Anybody know anything about the Beacon Program? Does it have something to do with buying notes at simultaneous closings? Does anyone know of where I can find out more about this? Is this from a particular company? Is there a website or a phone number for more info.? Thanks in advance for your help.

The Beacon program is a note buying program cloaked as a mortgage program. You get the people to sell and the buyer goes through their program such that they buy for a percentage of the 80% 1st lien. I will email you the website address directly.
