Protected: Crafting a Note for Buyers

Crafting a Note for Buyers
In previous issues, the best method for selling a home in a tough market with seller financing was explained. The benefits to the seller from involving a qualified cash flow finder with a seller financed deal and having a note buyer “on board” before the note is created were also covered. While using seller finance techniques to sell a property are no more difficult than a traditional real estate closing, following a logical and proven plan is the best method for ensuring a successful real estate sale with seller financing.
The sellers’ misconception
Many property sellers stay away from seller financing because they mistakenly believe that creating a note is not a viable solution for selling their home. After all, if they can’t walk away with enough cash to provide the down payment on another property, they’ll be powerless to replace the property they’re selling.
As a consequence of this common misunderstanding, many sellers feel compelled to stick with conventional real estate methods, limiting their options and missing out on the benefits that seller financing could offer them.
In actuality, many notes created through seller financing are quickly sold and the seller ends up with the cash they need. Even better, if the note is created with buyers’ purchasing criteria in mind, the seller could walk away from the closing table with cash in hand. This means that the net result is almost exactly the same as with a conventional real estate sale!
In the cases where the note holder does have a problem selling their monthly payments, the difficulty in liquidating the note is typically a result of one general problem: the note was not created with the buyer in mind. Instead, it was created with only the payer in mind. To ensure that a newly-created note will be attractive to potential buyers, it is important to recognize that their purchasing criteria are important as well.
Too good of a deal
For property sellers looking to sell their note immediately, it would be a grave mistake to create the note by prioritizing only the payer’s demands. A buyer must have a compelling reason to agree to collect payments in order to buy a note, such as a substantial down payment, a respectable payer’s credit score (to minimize risk), a competitive interest rate, or a fairly short term.
An example of a “bad note” from a buyer’s point of view would be a seller financing situation where no down payment was collected, the payer’s credit score was not checked, and the interest rate is fixed at 3%. Basically, this is TOO good of a deal! Even payers that qualify for loans from traditional lending institutions would jump at this offer with no out-of-pocket money required and a rate below prime.
Clearly, the note payer and note buyer are looking for very different things. Payers would love a “no money down” purchase with financing at a low interest rate, but most buyers wouldn’t want anything to do with this sort of note simply because it is a bad deal for them.
In a situation without a reasonable down payment there is nothing holding the payer to their obligation. After all, a payer involved in a “no money down” purchase could walk away and lose almost nothing financially. Abandoning their obligation to pay may hurt their credit score, but it was their substandard credit that forced them into a seller-financing situation in the first place.
When there is no equity in the property (buyers will use the lower of the property value or the sales price to calculate equity), all offers to purchase the secured note will be discounted substantially in order to compensate for the buyer’s risk of default. A heavily discounted buyout offer often means the seller will not be able to get the money they need.
If the seller of a private note needs a large amount of cash immediately, they must be able to sell the note as soon as it has been created. And to quickly find a buyer, the note must meet the general buying parameters of these people, which include a solid down payment, a decent interest rate, and typical terms.
Creating notes that can be sold
Every buyer has their own criteria that determine what they will or won’t buy, but a down payment of at least 10% is a good minimum figure when creating a note. This upfront payment immediately creates equity in the property which acts as the buyer’s safety net in a foreclosure. A competitive interest rate is important because it will make it easy for the buyer to purchase the note and yield the desired profit without much of a discount to the note holder. Finally, keep in mind that people typically avoid notes that do not follow a traditional term (amortized over 120 months, 180 months, etc). A two-year, interest-only balloon term is a perfect example of a note that most buyers would avoid.
The points described above are only a rudimentary starting point for note creation; there are certainly other things that buyers look for when considering a note. It is always a good idea for the seller to contact a qualified note finder in order to get the specific information they need.
The finder will be able to utilize their experience in working with buyers to give the seller general guidelines about what should meet most buyers’ parameters. Of course, there are no absolute guarantees of a quick sale, but when the seller creates a note with the buyer.s needs in mind, it should not be a problem to locate an interested buyer who will give the seller the cash settlement they need.

Land note/contract sales

ED FRANKLIN’S land note/contract sales get cash now

land contract
A land contract is a contract between the buyer and a private seller of a property, wherein the seller holds the title or deed to the property until all agreed upon payments have been made in full
This property may be improved or unimproved, vacant, or a home or a commercial
Land contracts began to disappear when loan requirements softened and rates dropped below 8%
But they have not vanished all together and, in fact, tiptoed back into the market in 2006
Land contracts or contracts for deed are a security agreement between a seller, called a Vendor, and a buyer, called a Vendee
The Vendor agrees to sell a property by financing the purchase for the Vendee
Sue Heimbichner, an escrow officer at Chicago Title in Sacramento, has been in the business since 1976 and has watched the popularity of land contracts come and go
An agreement between a buyer and seller of property in which the buyer makes payments toward full ownership (as with a mortgage), but in a land contract, the title or deed is held by the owner until the full payment is made
This type of contract is technically not a legally binding agreement and, therefore, many different types of payment formats can be found
As in a standard mortgage, there is an agreed upon price and payment schedule, but the payments are often not amortized evenly, so that a large balloon payment may be required to complete the purchase
Also known as an installment purchase contract or an installment sale agreement
A land contract can be thought of as a “lease with an option to buy”
Certain states have more generous legal rights for land contract holders than others
As a result, the world of land contracts can be difficult to navigate
As such, as land contract buyer must be very careful to ensure that the terms of the contract are legally binding in case a dispute arises in the future
Land contracts are often used by purchasers that would not otherwise qualify for a mortgage, or by investors who wish to complete a purchase faster than a regular mortgage would allow
In some parts of the country it is known as a “Contract for Deed” and in other areas it is known as an “Installment Contract
” This form is designed as an agreement between the Seller and the Buyer for the purchase of real property in which the payment of all or a portion of the purchasing price is deferred
The purchase price may be paid in installments over the period of the contract, with the balance due at maturity
When the Buyer completes the required payments, the Seller must deliver valid legal title by way of a deed
During the period of the contract, the Buyer makes installment payments on the purchase price and to possession and equitable title to the property
The Seller holds legal title and continues to be liable for payment of any underlying mortgage or loans
The Buyer may assign and convey his/her interest in this “Contract” or any part thereof provided, however, that such assignment or conveyance should not result in any impairment of Seller’s position
Under no circumstances shall any assignment or conveyance release the Buyer from obligations under this “Land Contract” unless the Seller specifically releases the Buyer in writing
Can you read an existing agreement or contract and tell the difference between what and what is not
If you don’t understand all that legal language, you’re not the only one
Whether you are the buyer or seller, the language of any LAND CONTRACT can be confusing
Unfortunately, most of us cannot afford to hire an attorney to help us

