Why should I sell my note?

There are numerous reasons why people sell their mortgage notes to The Polk County Note Buyer.  Many are tired of collecting payments, insurance liabilities, or face the possibility of foreclosure.  Others sell their mortgage note, trust deed or land contract for personal reasons such as to buy a new home, car or boat, pay off debt, to use for investments, pay tuition, pay medical bills or to travel.  Most have just grown tired of collecting the payments.

How can I make sure that I'm getting a fair price for my note?

Unlike the primary mortgage market (mortgage companies and banks) where you know exactly the interest rate and costs involved, the secondary market (that's us) establishes offers based on a different set of rules.

Due to the high risk involved with these transactions, there is always a discount on the face value of the mortgage. The size of the discount will depend on a variety of factors, most of whom are described
here.
