Frequently asked questions
Many of the items that affect the value of your note were determined at the time the property was sold. However, there are three things that you can do now to make your note more valuable:
Keep good records and copies of the payments received.
Obtain a copy of the property insurance policy from the buyer each year.
Verify the property taxes are paid when they come due.
Following the three points will help you maintain the value of your important asset and avoid any unpleasant surprises.
We can purchase all or part of your remaining payments. Selling part of the payments allows you to receive a lump sum of cash up front, then payments when the note reverts back to you.
Many people elect to sell just enough payments to meet their cash needs today and keep some of the future payments as an investment or nest egg. Always ask for an option that meets your needs.
For more information, see the video - Partial Sale.
We typically close at a title company or attorney’s office in the county where the property is located. If you already have a title policy, we’ll close at the same title company or attorney’s office.
The payer experiences no change in the way the payments are structured. The only change will be the address where payments are mailed.
The process duration will vary, but we strive to make it efficient. After receiving a copy of the necessary documents, we aim to complete the transaction as quickly as possible.
The purchase price is paid in guaranteed funds (cashier’s check or wire transfer) upon receipt of the final transfer package and original documents.
We are happy to wire funds to the title company so you may exchange your original documents for the proceeds, assuring the safe and secure transfer of your valuable asset.

A note appraisal reflects the current market value of your payments similar to what a real estate appraisal provides for real property. It shows what your future payments are worth in cash dollars today and is sometimes referred to as a “note analysis” or “quote”.
We recommend you have your note evaluated once a year as pricing may change based on market conditions.
The value of a note is affected by the down payment, interest rate, payment amount, and term as well as the buyer’s credit rating and payment history. The type, condition, and value of the property also impacts the value of your note.
The time value of money, which makes payments due now more valuable than payments due in 20 to 30 years, also plays a role in the evaluation process. Generally, due to inflation, money in your pocket today is worth more now than later. All of these elements will be taken into consideration in determining the current value of your note.
