Now available is our comprehensive handbook written specifically for those receiving payments on real estate-secured notes and contracts. This handbook is invaluable to anyone who sold a property and provided financing to the purchaser. Most people are unaware of their responsibilities as a note holder. You can't just sit back and hope your payments will come in month after month. There are a number of items you must monitor for as long as you have payments owed to you. As a note holder, you are much like a lender and you need to act like one or risk losing part or all of the remaining balance on your note. This handbook describes the steps you need to take to protect your investment; the same steps professional note investors take on every note they hold. In short, the handbook was written with the following two objectives: 1. To decrease or eliminate the risk in holding a real estate note; and, 2. To maintain the greatest cash value for your note should you ever wish to sell it.
