar and how long you can hold on to that note when using investors' funds. The later the term of the mortgage often means the sooner you need to be out of the deal. Scott breaks down how investors can get in trouble if they don't run the numbers to identify when they need to get out of a performing note when the principal balance gets closer to the funding amount of the deal. He'll show you why it's much better to be buying that note on the front half of the mortgage term instead of the last half and why paying 80% for performing paper is not always a good idea.

What Are the Different Types of Fees Associated with Note Investing

3/18/2024
Ready to unlock the potential of mortgage note investing, but feeling overwhelmed by hidden fees? This episode/video equips you with the knowledge to navigate the fee landscape and make informed investment decisions. We'll delve deep into the 6 essential fees you'll encounter in the world of mortgage note investing, helping you avoid surprises and maximize your returns. Understanding Fees: The Key to Success The intricate world of mortgage note investing offers a compelling alternative to traditional investments. However, navigating the path to success requires a clear understanding of the associated fees. These fees can significantly impact your overall returns, so being prepared is crucial. 1. Due Diligence Fees: Your Investment Insurance Before diving headfirst into a note purchase, thorough due diligence is essential. Due diligence fees cover the costs of investigating the quality and performance of the mortgage note. This includes verifying the borrower's financial health, analyzing the property's value, and assessing the overall risk profile of the investment. Think of due diligence fees as an insurance policy, protecting you from potential pitfalls down the road. 2. Closing Costs: Securing Your Ownership Once you've decided to move forward with a note purchase, closing costs come into play. These fees ensure a seamless transfer of ownership and protect both buyers and sellers. Closing costs may include: Title search fees: Confirming the property's legal ownership and status.Recording fees: Officially registering the transfer of ownership with the government.Attorney fees: Ensuring legal compliance and safeguarding your interests. 3. Servicing Fees: Keeping the Investment Engine Running Servicing fees are ongoing expenses associated with managing your mortgage note investment. Loan servicers handle the day-to-day operations, ensuring smooth functionality. Their services typically include: Collecting payments from the borrower and remitting them to you.Handling delinquencies if the borrower misses payments.Providing regular reports on the status of the note and the borrower's activity. 4. Brokerage Fees: Partnering with Expertise Brokerage fees come into play if you decide to utilize the services of a broker to find and purchase mortgage notes. Mortgage note brokers are experts in the market, leveraging their knowledge and connections to source investment opportunities. Their expertise can save you time and effort, but their services come with a fee. 5. Legal Fees: Safeguarding Your Investment Legal expertise is crucial in the world of note investing. Legal fees can cover a range of services, including: Reviewing and drafting loan documents to ensure they are legally sound.Enforcing the terms of the note if the borrower defaults.Handling any legal issues that may arise during the investment process.Having a lawyer on your side provides peace of mind and protects your investment. 6. Marketing Fees: Reaching Your Investment Goals While not always considered a traditional fee, marketing can play a significant role in note investing.

Money Mind Games

3/11/2024
I'm a huge fan of watching sports documentaries or miniseries that follow and feature different big names in their specialized sports. Whether it's golf, baseball, football, or even racing, I love the behind-the-scenes sessions where you get to see how these amazing athletes deal with stress and the mind games that they play with themselves. One thing that I notice consistently is that the most successful have one thing in common: a strong mind game. We all play mind games but it's those individuals who overcome our self-doubt or stinking thinking and internal mind games who achieve the type of long-term success that everyone dreams of. It's especially true where the playing field is level. If you want to grow as an investor or entrepreneur, you've got to grow mentally into the mindset first or you'll never overcome the hurdles and self-doubt that stops the majority from finding success. In this episode, Scott Carson breaks down some of these Money Mind Games that we play with ourselves and why it's important to find a coach to help you overcome the doubts and fears that everyone faces. Entrepreneurship is full of ups and downs, but it's how you overcome the troubling times and the stressful situations in that determine if you become a winner or stay a loser wishing for a different outcome.
