Charles:
Yield requirments vary along with the credit worthiness of the payor on the note. There are some “A” credit owner occupied residential deals we are currently purchasing with yields under 9%. Thats right under 9% ! These are VERY strong well secured deals.
However to say that this 9% yield would be a typical required yield for residential owner occupied product would be a misstatement since we don’t see a whole lot of “product” that might ever fit these parameters.
Credit, note rate, seasoning, down payment paid, etc. ALL are issues that invariably will come into play when establishing a return for a note. Also remember that “guidelines” are just that, they are general guidelines and not always carved into stone.

I’m interested in learning the current criteria for the various security backing paper. What kinds of yields are institutional buyers seeking for prime first position notes secured by:
Residential single fam.
Rental property up to 4 units
Raw Land
Building lots w/ improvements
Commercial buildings
Mobile homes w/ land
Mobil homes on leased space
I understand that there are many additional variables to consider such as LTV, ITV, price, down payment, buyer’s credit, interest rate, number of payments made, etc. So I ask for ballpark estimates for yield under relatively favorable conditions. Any input is welcomed.

I have found several buyers willing to deal around 15% with not-so-good credit. (Not to be confused with “tore-up from the floor up” credit mind you.) What is not-so good credit? That just depends on the note buyer! From what I have seen, 15% is a common yield they want to see. But yield isn’t everything, these people don’t have a “matrix” and can turn a deal down if they don’t like it for whatever reason. It doesn’t always make sense but hey, it is their money isn’t it?
