Win - Win Situations in Note Purchasing and Seller Financing
By Thomas J. Franklin

Overview of My Business and Services

I have provided trusted services for over 12 years specializing in purchasing owner financed notes, trust deeds, mortgages, land contracts, etc. I actively network with hundreds of note buyers and other sources interested in buying cash flows at a discount. I also assist Real Estate professionals and sellers by providing FREE advice for structuring notes that have favorable terms for investors to purchase. My company has created a network of Note Finders that locate notes for sale. When a Finder locates a note, he/ she passes them along to me. For their effort, I offer rewards, that is secured by a Fee Agreement entered into by my company and the Note Finder, for any referred deals that close without any additional responsibilities on their behalf.

When I locate a note holder interested in selling their paper, I interview him/ her employing a questionaire to extract information about the note, the property, the payor, and the needs of the note holder. I utilize the information obtained to evaluate and grade the note. From the evaluation and grading process, I determine the note's value which serves to protect the seller from note buyers presenting an unfair bid. Once a note seller has accepted a note buyer's quote, I facilitate the closing process. For me, it is all about creating a "win-win situation" for all vested parties and fostering long term business relationships.

Benefits of Owner Financing in Today' Real Estate Market

Seller financing is a "WIN-WIN" Situation for both REAL ESTATE INVESTORS/ LANDLORDS and BUYERS alike. For REAL ESTATE INVESTORS/ LANDLORDS, offering seller financing creates higher prices, bidding wars, and competition amongst buyers.

If you have a landlord tenant problem you'd like to ask a question about, please feel free to e-mail me your question.
Submit a landlord / tenant question for Mr. Reno
Please try to keep your questions as short and to the point as possible.

Dear Mr. Reno:
Question: If the land lord is unable to deliver an eviction notice because the tenant will not answer the door to sign for certified mail with a return receipt...what is the next course of action for the land lord? (Is there a set number of attempted days?)
Thank you
Bob Hatcher, Illinois

A: Thankfully, the law in most states does not require actual personal delivery. In my area, it's two or three attempts, then tape to door and mail regular and certified - but every area is different so you have to ask a local attorney.

Need to Add Anything Important to Your Lease?

Free Download
Standard Lease Addendum Form

You can make additions or amendments to your lease agreement with an addendum signed ny the landlord and tenantLease Addendum
This is a standard lease addendum form used for making additional information or clauses a part of the lease. When meeting with the tenants to do a lease signing, we often think of certain rules or clauses we'd like to add into the lease agreement. Most leases and rental agreements do not provide room for extra lease clauses (unless you are using The LPA Lease Agreement in word processor format) The lease addendum form can easily be filled in at the time of lease signing with topics that are important to you that may not be already included in the lease agreement form. It's a handy form to have in your folder if the need arises to add any special clauses to your lease.
