What Note Buyers Are Actually Evaluating
When our team reviews your note, here is what we are looking at — and how each factor affects your offer:
The creditworthiness of the borrower making payments on your note. A stronger credit score signals lower default risk and directly improves your offer. Even a rough credit range — strong, fair, or weak — helps us evaluate the note before a full review.
The larger the original down payment, the more skin in the game the borrower had from day one. A 10%+ down payment is a strong signal of borrower commitment and significantly reduces default risk — making your note more attractive to note buyers.
The remaining loan balance divided by the current property value. Lower LTV means more equity in the property — the single biggest pricing factor.
How many consecutive on-time payments the borrower has made. 12+ months of clean payment history significantly improves your offer.
First position notes are far easier to sell than second position notes. A second lien means another lender has priority claim on the property — that adds risk and typically reduces the offer significantly.
Higher interest rates on your note generally mean a better yield — and therefore a better offer — for the note buyer.
Single-family residential notes in desirable markets command better pricing than rural land or commercial notes. Strong markets like Miami, Atlanta, Houston, and Phoenix are favorable.
Deed of trust states with faster judicial foreclosure timelines are generally more favorable for note buyers — and that can translate into a slightly better offer for you.
How long ago the note was created. Very new notes with under 6 months of payment history are harder to price — but once seasoning builds, age alone is rarely a deciding factor.
Whether the property is owner-occupied, tenant-occupied, or vacant. Owner-occupied is the preferred scenario, but tenant-occupied notes are still purchasable. Vacant properties carry the most risk.
The price the property sold for when the note was created. Helps verify the transaction was arm's length and the original LTV was reasonable — useful context but rarely changes the offer on its own.
Very small note balances — typically under $30,000–$40,000 — can be harder to sell because transaction costs consume more of the yield. Not a dealbreaker, but it may affect pricing on smaller notes.
Whether the note is fully amortizing, interest-only, or has a balloon payment. Standard amortizing notes are the easiest to price. Balloon and interest-only structures are purchasable but require additional analysis.

Ohio Seller Financing Law — Detailed Reference
Ohio Mortgage, Foreclosure & Recording Law for Seller-Financed Notes
Ohio is a mortgage state with one of the more protective judicial foreclosure processes in the nation. Understanding Ohio's statutes directly affects what your note is worth, and Moxxie Asset Group's team ist seller-financed experienced with Ohio notes across all markets and property types. If you hold a seller-financed note secured by Ohio real estate, the information below is is worth — and how quickly a buyer can act if your borrower directly relevant to your sale. The information below is drawn from the Ohio Revised Code.
1. Ohio Uses Mortgages — Not Deeds of Trust
Ohio is a mortgage state. Every seller-financed transaction in Ohio uses a promissory note secured by a mortgage — not a deed of trust. This means foreclosure requires a court order (judicial foreclosure), which adds time to the process and affects note pricing. When you gather your documents, you will need your mortgage or deed of trust (depending on your state) — in Ohio, that document is a mortgage.
The mortgage grants the lender (note holder) a security interest in the property. Unlike deed-of-trust states where a trustee can sell the property non-judicially, Ohio requires a court-supervised sheriff's sale to foreclose — a process that typically takes 12–18 months.
For Ohio Note Sellers — Key Implication:
Ohio's longer judicial foreclosure timeline means note buyers apply a larger discount to Ohio notes than notes from fast-foreclosure states like Texas or Georgia. Notes with strong payment history, low LTV, and creditworthy borrowers offset this discount significantly.
2. Ohio Recording Requirements — Race-Notice Statute (Ohio Rev. Code § 5301.25)
Ohio follows a "race-notice" recording statute. Under Ohio Revised Code § 5301.25, a mortgage that is not recorded may be void against a subsequent purchaser or mortgagee who records first and has no actual notice of the prior interest. To protect priority, mortgages should be recorded with the County Recorder's office on or shortly after closing.
- Record the mortgage with the County Recorder in the county where the property is located
- Ohio has 88 counties — each has its own County Recorder's office
- Documentary transfer tax (conveyance fee) applies to deeds — not mortgages — at $1 per $1,000 of value
- Recording provides constructive notice to all subsequent parties
- An unrecorded mortgage is binding between the original parties but loses priority against bona fide purchasers
3. Ohio Foreclosure — Judicial Sheriff's Sale Process (Ohio Rev. Code § 2323.07)
Ohio requires judicial foreclosure for all mortgages. The lender must file a lawsuit, obtain a court judgment, and then proceed to a sheriff's sale. The typical timeline is 12–18 months from first default to completed sale, though complex cases can take longer.
Ohio also provides a right of redemption — borrowers may redeem the property after the sheriff's sale by paying the full judgment amount within a defined period. This further extends the timeline and is factored into how note buyers price Ohio notes.
Important: Ohio Foreclosure Timeline Affects Note Value
Ohio's 12–18 month judicial foreclosure timeline is one of the longer timelines among states we serve. This is the primary reason Ohio notes trade at a slightly larger discount than deed-of-trust state notes. Notes with seasoned payment history, low LTV (under 80%), and creditworthy borrowers command significantly better pricing — these factors reduce the perceived risk of the longer foreclosure process.
4. Ohio SAFE Act & ODFI Licensing — What Seller Financers Need to Know
Ohio has adopted the federal SAFE Act through Ohio Revised Code Chapter 1322. Under Ohio law, individuals who originate more than one seller-financed loan per year on non-owner-occupied property may be required to obtain an Ohio Residential Mortgage Loan Originator (RMLO) license through the Ohio Division of Financial Institutions (ODFI). Owner-occupant sellers financing the sale of their primary residence have limited exemptions — consult an Ohio real estate attorney if you are approaching licensing thresholds. A note originated in violation of the SAFE Act may affect saleability. Moxxie Asset Group evaluates SAFE Act compliance as part of every Ohio note review.
5. How an Ohio Note Transfer Works — Step by Step
When you sell your Ohio seller-financed note, these documents and steps complete the legal transfer:
- Allonge or endorsement — transfers the promissory note to the buyer, endorsed in blank or specifically
- Assignment of Mortgage — transfers the lien/security interest. Must be recorded with the County Recorder in the county where the property is located
- Purchase and Sale Agreement — defines the purchase price, representations, and warranties
- Borrower notification — the borrower is notified of the new payee after closing
Moxxie Asset Group handles all Ohio transfer paperwork. Most Ohio note closings complete within 3 to 5 weeks when all documents are received and title is clear.
