Profit-Lesson #5:
"Here's How You Make A Profit On This!"

By Teddy Hanson

So far we've been talking about how the Note Business works and what happens when a seller "carries back" a note but later wants cash instead. But now it's finally time to explain exactly how you make a profit doing this!

Onward... Profit-Lesson #5:
"Here's How You Make A Profit On This!"

After I do some figuring, I'll usually give you at least two choices. I'll tell you what the investor can pay for the whole note or what they'll pay for the next so many payments.

For example in this instance I might tell you, the investor will either pay...

  • $75,000 cash for the whole note or $
  • $14,900 cash for the next 24 payments.

If Sally took the $14,900 it would mean that after the investor has collected the next 24 payments from Bud Buyer the note would revert back to Sally Seller and she would start collecting the payments from Bud Buyer again. The note at that time would be down to $78,521.32.

Your Offer To Sally
Once I give you the figures, all you would have to do is give Sally Seller a call back.

Obviously, you are looking to make some money for transacting this deal. Thus, you will make an offer to buy Sally's note for LESS than the amount I quote you.

Please Note! The amount I quote you is the amount that my investors are willing to pay for the mortgage note. How much less you quote your seller is strictly up to you. In other words...

I Let You Decide How Much Profit To Make On Each Deal !

The seller of the note will never be upset with the transaction, because they will never know how much you are making on the deal or how much the investor is paying us for the note. They are ONLY interested in how much CASH they can get for their note!

May I suggest the minimum commission should start at $1,000 for each of us. So you would take $2,000 off the quote I make to you.

For example if I quote you $75,000 for a note, you would then offer the seller $73,000, so we would have $2,000 to split.

Of course you will offer the seller less if you want to make more money. If you think the seller may not take the price you offer, simply raise it a bit higher. If the seller says she wants $74,000, you could come back with $73,500 so we would split $1,500. In most cases the sellers will settle for less than what they told you.

Please note that we are NOT trying to rip someone off here. We simply get a commission for placing the seller's note with an investor. This is exactly the same as a loan company getting points and loan originating fees.

Say the investor was willing to pay $75,000 for the whole mortgage note or $14,900 for the next 24 payments. By talking to Sally Seller you figure that she will sell the note for $70,000, which would give us a profit of $5,000.

So you make her an offer to buy her note for $70,000 cash, or to buy the next 24 payments for $12,000 cash (a profit of $2,900).

If Sally accepts the partial, it means that Sally gets $12,000 cash now. The balance of her mortgage now is $79,555.30 and when it reverts back to her in 2 years (after 24 additional payments) the balance of the note will be $78,521.32.

Do you see what that means? It means that Sally gave up $1,034 ($79,555 less $78,521) to get $12,000 now!

That's a pretty good deal for everyone involved!

At this point you have also explained to Sally that she can get $70,000 cash right now from you instead of having to wait 29 years to get all the money back from Bud Buyer..

That's it for now. Next I'll show you what happens when Sally decides to sell her note for cash and accepts our offer and you get a check for $2,500.

Remember...
