When it comes to home-based enterprises, one of the most popular and affordable historically is that of Private Mortgage Note Broker. As a business model, it could not be more simple. Thousands upon thousands of private mortgages are created every year when a home or building is sold but the buyer could not qualify for a bank loan. To accommodate the sale, the seller of the property agrees to hold the mortgage after typically receiving a reasonable down payment. The business of the Private Mortgage Note Broker is simple:
- Find a holder of a private mortgage who now needs cash and wants to sell
- As the broker, introduce the mortgage holder to an institutional note buyer
- The institutional buyer will offer a discounted purchase price based on loan balance and interest rate
- If the seller agrees, the broker earns a fee
Simple…right?
But there is a problems. Private mortgage notes are often excellent investments. They are collateralized by real estate. They typically offer very attractive monthly payments and with income at interest rates much higher than an investor can earn in a time deposit (CDs) at a bank. So most holders of private notes are not interest in selling and especially if the institutional buyer discounts the sale price. And while commissions earned on the occasional note sale are attractive, there is simply not enough note sales every year to turn this in to a truly profitable business. It’s a good part-time enterprise. But still, way too many home-based entrepreneurs abandon this business after little success. And for many, their note broker training (and there has been a significant amount) has been lost. But, with current economic conditions being what they are, prices on food and living expenses sky rocketing, and with recent bank failures front page news and with their business loans drying up, this may be a truly golden opportunity, for those with training, to revisit the mortgage note industry and “attack” this unique business the right way.
How You Should Attack the “Current” Note Business
Most of who have been engaged in the private note business and many of which failed, looked at this as a “stand alone” business. They thought they would find plenty of notes to buy or broker. Commissions would roll in. But this is
where they made their big mistake. THIS IS NOT A STAND ALONE BUSINESS! It never has been. It is too difficult. This is why Mortgage Note brokering has usually been a component of the Cash Flow Broker Industry. To succeed, the brokering of mortgage notes has to be a part of a larger home-based financial enterprise. An enterprise that focuses on all types and kinds of finance products that include consumer finance solutions as well as commercial solutions. Note brokers need to retrench their efforts and their focus. And with today’s inflationary economy littered with major bank failures, there is no better time to launch a FINANCE SOLUTIONS ADVISORY SERVICE.
