Credit Score
Credit scores are calculated by credit bureaus based on your credit report. They indicate if borrowers will repay loans on time.
The score of an individual can vary from 300 to 800 depending on the scoring model used. Two popular models are VantageScore and FICO Score.
Credit utilization (30% of your score) is determined by the total amount of debt across all accounts. This assessment also takes into consideration how long you’ve had credit and any new credit lines you might be applying for.
New credit is 10% of your score. This factor considers how many accounts you have opened in the last few months, as well as any inquiries made recently on your credit report or to open new accounts.
Interest Rate
When selling notes, the interest rate is a primary factor to consider. This is because it represents the risk of seller-financing.
The present value of a note increases or decreases in inverse proportion to the interest rate. Higher interest rates usually lead to a reduction in the present value and you will need to remove discounts from your note.
When evaluating notes, a minimum interest rate of 6-8 percent should be considered fair. This reflects risk and is less dependent on fluctuating money costs.
When choosing the right interest rate, you should also consider how much cash flow a company generates and whether it is profitable. Selling notes at high prices may not be a good idea if a business does not generate enough revenue to cover its expenses.
Time frame
Before making an offer on a note, buyers will often start the due diligence process when they find a note that interests them. Due diligence reviews typically involve verifying details such as loan numbers, addresses of properties and other information before making an offer.
Note buyers will often buy notes at a lower price than the outstanding debt. Note buyers can profit from this by paying off a portion of the debt, while still having to collect any remaining amounts.
Mortgage notes can be classified into two types: performing and non-performing. Non-performing mortgage notes are still outstanding, whereas performing mortgage notes were paid in full and on time.
