@Jeremi Washington welcome to the group!
Graham Stephan
Interesting watching Graham Stephan on YT openly talk about selling parts of his real estate portfolio and shifting more toward notes, liquidity, and cash flow. A lot of people think real estate investing is only about owning doors forever… but experienced investors understand something deeper: 👉 Equity without liquidity can become a trap. 👉 Cash flow without flexibility can become stress. 👉 And leverage works great… until the market changes. This is why more investors are starting to appreciate the power of notes. When you own the NOTE instead of the property: ✔ No tenants ✔ No toilets ✔ No renovations ✔ No management headaches ✔ Yet you can still create predictable monthly income The interesting thing is… many sophisticated investors eventually move UP the capital stack. They go from: 🏠 Owning real estate ➡️ to controlling paper ➡️ to controlling cash flow In uncertain markets, liquidity matters. Cash flow matters. Control matters. That doesn’t mean real estate is dead. Far from it. But it does show that even large creators and investors are recognizing the value of: • Reducing operational risk • Increasing flexibility • Holding income-producing paper • Preserving capital while staying invested The wealthy don’t always ask: “How many properties do I own?” Sometimes the better question is: “How many income streams pay me every month without me managing the asset?” That’s where note investing becomes very interesting. #NoteInvesting #RealEstateInvesting #CashFlow #PassiveIncome #MortgageNotes #TheNoteDoctor #RealEstate #FinancialFreedom #Investing

Smart decision!!!!!!
Own note
Is it possible to find my note and purchase it?

@Andre Harris No, the note owner (lender) wouldn't sell it to you. If the note is severely delinquent and it gets sold to the secondary market. Depending on who owns it and if you're able to talk to the decision maker, you may be able to pay it off at a discount or even have someone you know purchase it from the the note owner for less than face value. We agree to discounted payoffs with borrowers all the time, to satisfy the mortgage debt. Every once and awhile we sell the note to someone the borrower knows, for less than face value. The borrower then pays that person back based on what they agree to.
Down Payment for Loan Modifications
Looking for some feedback from the group. When modifying a loan for a borrower, do you follow a general rule of thumb for the down payment, or is it handled on a case by case basis? Does anyone base it on a percentage of the full reinstatement amount?

Once the borrower is ready to modify the loan. I present them with 3 payment plan options. Those 3 payment plan options include a down payment. Option #1 has the biggest down payment, the lowest interest rate and lowest monthly payment amount. An example would be, Option #1 - Down Payment $15k to $20k Option #2 - Down Payment $10k to $15k Option #3 - Down Payment $5k to $10k No fixed amount for the down payments. The bigger the loan payoff amount, the bigger the down payment I try to get. I at least try to get $5k. Comes down to negotiating with the borrower and making them feel like they're getting a good deal. I see between $1k up to $20k for down payments. Anything more than $20k is fantastic.
