I’ve been investing in promissory notes since 1991 since I read Jimmy Napier’s book Invest in Debt and attended his seminars in Florida…since that time, I’ve completed hundreds of transaction and have helped many students do the same.
One recent transaction went into default on a mobile home note which I created from buying the mobile home for cash at a discount and re-selling for full retail with private financing. I just repossessed a mobile home which I financed for a family who stopped paying…the history in short is, that I’ve already collected more than I paid for the mobile home, and so I have no more money left in the transaction.
After advertising to re-sell with private seller terms, I secured a new contract for the home and waived the down payment in exchange for the new buyers to clean up the place and make a few repairs. Bottom line is that I secured this new contract for 48 payments of $300.00 beginning April 1st; financing $11,900.00 purchase price.
Works every time!! There will always be folks in need of an inexpensive home for their family to live in, who do not have the credentials to secure financing for that home…with private terms on inexpensive homes, the market is wide open and has been that way for me since 1991.
