Become the Bank: The Note Cycle Advantage in Today’s Market-Eddie Speed

 

In this economy, Landlord are seeing their profit margins dropping from around 10% down to 4%.  This is causing landlords to start looking for more efficient ways to deploy their capital.  A great way to boost your returns is to sell your rental properties with seller financed notes and become the Bank. 

 

Background

In the past, landlords could normally enjoy returns close to 8 to 10 % on their rental portfolio.  Over the past few years, the return on rentals has dropped down to 4%.  Why has there been such a drop when rental rates have been increasing (+20% since covid)?   The reason is that your expenses have been increasing at a much higher rate (+50% since covid), dropping your net profit on your rental portfolio!

Overview

During the presentation, Eddie discussed the benefits of moving to a note investing solution for your rental portfolio, increasing your rate of return, providing a steady stream of income and giving you a good part of your day back! 

Become the Bank

By moving from rentals (think “Landlord”) into Seller Finance Notes (think “the Bank”), you can increase your returns dramatically.   When you are the Bank, you will start receiving monthly payments not for the next year, but for 20 or 30 years.  And finally, the workload to support a note is significantly less than a rental (1 rental takes the same time as supporting 18 notes).   Your biggest question will be what you will do with all your free time!  

Replace your Monthly Income Stream

How do notes create these improvements?   When you sell a property with seller financing, you can set the terms in such a manner that you will receive as much in your monthly payment as you receive in rent.  By selecting the correct borrowers, you can have a long-term stream of income to meet your financial goals.  In addition, the down payment will be paid at closing and will allow you to treat yourself to something nice today!

Reduce Expense and Gain Back Time

While expenses for rentals can exceed 50% of the rent, expenses for Notes range from $0 up to what a 3rd party servicer would charge (normally less than $40/month)!  And the reduction in your time will be immediately noticed.  No longer will you be finding new renters annually or receiving calls for broken ACs and clogged toilets.   

Future Investment Options

Once you have a seasoned note, you have many different options to sell the note if you are interested.   From a full sale to selling a limited number of future payments to sharing part of your future payments, the investment opportunities for you as the note owner are numerous.  You can find an exact solution that will meet your future investment needs!

Summary

Transitioning your rental portfolio to a seller financed notes can increase your rate of return, significantly decrease your workload and give you numerous opportunities for future investment opportunities.
