Texas Mortgage Note Buyers

Why Mortgage Note Holders Sell Their Texas Mortgage Notes

Texas creates more mortgage notes than nearly any state in the country, and Amerinote Xchange has been buying them since 2006. A good portion of the mortgage notes that come across our desk in any given month are secured by Texas property. That is no accident. When bank lending tightens up, Texas sellers carry the financing themselves, and they have been doing it for generations.

The reasons mortgage note holders sell are as varied as the notes themselves. Some are done being the bank and want their capital back in one piece. Some are settling an estate that a twenty year payment schedule refuses to divide neatly. Keep in mind, there is no wrong reason to sell a mortgage note. If the lump sum serves you better than the monthly payment, that is a good enough reason to get a number.

A performing Texas mortgage note backed by an occupied residential or commercial property will typically bring somewhere between 70 and 90 cents on the dollar of the unpaid principal balance at the time of sale, depending on the characteristics and the circumstances surrounding the asset. Where a mortgage note lands within said range boils down to four items, which are the payment history, the interest rate, the equity in the collateral, and the quality of the paperwork. Weaker collateral prices below the range, plain and simple. Submit your details and a firm written offer comes back typically within days.

In Texas, the loan is secured by a deed of trust, although selling a Texas mortgage note works the same as it does in a mortgage state. Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, and Austin all produce steady volumes of mortgage notes from owner-financed sales, as do the smaller markets between them. If the property behind your mortgage note sits anywhere in the state, we want to review it.

The Texas Mortgage Note Market

Texas is a powerhouse real estate market, the second largest in the nation by volume. Four of the top 15 US metros are in Texas (Dallas-Fort Worth, Houston, San Antonio, and Austin), each generating enormous volumes of seller-financed transactions. Texas’s no-income-tax advantage continues to drive population migration, rising property values, and strong note pricing. As a deed of trust state, Texas also uses a non-judicial foreclosure process that can be completed in as few as 27 days, one of the fastest timelines in the country. That speed gives note buyers a clearer path to recover their investment in the event of borrower default, which is one reason Texas mortgage notes consistently attract strong offers on the secondary market.

Considerations for Non-Performing Mortgage Notes

Texas mortgage notes with payment trouble, late, partial, or stopped, are non-performing assets and get priced on a distinct set of facts:

• The state of the payment record. The date the last payment landed and the month on the amortization schedule it truly paid.
• Foreclosure speed. The Texas deed of trust process runs among the fastest in the country, and quick recovery holds up the price of a non-performing mortgage note. Our foreclosure laws guide compares every state.
• Where the property taxes stand. Delinquent taxes come ahead of the mortgage note when the property pays out, and the offer prices that in.
• The default rate the note carries. Post-default interest is part of the instrument’s economics, and said economics belong in the price.
• The property’s value as of now. Present-day collateral value carries the debt, and the origination appraisal does not get a vote.

The ceiling on what a mortgage note can legally charge sits in our usury laws by state reference.
