Why do individuals sell their Business and Mortgage Notes (either full or partial sale of future payments)?
1. Access to Cash
People need or want access to their cash. Sometimes they have a serious need to pay off credit cards, finance long-term medical care, or to settle a divorce. Other times, they simply have a desire to purchase a dream home, take a vacation, buy a new car or boat, finance a wedding, or start a business, for example. In some cases, people want access to their cash just for peace of mind. They no longer want to worry about liquidity issues, collection hassles, foreclosures or the financial strength of the person who owes the debt.
2. Interest of Yield
People will sell their income streams - discounted from face value - because they know that with cash in hand today, they can start earning interest or yield. Interest or yield is what gives us the ability to invest money this year and turn it into an even larger amount of money next year. They typically have a number of options - either selling all future payments they receive or selling only enough payments to meet their current income needs.
3. Inflation
Inflation eats away at the future value or "buying power" of money. You can buy more with a dollar today than you will be able to five, ten, or twenty years from now. People sell their income streams because they realize that over time, the payments they receive will drop in real value.
Small payments over a long period of time have less buying power. A Lump Sum of cash today can provide you with financial stability and flexibility. Sell all or only a portion of your privately held note. You may even sell future payments today while still receiving current payments.
We can facilitate the sale of existing private mortgage notes, portfolios of residential or commercial mortgage notes, or can arrange point of sale funding, also called table funding or simultaneous closing.
