The Importance of Maturity Dates
I have reviewed a few NP loan listings recently with long overdue maturity dates. How do maturity dates impact our leverage or ability to get the note performing again?

@Dj Olojo thank you for sharing your recommendation! That's exactly what I was thinking. Don't want to set my first experience up for higher potential of failure.

@Robert Hytha Thanks for sharing the potential complexity of the maturity dates. This does make expired maturity dates tricky.
Washington D.C. - Non-Performing 2nd Mortgage Note (Loan Mod Case Study)
I purchased this non-performing second mortgage back in 2016 on a property in Washington DC., at the time the property was valued at $700,000. Shortly after I purchased the mortgage, I applied my asset management techniques to the process. I hired a law firm that manages foreclosure cases. The law firm sent out a legal demand letter. A few days before the legal demand letter expired, the borrower reached out to me. We discussed the next steps, which is my loss mitigation process. The borrower than went MIA on me, so I had the law firm continue with the foreclosure process. It took about 11 months for the borrower to reach back out to resolve the delinquent 2nd mortgage. Here is his story, there was a point in 2010 where the borrower had lost their job and was out of work for 2 years, unfortunately. Then in 2012, he got another job and by then the borrower had a lot of back payments owed and because the loan was transferred so many times he was confused about where to send the payments to. The borrower had a 1st mortgage balance of $623,640, that he was current on and it was the 2nd mortgage, that he fell behind on. The 2nd mortgage unpaid principal balance was $68,988, plus he owed another $30,000 in past due interest and late fees (owed arrears). I took him through my loss mitigation process, and I set new loan terms for the borrower that created a lower monthly payment then he had before. This is why I love note investing, both parties of the transaction come out ahead, creating a win-win for both parties. Here are the Deal Numbers: - Purchase Price: $34,452 - Lawyer/Management Fees: $4,908 - Total Costs Paid: $39,360 New Loan Modification Terms: - Loan Mod Down Payment: $5,000 - Loan Balance: $93,988 - Loan’s Terms: 30 Years - Loan’s Interest Rate: 7.0% - Loan Payment: $625.30

So ~4.5 years to break even; or sell after performing. Are you holding it or did you sell it?
Scenario - Low $ Note For Sale - Take It Or Leave It
A potential Second Position NPN has a maturity that expires in 2 years. Additionally, the terms state that the Principal and Interest Payment on the Second were ~$30. The Senior Position is performing; however, it has several Partial Claims from HUD, with the most recent in late 2024. Potential Solution: This sounds like a loan modification given the UPB (<$10K), and $30/month is too low. However, with 2 years before it matures, what if the borrower doesn't agree to any reasonable resolutions. What do you do?

@Robert Hytha I haven't put in an offer yet, so I don't have the servicing notes. All the background so far is from public records. Asking is $3.4K.
Partial Claim Deed of Trust - HUD
Can a first position mortgage have more than one Partial Claim Deeds of Trust? I'm looking at recorded documents of a second position note I'm interested in, and I'm finding a succession of Partial Claim Deeds of Trust from HUD, under the same loan number. My initial thought is that one replaces the other, and HUD wouldn't continuously hand out loans. But I don't know that for a fact. Thanks for your insights!

I am Travelle - investing 2nd position NPNs. I work in healthcare and public health, for 13 years now. I started in real estate with buying/holding small multifamily properties. Notes are now my main focus. I was introduced to notes through BiggerPockets years back and just completed some course work through NoteNewbie. So it's proof of concept time, starting something reasonable. I live in Atlanta, GA and would love to connect in person! travellemason@cheerfullending.com
