📋 Understand the Borrower Before You #Invest Payment history is incredibly important in #noteinvesting. Aim for 24+ months of payment history to see: ✓ Past dues or missed payments ✓ Consistency in payment timing ✓ Payment amounts (full, partial, late fees)

Deed of Trust vs. Mortgage — changes how you buy, price, and exit a note. Different parties. Different foreclosure timelines. Different by state. DoT · Mortgage · CFD listings on #Paperstac — filter by note type.👇 paperstac.com/for-sale #NoteInvesting #RealEstateInvesting

At closing, a borrower signs two things: the mortgage (or deed of trust), which ties the loan to the property, and the note, which is the promise to repay. Learn how it works: paperstac.com/blog/mortgage-… #NoteInvesting #MortgageNotes #RealEstateInvesting

The note and the mortgage aren’t the same document. The note = the promise to pay. It’s what note investors buy. The mortgage = the security. It creates the lien and the right to foreclose. When the note sells, the lien follows the note. That’s note investing. #NoteInvesting

Due diligence takes time — but ghosting the seller costs you the next deal. Stay on the short list: → Share a realistic timeline → Send status updates (even “still reviewing”) → Explain a pass in a line or two paperstac.com/blog/mortgage-… #NoteInvesting #Investing

Performing notes: typically 8%–14%/yr. Relatively passive — still needs oversight. Non-performing: deeper discounts, higher return, genuinely active work. U.S. delinquency hit 4.44% in Q1 2026 (MBA). Selectivity matters more than ever. paperstac.com/for-sale
