Selling a note "with recourse?" - Posted by Tom - WA

Tom:
Most not all note funders will purchase your seller financed paper without recourse (I know we do). We will look primarily to the property and the debtor for repayment NOT to the note seller. So you may have been misinformed or mislead. There are a few investors who will want you to provide RECOURSE, however you are not obligated to go with them as funders.

To your success,

I just read on the legal board that if I resell a note to an instutition, it’s usually “with recourse,” meaning that if the payor defaults, I’m responsible for the payments? That’s really scarey, and it turns me right off of the whole note-brokering idea. Am I over-reacting?

I have found that most buyers of notes do not need recourse. It’s efficacy is greatly overstated, so I would avoid those buyers, and avoid with recourse. It is a rare request in this business.
