Real Estate Notes

Real estate notes should be something that’s in your portfolio. Simply put, a real estate note is a promise to pay back a loan.

Definition: Real estate notes are the loan documents that are drawn up when you finance the sale of your house or other type of property.

It could be in the form of a mortgage note, land contract, trust deed or a contract for a deed. What this comes down to is that someone is making payments on that loan to another party. So often an individual or business secures a loan from a bank to pay for a piece of real estate. The bank or mortgage lender can, at any time, sell this note to another lender. This is part of a real estate agent's job description.

There are many reasons why real estate notes are bought and sold. The owner of the note may prefer one lump sum, .rather than a  set amount of money each month. The note holder may need the money for a new investment venture, a family situation or buying a new car.

These notes consist of several factors - They include, down payments,  interest rates, payment amount,  the term or length of the note,  the buyers credit rating and payment history, etc.  Always remember that the type of the property and the condition of the property will be a large factor into determining the value of the note.
