Real Estate Notes

Real estate notes are legal documents used to assign buyer rights and record details of the transaction. Also known as "real estate receivables," these documents are created when a piece of real estate or land is sold. It could be a mortgage note, land contract, or contract sale where the buyer makes cash payments directly to the seller.

In essence, real estate notes are used as collateral and to document the promise to pay the note. They are frequently used along with mortgages and aide in the financing of real property. They are almost always used when the seller offers seller carry back financing. In this type of real estate transaction the seller carries a portion or the entire amount of the loan. The buyer pays the seller a down payment and the balance is paid in installments.
