Real Estate Agent Sales Aid & Seller Carry Back Financing
I the Owner and CEO of a Paper Asset Liquidation Company. I aid Attorneys, CPAs, Real Estate & Mortgage Brokers with helping clients realize quick property sales through the use of seller-financed notes. I assist individuals and companies in turning privately held paper assets into cash. With my assistance, professional advisors have been able to help their clients conclude the purchase or sale of real estate & other properties through the use of seller-financing.
Over the past while I have helped a number of people to purchase homes. It is becoming more and more difficult for people to qualify for a mortgage. Many people are being refused a mortgage for various reasons such as inability to make the downpayment. After learning about my business, Real estate Agents are figuring out that if a seller is able to provide "Seller Carry Back Financing", the customer is able to make the purchase, move into the home and begin making the payments. The seller is able to move the property and the buyer is able to achieve their goal. It is a win-win for everyone.
After a bit of time passes, say 6-12 months, I can arrange for purchase of the financial note from the seller. This enables the seller to receive cash and to be clear of the headaches involved with being a Lender and a Landlord, so to speak.
The final result is that the Seller is able to receive cash and be clear of the property that they chose to sell. The Seller now has their cash. The new home owner has a good deal and can carry on with the purchase agreement as originally negotiated. The seller will notice very little change other than where the payments are sent to.
The sale of the Seller Carry Back financing can typically be completed within 10 - 20 days, with no expenses to the seller. All expenses would be covered by my end and the funds are processed through Escrow so that all parties involved are completely protected.
My note purchase techniques have also provided many note holders with the ability to liquidate revolving real estate distributions, divorce settlements, partnership dissolutions, real estate exchanges & similar situations where the conversion of private paper assets to cash may be required.
I would be very proud to offer my services to help people achieve their dreams. I work with properties, and other notes, all throughout Canada and the USA.

Selling Cash Flow Notes, Trust Deeds & More
For those looking to sell notes of any kind;
i.e. Real Estate Notes, Legal Settlements, Contracted Cash Flows and a wide variety of other Note Types. Note buying and selling has become extremely popular over the last decade or so, and Note Sellers such as yourself have more opportunities than ever before.
Now you can quickly and easily sell all or simply a portion of a note that you carry. This gives you immediate access to needed cash for purchases, cash flow, investment or other financial purposes. Research shows that Note Selling or Note Buying has gone on for a great many years.
At Platinum Innovative Services Inc. , I have teamed up with the most reputable, most experienced note buyers in the country and created the http://www.professionalnoterelief.com/ website. If you have a note to sell or just want to learn a little more about the types of notes we purchase, you've come to the right place.
There are many reasons to sell your note, and most of the time it can be more profitable to you than not doing so.
The key to remember is: "Money today is always worth more than money tomorrow".
What does this mean? It means that over time, due to inflation, uncertainty of what the future holds and other intrinsic factors, the value of money declines.
Example: $50,000 owed to you in monthly installments over 10 years is not worth nearly as much as the full amount right now, or even a significant percentage of that full amount.
That's why so many people choose to sell their notes in their entirety, or just a portion of the note. It gives them access to instant cash that they can use for whatever purpose they choose...and they don't have to worry about whether or not they are going to receive the payments they are due, month after month, year after year.
Note selling will give you peace of mind!

