How do I use a note as collateral?!
Most Popular Reply

In case anyone is interested. Commercial lender got back to me and they will in fact issue me a loan strictly off my note.
How it works. Note receivable will be assigned to bank as collateral should I fail to make payments.
The note receivable must have a promissory note and deed of trust and no other lien on the property.
Commercial lender will lend for a max of 15 years and up to 80 percent of cost, note UPB, and house appraised value. Whichever is the lowest. They will make an exception if for example my all in cost was 60k. Note was 95k and house value was 100k. They would then lend 100 percent of cost. So 60k in this example. Again they won't amortize a loan for 15 years if the note is 10 years. So it has to be equal or less on length. Since it is the collateral.
So here's what it looks like broken down.
Cost 60k, note 92k @10 percent for 10 years house value 95k
Bank will issue me a loan (check in mail) for 60k 5.8 % interest and 10 year am.
I receive 1256 from the note each month
I pay 662 on the loan each month.
Plus I get my 60k back and rinse and repeat.
That my friends is arbitrage at it's best.
