Definance Your Private Debt
I wish someone would have taught me how to pay off lenders with created paper a long time ago. I have been using private lenders to buy houses for almost 20 years. When we keep one, we wrap the private lenders debt with a owner occupant's loan. Here is an example:
Purchase price 60k.
Borrow 70k at 6 percent from a private lender at close
Fix up house.
Seller finance with 100k wrap.
Now I own a 100k in paper with a 70k note that I am borrower.
How can I pay off this 70k for 35k?
Answer:
1. Buy a house for 35k cash that's worth more.
2. Seller finance the house for 70k at 9 percent
3. Offer that 70k note to your private lender in trade for the 70k loan on previous house. Most lenders like the higher rate.
Conclusion:
You paid 35k for your 100k note!
