Jamie Bateman on Mortgage Notes
The Strategic Advantage
Jamie Bateman, a prominent voice in mortgage note investing, emphasizes the versatility of this investment strategy. Mortgage notes offer a unique advantage: you can invest across state lines without ever visiting the properties. This location independence is a game-changer, making it easier to diversify your investment portfolio.
Moreover, mortgage notes come with a relatively low barrier to entry. Utilizing a licensed loan servicer simplifies compliance and licensing hurdles. This ease of access complements existing residential real estate investing experience and provides opportunities for creative and analytical investment strategies. However, Jamie notes that mortgage notes lack inherent tax advantages. Fortunately, this limitation can be mitigated with self-directed accounts.
Passive Investors' Opportunity
Jamie offers a tantalizing glimpse into the potential for passive investors to earn high returns by partnering with him. For those interested, Jamie’s platform offers pathways to explore these lucrative opportunities further.
Understanding Private Money in Real Estate
Securing Single-Family Houses
Jay Conner elucidates how private money underpins real estate transactions, particularly in single-family houses. Utilizing promissory notes to secure private lenders is a prudent strategy, complemented by collateral via a deed of trust or mortgage. Insurance policies include private lenders as mortgagees, and Conner maintains a conservative loan-to-value ratio of 75%. Additionally, a 90-day call option provides a safety net for emergencies.
Collateral and Mortgage Notes
Mortgage notes employ a similar protective measure through hypothecation, where the note and deed of trust serve as collateral. An illustrative example is purchasing a $70,000 principal balance note for $50,000 and borrowing $30,000 against it. Such flexibility in terms is mutually agreed upon between lender and borrower, making mortgage notes a versatile investment vehicle.
