Why should I sell my note?
A: If you do not already have a specific use for the funds, most often notes are written
at less than 8%, other investments like stocks, bonds, real estate, even buying a
different note which is just as safe will yield you more than 8%. You will make more in
the long run by selling your note and investing in a higher rate loan.
When shouldn't I sell my note?
A: If you have high taxes to pay on a gain that you took when you carried back a note, the
discount is tax deductible against the gain, however if you took a note as an installment
sale, if you sell your note you will have to pay the tax on the money you receive. As an
alternative, you may wish to borrow against your note with us by obtaining a collateral
loan. A loan proceeds check is not a taxable event, please consult with your tax advisor,
we are not allowed to give tax advise.
Are there any other options
besides selling my note?
A: As an alternative to selling your note in full, you can sell a portion of you note, you
can sell just the payments on the note, or you can take a loan out against your note. You
can sell just some or all of the monthly payments on the note and keep the final/balloon
payment in full! You can sell half of your note and keep the other half, this will provide
you with half of the monthly payment and a lump sum of cash now as well!
Why should I sell my note to you?
A: The founder of the company has been in the Note purchase business for 25 years. We are
