Florida Mortgage Note Buyers

Why Mortgage Note Holders Sell Their Florida Mortgage Notes

Amerinote Xchange has been in the business of buying privately held mortgage notes since 2006, in all fifty states, Florida included. If you hold a note secured by Florida real estate and you are collecting monthly payments on it, you are exactly who this page is for. It does not matter how the note came to be. It might be from a home you sold and financed yourself, an estate, or a loan you made privately. What matters is that the note has a market value, and our job is to tell you exactly what that value is.

The reasons for selling vary as much as the mortgage note holders themselves. One wants to stop wondering whether next month’s payment will show up. Another is dividing an estate among family members, and a note that pays out over twenty years does not divide cleanly. That being said, the most common reason we hear in Florida is simpler than either. The money is worth more in your hand right now, for a house, for a business, for retirement, than it is arriving in small pieces over two decades.

When you sell a Florida mortgage note, the offer is calculated against the unpaid principal balance (or the amount your buyer still owes you on the day of sale). For a performing note secured by an occupied residential or commercial property, that offer typically lands between 70 and 90 cents on the dollar, depending on the characteristics and the circumstances surrounding the asset. The payment history, the interest rate, the equity in the property, and the condition of your paperwork determine where in that range your note falls. We have been purchasing Florida mortgage notes since 2006, and once we have your details, a firm written offer typically follows within 2 to 5 business days, depending on how complex the property and the transaction are.

Florida is one of the most active owner-financing markets in the country. Condos that banks hesitate to finance, seasonal homes, and buyers arriving from out of state all push sellers toward carrying the note themselves, and every one of those deals leaves somebody collecting a monthly payment. If that somebody is you, the mortgage note you hold is an asset, and it can be sold for cash.

Florida Real Estate Market Overview

Florida is the third-largest state by population and one of the most active real estate markets in the country. With 23.4 million residents and explosive growth driven by migration from high-tax states, the Sunshine State generates enormous volumes of seller-financed transactions. Florida uses a judicial foreclosure process that can take 180-365 days, which is among the longer timelines nationally. However, strong property values and consistent demand offset this consideration for note buyers. From the international gateway of Miami to the Gulf Coast retirement havens and the I-4 corridor’s tech growth, Florida offers one of the deepest mortgage note markets in the secondary market.

Considerations for Non-Performing Mortgage Notes

A Florida mortgage note where payments have fallen behind or stopped altogether is non-performing, and it is priced accordingly against our diligence and purchase criteria. Florida is a judicial foreclosure state that uses mortgages as the primary security instrument. The typical foreclosure timeline is 180-365 days. Note buyers factor this timeline into their pricing, faster foreclosure states generally command stronger offers due to the fact that the path to capital recovery is shorter and more predictable.
