You Have More Options Than You May Realize

Most note holders assume there are only two paths: keep collecting payments or sell the note outright. There is a third and sometimes fourth option most buyers never discuss.

  • Option 1: Full Note Purchase

    We purchase all remaining payments on your note for a single lump sum. You receive your money, we take over the collection of payments, and your obligation ends at closing. This is the cleanest exit.

  • Option 2: Partial Note Sale

    You sell a defined number of future payments — for example, the next 60 months. We pay you a lump sum for those specific payments. Once we collect them, all remaining payments revert entirely back to you. You get liquidity today without fully exiting your position. This structure often results in a smaller discount than selling the full note.

  • Option 3: Hypothecation (Borrow Against Your Note)

    Instead of selling, you use your note as collateral for a loan. We advance you cash — typically 50 to 60 percent of the note balance. Your borrower continues making their regular payments. You retain ownership of the note and its income stream. Because it is a loan rather than a sale, this structure may allow you to access capital without triggering a taxable event. Your home, savings, and other assets are not involved — the note is the only collateral.

Not every structure fits every situation. We look at your note, your goals, and your timeline — then recommend what makes the most sense.

How the Process Works

Step 1: Share your note details

Tell us the basics — property address, note balance, interest rate, payment history, and remaining payments. A phone call or email is all it takes to get started.

Step 2: We evaluate and respond

We review your note and provide a clear offer — typically within one business day. We explain the offer so you understand exactly how we arrived at the number.

Step 3: You decide

No pressure. No obligation. If our offer works for you, we proceed. If you want to explore a partial or hypothecation structure instead, we discuss that too.

Step 4: We close

Most transactions close within approximately 20 business days of receiving complete documentation. We handle the complexity. Funds are wired directly to you at closing.

We Buy Mortgage Notes Throughout Arkansas

We purchase notes secured by real estate in all counties and cities across Arkansas, including:

Little Rock, Fort Smith, Fayetteville, Springdale, Jonesboro, North Little Rock, Conway, Rogers, Bentonville, Pine Bluff, Hot Springs, Benton, Sherwood, Texarkana, Russellville, Bella Vista, West Memphis, Paragould, Cabot, Searcy, and throughout the state.

Rural properties and smaller markets are evaluated on the same terms as major metros. Location is one factor — it does not automatically disqualify a note.

Northwest Arkansas — anchored by Bentonville, Rogers, Fayetteville, and Springdale — has become one of the faster-growing real estate markets in the South, driven by corporate presence and population growth. Central Arkansas and rural markets also have active seller financing. Notes in the Northwest Arkansas corridor often receive competitive offers.

Arkansas uses both judicial and non-judicial foreclosure depending on the document type. Deeds of trust allow for non-judicial foreclosure, while mortgages typically require court involvement. Note holders should understand which instrument they hold and what the recovery process may look like before assuming protection from equity alone.

Understanding the local legal and market environment matters when evaluating your note. We have experience with Arkansas real estate and can speak to these factors clearly when we discuss your situation.

  • Tired of tracking payments, monitoring insurance, and managing the borrower relationship every month

  • Need capital now for a new investment, medical expense, education, or debt payoff

  • Inherited a note from an estate and prefer cash to monthly collections

  • Going through a divorce or partnership dissolution where a note needs to be liquidated

  • Borrower is delinquent or has become difficult to manage

  • Want to eliminate the risk and uncertainty of depending on one borrower’s continued payments

  • Low interest rate on the note makes it a drag compared to current investment alternatives

Whatever your reason, it is valid. The decision to sell is a financial strategy — not a failure.

What Arkansas Note Holders Often Get Wrong

“The property is worth more than my balance, so I am fully protected.”

Equity helps — it does not eliminate risk. Your actual protection depends on lien position, current property taxes, true as-is market value, and what foreclosure would cost in TN. Online valuations are not underwriting tools.

“If payments are current, my note is low risk.”

Payment history is one data point, not the complete picture. Remaining term, rate environment, borrower financial stability, and concentration risk all factor into your actual exposure.

“If they stop paying, I get the property back automatically.”

Foreclosure in AR is a legal process with its own timeline and costs. It is not an automatic transfer. Arkansas uses both judicial and non-judicial foreclosure depending on the document type.

“I can sell my note anytime for close to the unpaid balance.”

Notes trade based on yield, risk, and market conditions — not face value. A below-market interest rate will result in a discount that reflects a buyer’s target return. Understanding this upfront leads to better decisions.

How long does it take to sell a mortgage note in Arkansas?

Most transactions close within approximately 20 business days of receiving complete documentation. The documents typically needed are the original note with proper endorsement and a recorded assignment of mortgage or deed of trust. We handle the complexity — you handle the decision.

How much will I receive for my note?

The offer depends on the note balance, interest rate, payment history, remaining term, property value, and current market conditions. Notes with a strong payment history, a meaningful down payment, and good collateral typically receive stronger offers. We explain every factor in our offer so you understand exactly why the number looks the way it does.

Do I have to sell the entire note?

No. A partial sale allows you to sell a defined number of future payments and keep the rest. Once we collect the payments we purchased, all remaining payments revert to you. This structure may result in a smaller overall discount compared to selling the full note.

Are there any fees or commissions?

None. We cover all closing costs. The offer we make is the amount you receive. No deductions at closing.

What if my note is non-performing or the borrower has missed payments?

We evaluate non-performing notes on a case-by-case basis. We buy both performing and non-performing notes. Contact us and let us review the specifics before assuming your note does not qualify.

What happens to my borrower after I sell the note?

Your borrower is notified of the transfer by certified mail. Their loan terms do not change — same interest rate, same payment amount, same schedule. The only change is where they send their payment.

Can I borrow against my note instead of selling it?

Yes. Through hypothecation, we can lend against your note without requiring you to sell it. You retain ownership, your borrower keeps paying, and you access capital now. This may have different tax implications than an outright sale. We are happy to walk through both options so you can decide what fits your situation.

Do you buy notes from all counties in Arkansas?

Yes. We buy statewide — major metros, suburban markets, and rural areas. Property location is a factor we consider but is not an automatic disqualifier.
