For Note Sellers and Institutions
I Buy First-Lien Residential Mortgage Notes Directly.
In Michigan, Texas and Tennessee. One note or a small pool, mainly non-performing. I’ll sign an NDA before you share a file.
This site is for note sellers and institutions, not homeowners seeking loans or foreclosure help.
What I Buy
I buy first-lien residential mortgage notes on 1–4 family homes, directly from the holder. I am primarily looking for non-performing notes. I will also consider re-performing and sub-performing notes.
If you have a first-lien residential note in Michigan, Texas or Tennessee that you would rather sell, I would be glad to look at it. I’ll sign an NDA before you share a file.
Buy Box
This is what I am looking for. I will still look at a note that sits a little outside the balance range.

How It Works
-
1
Send a Tape
Start with a loan tape, or a short note if you have a single loan. I’ll sign an NDA before you share a file.
-
2
I Review
I review the tape against the buy box and follow up if I need more information.
-
3
I Bid
If it looks like a fit, I make a bid on the note or the pool.
-
4
We Close
We close through a standard assignment and allonge.
What to Send
A loan tape is enough to start. Please don’t include borrower names or other personal information on the first pass. I’ll sign an NDA before you share a file.
Loan Tape
To start, send a tape with these fields:
- Loan number
- Property city, state, and ZIP
- Property type
- Lien position
- Unpaid principal balance (UPB)
- Legal or total payoff balance
- Note rate
- Paid-to or next-due date
- Days delinquent
- Status (foreclosure, bankruptcy, or loss mitigation)
- Occupancy
- Last BPO or value, with date
- Property tax status
Then, Under NDA
After I sign an NDA, it helps to have:
- The collateral file: the note with endorsements and allonges, the mortgage, the assignment chain, and the title policy
- Payment history
- Servicing comments
- BPO
Who I Work With
