"Face Value" For Your Real Estate Note: (An Example)



As an example, lets consider a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage of $50,000.00 at 10% interest. The payment would be $438.79 per month. In all of our examples the investor is buying the note from the seller at a 13% yield (so you might well do better). All of these exact figures can be determined by anyone on a financial calculator.
 

The price which would be offered by the investor for the full purchase of 360 payments (30 years) would be only $39,666.44 to the seller. However the first 120 payments (10 years) could be bought for $29,387.71, and when the note reverts back to the seller (after 10 years), the remaining principal balance is $45,468.15 still owed.
 

For the first 60 payments (5 years) the price would be $19,248.87 with a $48,286.83 principal balance returned to the seller after the 5 years are up. Therefore it would be possible for a person to sell 5 years worth of payments six times during a 30-year mortgage and receive six lump sums of $19,248.87 for an overall total of $115,493.22 from the original $50,000.00 mortgage note.
 

Contrast that to the original offer of $39,666.44 for the entire 30 years and it shows how dramatically time transforms a 13% yield purchase price through it's mathematical compounding effect.
 

There are no companies that actually pay "face value" for a Seller-Carryback Mortgage!
