Program Materials

This CLE webinar will provide counsel for investors and lenders with an understanding of the key issues surrounding the purchase and sale of bank notes secured by real estate. The panel will discuss finding loans to buy and will present the best practices for negotiating and documenting the transaction.

Description

Real estate investors are continuing to take advantage of opportunities to purchase bank notes at less than face value in order to get to the underlying real estate securing the loans via foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure. Note purchases offer a number of risks and rewards for investors and lenders.

Investors' and lenders' counsel should understand the process of finding loans to buy and must strategically negotiate a deal that maximizes the value of the purchase and sale to their respective clients.

Counsel must navigate potential lender liability and foreclosure issues. In documenting the transaction, counsel should carefully craft representations and warranties provisions.

Listen as our panel of experienced real estate attorneys discusses the benefits and risks of purchasing bank notes, the legal issues involved with them, and the best practices for investors and lenders when negotiating and executing note sales.
