How Companies That Buy Mortgage Notes Determine Pricing

Private notes are generally bought at a discount with pricing a reflection of perceived risk and desired return.  Like most note buying companies, the offer is determined based on:

• Property Type
• Equity
• Credit
• Seasoning
• Terms of Repayment

There are some notes that demand premium pricing. If you are creating notes with seller financing its worth paying attention to the criteria for optim pricing.

Currently, FNAC is paying up to 97% of the Unpaid Principal Balance (UPB) for these premium notes:

• 1st Lien Only
• Single Family Residential
• Balance of $85k or more
• Credit of 680 or higher
• Equity of 20% or more

If the property is a rental it must meet all the base requirements for balance, credit, and equity.  If it is owner occupied it can take advantage of one flexible parameter in these areas:

• Balance of $50K to $84,999
• Credit between 650-679
• Equity of 15-19%

In addition to the great pricing, FNAC reports that 97% of the Premium Notes submitted went through to a successful closing and the commissions were on average 66% more than those earned on Standard Notes.
