Notes and Deeds
Are You Buying Notes and Deeds? SpendMeNot has some housing statistics for 2021: “Moratoriums on foreclosures (have been) in place due to the ongoing pandemic, and they’re artificially depressing the number of foreclosures. The number of mortgages in serious stages of delinquency is actually five times higher than a year ago.”
If you’re a real estate solutions company buying properties for cash, are you buying notes and deeds? You can add an arrow to your quiver by buying notes and deeds. They can be far more profitable and less stressful than stocks and real estate investment in physical property.

As the dust settles from the sorrows of the pandemic, government agencies sell delinquent notes to big institutional investors like Lone Star Funds, Goldman Sachs and Fortress Investments, as well as some community nonprofits, in bulk. The agencies have sold more than $28 billion in distressed loans since 2012, according to government data. The selling of delinquent notes and deeds presents an opportunity for knowledgeable investors.
You can become the bank and service the notes and deeds yourself or hire a third-party servicing company that also deals with late pays.
First, Let’s Define Some Terms:
The Deed
The Deed is a legal document that gives rights to something. In real estate, a Deed transfers title of ownership and gives the new owner the right to use the property.
The Note
The Note (or Promissory Note) is a contract where a party makes a promise to pay a sum of money to another party under specific terms. In real estate, the Note is the legal document that binds the borrower to repay a mortgage loan. This agreement will contain important loan specifications, such as the loan amount, interest rate, due dates, late charges, and the terms of the mortgage.
Hard money lenders, individual investors, and community banks can auction-off or sell-off mortgage notes (the notes can be current or in various states of default)
Individuals can bid on and purchase these notes, and start receiving payments from the borrowers
How to Buy and Sell Notes and Deeds
A recent example: A note on an Atlanta-area home was being sold for $24,360; according to estimates from Zillow and local agents, its market value was between $50,000 and $70,000.
Some back taxes were owed, and a payment history showed that while the homeowner was making erratic or partial payments on her $500 monthly mortgage, she hadn’t quit. She had some equity built up in the house, another sign of commitment.
