Frequently asked questions about non-performing mortgage notes for sale

What are non-performing mortgage notes?

A non-performing mortgage note is a residential mortgage loan where the borrower has stopped paying — typically for 90 days or more. The note is the borrower's written promise to repay, secured by a lien on the property. Investors buy non-performing notes at significant discounts to face value, then pursue a resolution: loan modification, discounted payoff, deed in lieu, short sale, or foreclosure.

How do I buy non-performing mortgage notes for sale?

The five-step process is: (1) source a tape of available loans from brokers, marketplaces, or servicing trade desks; (2) submit a letter of intent with proposed price and DD contingency; (3) complete due diligence in 7-21 days — BPO, title search, credit report; (4) execute the loan purchase sale agreement; (5) fund, record the assignment, and transfer servicing to your licensed loan servicer.

How much do non-performing mortgage notes cost?

Non-performing first-lien mortgage notes typically trade at 30%-70% of the property's fair market value, depending on equity coverage, state foreclosure timeline, and borrower situation. Non-performing junior liens (HELOCs and second mortgages) trade as low as 5%-25% of the unpaid principal balance. Individual notes can be acquired for as little as $5,000-$30,000 depending on lien position and property value.
