I want to sell a rental property to another investor using owner financing. I want to offer 0% down for a NOO 30 yr note. Assuming the buyer has good credit (FICO over 620) my question is:
Can I sell the first 15 yrs of the note and how much would the payoff be discounted?
note balance: 85,000
interest: 5.00%
term: 30 yrs (no balloon)
monthly P/I: $456.30
Yes you can do that, its commonly called a partial. Why no downpayment, thats a mistake if you want to sell the note. Also there are many variables of the note that a note investor would use to value the note. So the best way to determine the discount is to contact a note investor. If you need some guidance read “Owner Will Carry” ebook in the free audio’s and video’s in the left column. Herbster

Good to meet you…
I agree with herbster… Why no down? And the interest is too low… Are you selling at value or less? Is there a prepay… Here is a note I use when buying seller financing… Understand that this is a buyer friendly note…

Good advice from my fellow investors above! Definitely do not want to sell No Money Down. Less likely to sell the note to anyone who knows what they are doing. Also, you need to get a Texas Instrument BA II Plus and learn how to use it! If you can find a book online called ‘Invest in Debt’ by Jimmy Napier, it will be most valueable and the best $10 investment you could make!
Selling a partial is always better than the full 30 years. When you learn to use the calculator, you will find that the difference in present value (PV) is only a few thousand dollars between selling 15 years vs. 30 years. Keeping the back end gives you many options including:
I just did that recently. Sold a mobile home and land package for $44k with $3k down. The property only cost me $25k. Sold 20 years of a 30 year note for $28k. That left me with $6k in profit ( down payment and proceeds of sale from note after cost) and a secured interest in the last 10 years of the note. Many years later, the owners defaulted and the note buyer foreclosed. They call me 1st to ask if I wanted to buy it back. There was a $20k balance owed to the note buyer (round figures). I inspected the property and told them yes! Put an ad in as a ‘handy man special’ and sold it for $29k in less than 2 weeks. Used the proceeds to pay off the note buyer and pocketed $9k!
Always keep back ends of notes and learn how to use a cash flow calculator…it will earn you lots of money!
Hope this helps.

Guys,
Thanks for all the great advice! I’ve read the owner will carry ebook from this site and it is probably the best real estate freebie I’ve gotten so far. I’ve also ordered the Invest in Debt book from Jimmy Napier. Waiting for that to arrive.
I’m starting to wonder if I could go another route with this. Perhaps instead of selling, I could approach a note buyer on a forum like papersource and agree to do a refinance out of my conventional loan into note held by a private investor. I might get better terms that would improve my cash flow with this property.
Is this reasonable or fantasy?
Really do not understand your question ‘How much would the payoff be discounted.’ However, Here is what you have:
360 N 5% i/y $456.30 PMT $85,000 PV
if you sell the first 15 years of payments at a discount to yield 12% to an investor, you have:
180 N 12% i/y $456.30 $ 38,019.54
10% $42,461.96 (at 10%).
In 15 years, you still have 15 years of payments. This is what remains (in 15 years) that you would still own:
180 5% $456.30 $57,701.32
In any event if the home sold during the time of the 1st 15 years, there would be a discounted payoff that you would receive as you would still have a secured interest in the back half of the mortgage where you sold the front half. The longer it takes to resell, the more your payoff would be as that back grouping of payments would in crease in value the more it comes closer to a present value.
The other consideration is that if the new owner of the home defaults and the mortgage is foreclosed by the investor who purchased the first 15 years, you would have 1st right of refusal to pay them off and own the property outright again to resell.
That happened to me on a mobile home and land package where I sold the front 20 years of a 30 year mortgage. About 8 years later, they defaulted, the mortgage company foreclosed, called me and offered it to me at a $20k payoff. I went to inspect the property, and accepted the offer, advertised it for $29k as a handyman specila, sold it in less than 2 weeks, closed and pocketed $9k. When you sell a mortgage, NEVER sell the whole thing. The difference in the proceed of selling the whole mortgage vs. 15 or 20 years of a 30 year mortgage is only a few thoughsand dollars and not worth the possibilities of additional profits later on in the even of a sale or default.
All of this is covered in Jimmy’s book, Invest in Debt. Also, if you really want a special course, see if yo can find Jimmy’s cassettes on negotiating. Those cassettes made fortunes for me over the past 20 years.
Lastly, I would agree with Michael Q and my other colleages…don’t sell with no money down! EVERY deal I have ever sold with less than $3k down was a problem deal…and those were cheap houses…the more your down payment the more likely it will be a success.
Hope this helps.
