Is Buying later half of a partial note a scam for the buyer?
I attended a meeting at my local REIA and they were talking about note investing. One strategy they mentioned was to sell a partial. But the way they described it made it seem like due to the time value of money if someone buys the last 10 years of a partial note with today's money, when they receive the payments the future value of the money will be disappointing.

@Anthony Howell
Typically a partial buyer buys the front end payments.
Buying back end with no cash flow today would need to be a huge discount And risk. If I were to buy a partial buy the front end not the back end.
