Terrell:
We purchased ALL types of real estate secured notes (including land as collateral).
Clearly in today’s market land values have taken a hugh hit in most parts of the country.
I have some familiarity with this same deal in Golden Valley, AZ (someone showed it to us). What you may or may not be aware of is that even though the land originally sold for $150K with $75K cash put down, the estimated current value for this land have dropped substantially to around $85,000.00
This makes the existing LTV - loan to value quite high for a land deal and questions whether that short term dangerous balloon payment coming due in 3 years will ever get paid.
This deal is best priced as a PARTIAL Buy out of some sort
Best to your success;
