There are a lot of ways to skin a cat!!!!
The following is a letter that was sent out on a request for proposal on a note sale.
As you can see, there are multiple ways to purchase the note. When talking to a seller, I try to find out what their needs are and I will send them just ones that will fit what they want.
In each one of these options, my yield is 16%. This note was on a 40 acre site with a double wide on it. Seller had one late payment in the previous 93 payments.
You can buy all, part of note and part of the payment, you can buy a predetermined number of payments. And the list goes on!!!!

I agree. I only presented all the options that I consider trying to meet the needs of the seller. I usually will only give them two or three. Thanks for your observation and comments.
Greatly appreciated.

I am quite interested in this and familiar with notes but, frankly, I was having trouble concentrating through all the options. Multiple offers is a good strategy but wouldn't 3 to 5 options be sufficient? It seems to me that 13 options might overwhelm a seller and might lead to a rejection of all of your offers.
