USING IRA’S AND OTHER RETIREMENT ACCOUNTS TO BUY NOTES

The biggest hurdle to get over for note investors is the problem of the discount. For the most part, the note holder has done little or no due diligence before agreeing to carry the paper. Yet they expect the note buyer to ignore underwriting the risk by paying them “full price” for the note. I even had one seller who multiplied his payment ($475.57) times the number of remaining payments (113) and insisted he deserved $53,739.41 for his note. Obviously the concept of the Time Value of Money was simple beyond his understanding.

We have reasonable success in overcoming this objection by using the following in our marketing:

WE CAN PAY YOU FULL PRICE FOR YOUR NOTE, IF YOU WILL GIVE US A TIME CONSESSION ON SOME OF THE MONEY!


If I may digress for just a minute, we use a contract with local investors and or our IRA sources that do not require any personal liability on our part. The investor looks to the underlying collateral to make him/her whole in the event of default. Email me at hdvorken@wf.net and I will be glad to send you a copy of the contract without any cost. Make the subject FREE CONTRACT.

As you no doubt know, growth inside a retirement account is either tax deferred or if it is a ROTH, it is TAX FREE for ever. Since there is no tax, IRA owners will accept lower returns. Think of the low rates on TAX FREE municipal bonds. Look at the chart below:

Yield on the Note Tax Bracket Tax Bracket Tax Bracket

10.00% 28% = 13.89% 32% = 14.71% 35% = 15.38


In other words, if income taxes are involved, the yield has to be the greater amount in order to net 10%. One note of caution even though they might except less then 10%, never sell a note for a yield less then the note rate, as there could be a problem in the event of an early pay-off.

You find the following note:

N I PV PMT FV
240 10 80,000 772.02 0.0

16 payments have been made on time

N I PV PMT FV
224 10 78204.78 772.02 0.0

After a long discussion with the note seller, he admits that $37,500 would solve his problem. You offer to buy ½ of the note for ½ of the remaining payments. “I know you only need $37,500, but I’ll pay you $39,102.55. Will that be OK?”

N I PV PMT FV
112 ?? 39,105,22 772.02 0.0

I = 19.96

You offer an IRA a yield = to the note rate of 10.00% and they agree. You now have several choices

  1. Sell all the payments to the IRA and make $16,967.92

N I PV PMT FV
112 10 56,070.47 772.02 0.0

$56,070.47 - $39,102.55 = $16,967.92


  1. Keep $150 per month and make $6,073.68 up front and get $16,800 in payments over time.

Remember if you buy the note inside your own IRA, and then sell it to an investor, the profit goes NOT TO YOU, BUT YOU’RE IRA. If you buy the note and then flip it to someone else’s IRA, you can keep the cash flow and profits for yourself.

There is literally over a TRILLION Dollars in IRA’s Using these funds will make you more competitive in the note and real estate game.

They All Lived Happily After

AND THEY ALL LIVED HAPPILY EVER AFTER

“Henry, there is a man on the phone and he is very upset” said my secretary.

“What is his problem”, I asked. “He’s yelling about the book you wrote about Teeny-Boppers”, she said. “Teeny-Boppers? “Oh well put him on”.

“Henry Dvorken, may I help you?” “Are you the man that wrote that book about Teeny-Boppers?” “I think it is disgusting”. “Have you read the book sir?” “No, but I heard about it”. “Sir I wrote a book call Sallee-Bop-TB, it’s about. . .’ “That’s the one, a book about a Teeny-Bopper named Sally”.

After a long conversation I was able to calm my caller down and convince him I was not a pornographer. I offered him an opportunity to come by my office and look at the book. He declined but did agree he must have been mistaken if I had made that kind of offer. The world is strange sometimes.

People who have read my book ask me about risk. I have done over 30 deals, and have had five problem cases. Three were solved by resale at a profit, one needs to be rehabbed before it can be sold, and one is in contract and will be closed by the time you read this article. Let me tell you about my 14th street deal.

Minerva Cantu said she needed cash  for medical treatments for her daughter. It turned out she didn’t have a daughter, but that’s another story. Anyway I purchased her property (on the tax rolls for $19,950.00) for $11,500.00. If you’re from California multiply by 4 if you are having trouble with my Wichita Falls, numbers. If you’re from Arkansas divide by 2. We entered into a sale-lease back-option back agreement in February of 2003. Ms. Cantu was to pay $300 per month including $90 per month for Taxes and Insurance escrow; everything was great until she missed the September 2005 payment. We never could get her on the phone, and certified letters were returned. After 3 missed payments we started an action to evict her from my house. A constable served the notice.

I received a phone call from a very worried young woman. She introduced herself as Jennifer Solis, and explained she was purchasing the property under a Contract for Deed and had lived there since September of 2003. Cantu had sold a house she didn’t own to this unsuspecting young woman. We held a meeting and I agreed to sell her the house and carry the note at the same price as she owed Ms. Cantu. If Cantu had been timely with her payments, she could have exercised her option and  repurchased the house for $9,800 cash. The new note is at 9% for $17,700.00. Sixty-seven payments of $340.00 give me a yield of 35.84% if I use the cash option price.

My investor is pleased to see her payments start again. She agreed to renew and extend her note in return for a greater payment and a new interest rate of 8.5%. I will have Helen Aldrich paid off in 29 months. In the meantime I receive a net of $50.00 per month cash flow and will receive an additional $12,920 from Ms. Solis after I have paid off Mrs. Aldrich.

The title of this article is not quite correct. Ms. Solis is happy, I am happy, Mrs. Aldrich is happy. Only Ms. Cantu is unhappy. She tried to pull a sneaky and didn’t get away with it. Oh well “truth will out” as they say.

Sallee-Bop-TB is about using the commercial real estate technique of Sale, Lease-Back-Option-Back to buy SFR’s for 60 cents on the Dollar and have management free cash flow. The book is available (see the product link above).
