What Can A Commercial Mortgage Note Buyer Do For You
?Investing in commercial real estate has its risks and it definitely has its financial rewards as well. Many commercial real estate investors have gotten started in this lucrative investment opportunity with a modest sum of cash as a down payment for their first property, and have turned that investment into a profitable portfolio of numerous commercial properties, each growing in value each year and turning a monthly profit from rental income as well. However, while there is an incredible opportunity for profit here, there is also a risk that should be considered.
Today's economic climate has many investors struggling to sell their properties, many banks unwilling to lend, and many buyers jumping into the waters to take advantage of historic low sales prices. With bank financing out of the picture with many commercial transactions, the buyer and seller are forced to work together to come to a creative agreement with seller financing. Some sellers will see the opportunity to hold a commercial real estate loan for a buyer as an investment in itself, and will continue to service the loan for many years. Others simply want to recoup the cash from their investment, and will seek the services of a mortgage note buyer. A mortgage note buyer will buy a commercial loan in either the first or second position for a lump sum of cash.
Many times, a seller will work with a mortgage note buyer to structure an offer before the closing. In this way, the transaction between the buyer and the seller can be structured in a way that gives the seller the highest possible cash offer when he or she turns around to sell the note off after closing. Often the ability to sell the note immediately after closing gives the seller the peace of mind to move forward with the creative financing structure needed to get a transaction closed in today's economic climate.
