The most common mistake that a mortgage note holder gets in my judgment begins when the note holder starts to put the note together. What they do, or I believe I should say what typically does not happen is checking the buyers credit report to determine a credit score before putting your signature on that mortgage note. I could not believe it when I saw this being practiced, now that I have been at this business for years I am still seeing this business of not checking the promising buyers credit score much to often.
What the real estate note holder does not realize is that checking the buyers credit score would save him/her money both in the present and also down the road.
How might that be you ask? Ok…lets start with the actuality that doing a simple thing like checking the buyers credit score will help you mentally by just making you feel at ease with the whole deal, and you will feel much better about the fact that the buyer is credit worthy and will be able to pay the debt that he/she owes you. I don’t know where this idea of not checking the possible buyers credit report comes from, but I myself have not at any time applied for credit without having someone pull up my credit report.
The other way that checking the buyers credit report benefits you is if later you feel like you would like to sell a Mortgage note, promissory note, contract for deeds, or just about any type of cash flow note and turn it into a cash lump sum. By checking your buyers credit score when you first put together the note, you actually made your note worth more later.
The reason for this is that when you are ready to sell your mortgage note one of the items that the note buyer is going to expect from you is the payors (i.e. the person making payments to you on your note) credit report information. To the note buyer the stronger the payors credit score is the more the note buyer will be able to offer you when you sell a real estate note.
The buyer, or person making payments to you on your note, their credit score will be one of the big parts of the equation that the real estate note buyer will consider when determining how much to offer to you when you sell a real estate note. The reason this is such a large part is that the note buyers perspective is the larger the credit score the less risk there is in buying this note. Now we can see for sure that you can make money in the future by doing a elementary thing like checking your possible buyers credit score in advance of you signing at the bottom of a note.
Ok, You want the answer to the question! When we talk about what is an acceptable credit score, when we are talking about promissory notes, mobile home notes, real estate notes, deeds of trust, or cash flow notes of almost any type? The answer to this question is that this would be between the different note buyers and the note holders to agree on, I would not consent to any credit score less than 565 and that would be on the lowest end of the scale.
When you sell a real estate note, the higher the score is, the more the note buyer will be able to offer you. Very important: The payor’s credit score is going to make up approx 35 to 40 percent of how the note buyer estimates the value of your note. So consistently remember when you are drawing up a note consistently check the buyers credit score, as it will benefit you in many ways.