"Escrow", What is Escrow & Why is it good for me.
Definition:
*To deposit something of value with a third party who will deliver it to another party when certain conditions have been met.
*The term is often used to describe different events during and after a real estate transaction.
I will use a Real Estate Transaction to explain the "Escrow Process" in more depth:
*You'll probably hear the word escrow many times during your home buying transaction, and the term can be confusing, because it is used to describe different events that take place before and after the real estate settlement, the day of closing when the property becomes yours.
Let's take a look at the definition of the term escrow and the different ways it comes into play during your home buying transaction.
Escrow: Documents or something else of value, often money, held by a neutral third party in order to be used at a later date to fulfill an obligation.
Escrow During the Home Buying Process
Earnest Money Deposits
*If you are buying a home, your first exposure to escrow was probably associated with the "earnest money deposit" that accompanied your offer to purchase the house. (This protects your "Good Faith" deposit) That money likely went into someone's trust account, where it will remain in escrow, protected by that neutral third party, until it is credited to you when the transaction closes (or is dispersed in other ways if the transaction fails to close).
Escrow Agent
*You'll hear the term escrow used to describe the title company, attorney or another person who is hired to handle your closing transaction. That person is often called an escrow agent, because she maintains all documents and funds related to the transaction until the day of closing.
Lender Escrow Accounts
*The term escrow is used again to describe accounts your lender sets up in order to pay your home insurance and property taxes when they become due. Remember the initials PITI? You saw them when the lender calculated your projected monthly payment. Those letters stand for the components of each payment:
P, Principal
I, Interest T, Taxes
I, Insurance
*Tax and insurance bills are typically sent directly to your lender. Both of those bills are paid annually, but most lenders require you to pay 1/12th of the annual bill each month. The lender deposits the partial payments in an escrow account, where they'll accumulate until it's time to pay your taxes and insurance the following year.
*You'll begin funding your your escrow accounts by making a payment into them at closing.
RESPA Guidelines for Escrow Accounts
*The Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA) (in USA) includes laws that all lenders must follow when funding and managing your escrow accounts.
*RESPA does not require borrowers to maintain an escrow account with their lender--lenders make that decision. The laws do regulate the maximum amounts that a lender can require a borrower to maintain in an escrow account.
Escrow Account Cushions
*Lenders can require borrowers to keep a cushion, or excess, balance in their escrow accounts to cover unanticipated increases in the following year's tax and insurance bills.
*The cushion cannot be more than one-sixth of the total amount paid out of the account each year. That usually amounts to two months of escrow payments. Most lenders now require that borrowers fund their escrow accounts to the maximum amounts.
Must lenders pay interest on money held in escrow accounts?
*RESPA does not require lenders to pay interest, but some states do.
What if my lender doesn't pay my taxes on time?
*The lender should pay your taxes on time if your mortgage payments were paid on time. The lender must pay any penalties assessed to you for late payment. If the lender refuses, you can file a formal complaint with RESPA.
What should I do if my lender doesn't pay my hazard insurance and the policy is cancelled?
*Lenders are required to make payments on time if your mortgage payments were on time. Contact the lender immediately and fax a copy of the insurance bill, making sure it is sent to the correct department. Talk to an attorney if you incur damages due to the lender's failure to pay.
-Some people opt to pay the past due premium to make sure their coverage isn't terminated, then deal with the lender to get it back.
How much money is the lender allowed to have me keep as a cushion in escrow? *Your lender can require you to keep an escrow cushion that equals no more than the 1/6th excess funds mentioned above.
I hope this has given you an example of Escrow and how it is utilized in some, but of course not all real estate transactions.
Esrow is also commonly used in the sale of Seller Carry Back Mortgages. This is of course what is commonly useed when closing a transaction with my company, PLATINUM INNOVATIVE SERVICES INC. .

Why is a Deed of Trust Different From a Mortgage?
What is a Deed of Trust?
*If you have never read a deed of trust, you might have questions about it. After all, it is the security for your loan. It is the document that is recorded in the public records.
A deed of trust contains three (3) parties:
*The Trustor, which is you, the borrower
*The Trustee, which is an entity that holds "bare or legal" title
*The Beneficiary, which is the lender
The deed of trust is an instrument that identifies the following:
*Original loan amount
*Legal description of the property being used as security for the mortgage
*The parties
*Inception and maturity date of the loan
*Provisions of the mortgage and requirements
*Late fees
*Legal procedures
*Acceleration (* Note 1) and alienation clauses (* Note 2)
*Riders, if any, regarding such clauses as prepayment penalties or terms of an adjustable
rate mortgage
What is a Trustee?
Because mortgages do not contain a trustee, many borrowers are confused between a mortgage and a deed of trust. Deeds of trust contain a trustee, an independent third party that does not represent the borrower nor the lender.
*The trustee is an entity, generally a title company, that holds the "Power of Sale" in the event of default.
*The trustee also reconveys the property once the deed of trust is paid in full.
*In the event of a default, the trustee files a Notice of Default; however, in most instances, the trustee will substitute another trustee to handle the foreclosure under a Substitution of Trustee.
*After the 90-day period in the public records, and a 21-day publication period in the newspaper, the trustee then has the power to sell the property on the courthouse steps without a court procedure.
*During the three months following recordation of the Notice of Default, the borrower can redeem the property by making up the back payments and paying the trustee's fees.
*Once the trustee sells the property at a Trustee's sale, it is final.
What is a Promissory Note?
*Whereas the deed of trust is security of the debt, secured by the property, the promissory note is secured by the deed of trust and is the evidence of the debt.
*The promissory note is a promise to pay, signed by the borrower in favor of the lender.
*It contains the terms of the loan such as the interest rate and payment obligations.
*The promissory note is generally not recorded.
*When the loan is paid, the promissory note is marked "paid in full" and returned to the borrower, along with a recorded Reconveyance Deed.
*During the term of the loan, the lender retains the promissory note.
Before Signing a Promissory Note and Deed of Trust you should always read both documents, including the pre-printed portions. You might ask the closer to send you a blank deed of trust and promissory note beforehand. Because preparers are human and can make mistakes, here are the important items to review:
*Spelling of trustors' names
*Principal balance of the loan
*Interest rate (and the rider, if adjustable)
*Payment amount
*Prepayment penalties, if any
*Address of property
*Notes:
1) "Acceleration Clause"
Definition: Language in a mortgage or trust deed allowing the lender to immediately call the loan due and payable upon certain events such as selling the property to another person without paying off the lender or making major alterations to the property without notifying the lender. TIP: While alienation clauses can accelerate a loan, not all loan accelerations are called due and payable because of an alienation.
Examples: An acceleration clause "accelerates" the loan balance.
2) "Alienation Clause"
Definition: Language in a mortgage or trust deed that allows the lender to call the loan immediately due and payable in the event the owner sells the property or transfers title to the property. Almost every loan today contains an alienation clause, which means title cannot transfer and a buyer cannot purchase subject to an existing loan without triggering a due on sale clause.
