- You are struggling to keep up with the administrative burden and costs associated with managing a mortgage note.
- You want to eliminate the risk of non-payment or default on the part of the borrower, and shift that risk onto the purchaser of the note.
- You no longer want to be involved in the loan process or deal with the borrower directly, and prefer to wash your hands of the transaction by selling the note to a third party.
- You won’t have to deal with collecting the monthly payments and/or service the note any more. Additionally, you will not have to worry about a lapse in the property insurance policy, unpaid real estate taxes, destruction of the asset, IRS reporting or payor issues (i.e. Death, divorce)
- You want to Diversify your portfolio: If you have a significant amount of money tied up in a single mortgage note, selling it can allow you to diversify your portfolio and spread out your investments.
