some different options available to a note holder. Your note's value may
be higher or lower depending upon property type, terms and payor
information. Every note, property and payor is unique and is evaluated to
give you the highest possible price and best possible options available to you
for your situation.

Detailed Explanation of Above Options
Full Sale
When the entire note is sold, it is always sold at a "discount" off
the current principal balance of the note. The reason for this is that the face
interest rate of the note is seldom as high as the market yield required in the
secondary mortgage money market. In the example, the discount is $8,024.01
($84,257.19 minus $76,233.18) assuming the secondary mortgage money market yield
is 12%. The discount could be more or less depending on the current yield
requirements in the secondary mortgage money market.
Partial Sale— Front End Payments
Partial sales are very attractive from the point of view of a note holder
because the note holder does not have to take a big discount. The main reason
for the discount being so large ($8,024.01 in the example) is that the payments
due in the distant future are worth much less in today’s dollars than the
payments that are due soon.
In a full sale, the note holder is selling all the payments, and not getting
much for the ones at the end of the 15 year term—thus the large discount. In a
partial sale where the front-end or near term payments are sold, most of the
payment is interest. This means that the note holder gets a sizable amount of
cash now ($40,653.34 in the example) and when the note holder gets the note back
after 60 payments, the balance of the note is still fairly high ($63,736.86 in
the example). The note holder then gets the remaining 96 payments of $967.14.
A partial sale of the front-end payments is like having your cake and eating
it, too. You get a sizable chunk of cash now, and when you get the note back, it
has a high remaining principal balance and lots of payments left to collect.
In the example, the cash the note holder receives now plus the remaining loan
balance the note holder receives in 5 years is more than $20,000 higher than the
current principal balance of the note. In many cases, note holders prefer this
type of an arrangement rather than selling the entire note for a large discount
off the current principal balance.
Full Sale-Split Funding
In the split funded sale, the note holder is selling all of the payments but
is only selling part of the payments now and part of the payments in the
future. This type of sale is really a hybrid between a full sale and a partial
sale.
In the example, one half of the note (the next 78 payments) is sold now and
the other half of the note (the last 78 payments) is sold after the first 78
payments are paid. $48,010.47 is paid in cash now and an equal amount in 6 ½
years.
This is only one variation of a split funded sale. The note could be split
into three, four or more equal or unequal parts.
Partial Sale-One Half Of Each Monthly Payment
In this type of a sale, the note holder sells on half of each monthly payment
and continues to receive the other half. This is a particularly attractive way
to sell a note if you need some cash now but also want to keep part of the
monthly cash flow. The example shows that one half of each of the 156 remaining
payments can be sold for $33,114.72 and $483.57 keeps coming in every month.
Again, these are just some of the variations and options
available to a Note Holder when considering the sale of all or part of their
Real Estate Secured Note. Coop Group NY can tailor a transaction to
meet the needs of the Note Holder.