You don’t have to know all the rules, because our easy-to-use land contract form contains all the legal language you need
All you have to do is fill in your information
Don’t be mislead by all the free and cheap real estate forms available on the Internet

Our Official LAND CONTRACT forms contain all the legal language and protection you need
That old saying about “how you get what you pay for” has never been more valid
The entire process to obtain a valid land contract form is quick, easy, very affordable and most of all USER FRIENDLY
Keep reading and we will explain how everything works
Your land contract is only a click away
We respect your privacy and pledge not to abuse this privilege
Please be assured that we will NEVER sell, share or promote your e-mail address to anyone
Often times, home buyers are in a financial position to afford the monthly payments associated with home ownership, but they lack the down payment necessary to purchase a home
Or, the buyer’s credit score or rating may prevent he or she from obtaining traditional bank financing required for the purchase of a home
In those cases, it often makes sense for the buyers to consider purchasing a home or piece of real estate and have the owner/seller provide the financing for the purchase
Likewise, selling a home by way a land contract can prove beneficial to the seller in many ways
Likewise, real property sold on a land contract can often be priced higher than sales with bank financing since the seller provides the all-important financing and the buyer is often times not required to come up with a large down-payment, thereby permitting a higher asking price for the property
So how does a land contract work
Land contracts are common throughout the United States
In some states, they are called Trust Deeds, Contract for Deed, Deeds of Trust, Notes, or (privately held) Mortgages, but they all represent the same thing: a way of selling property where the buyer “borrows” from or relies upon the seller for the financing rather than paying cash up front or borrowing from a bank
The seller and buyer enter into a contract that normally states that the seller shall transfer ownership of the property to the after the buyer has fully paid the seller the agreed upon purchase price
In most cases, the contract requires the buyer to make a modest down payment and then to make monthly payments over time
The land contract can require the buyer to pay the seller interest on the money owed (just like a bank would)
During the term of the land contract (i
while the contract is in force and effect, the buyer is not in default and until all of the payments are made), the buyer holds legal possession of and occupies the property
The land contract can call for transfer of the property once the seller has received all of the required payments or can call for the transfer at some time sooner, with the seller then holding a mortgage on the property to ensure that the balance of the purchase price will be paid in full
Whatever the terms agreed upon for transferring ownership, when the agreed upon transfer date is reached, the seller tenders (or gives) a deed to the property to the buyer who then records the deed in the county recorder’s office or the real property office of the county where the property is located
While the benefits of land contracts are many, there are some potential pitfalls to a land contract that the parties must be aware
If the buyer misses any payment under the land contract, he or she may lose the property (the right to have the deed transferred to him) and the seller may keep the money paid up to that point as rent
Thereafter, the seller would not be required to transfer the deed to the buyer
Some states have laws providing that if a buyer makes a majority of the payments under a land contract (which cover a large percentage of a purchase price of the property), the seller may not be able to keep or refuse to transfer the deed if the buyer can make payments on the contract price at a later date (known as the right of redemption)

Typically, the original contract will have a provision allowing amendment of the contract and may also set out an amendment procedure
This assignment is designed for those situations where the purchaser of residential property decides to assign all his rights and interests is

Land Contract InformationA land contract is an agreement for the sale of an interest in real estate in which the purchase price is to be paid in installments and no promissory note or mortgage is involved between the seller and the buyer
Generally under such agreements, the seller is called the vendor and the buyer is called the vendee
Buyer DefaultWhen a buyer default occurs (failure to make payment or other breach of the contract) a seller should look to the remedies provided in the land contract
It should be read carefully to determine the parties rights and obligations
Generally, a land contract will give the seller at least three remedies to pursue if a buyer has failed to meet the requirements of a land contract:
Specific performance of the land contract (If the seller does not want to regain possession of the property, then the seller may sue for the balance due under the land contract or to enforce the provision breached
);Forfeiture of the land contract; or Foreclosure on and sale of the land contract property
Generally, a seller must use the court system in order to regain possession of the property and evict a land contract buyer who has failed to meet the requirements of the land contract
Land Contract Forfeiture Seller may regain possession of land contact property by forfeiture if:
The land contract expressly provides for forfeiture and termination of the contract; and The buyer has failed to make payment of any moneys required to be paid under the land contract, or has materially breached the land contract (Example: a failure to pay real estate taxes or to keep the property insured)
Before a seller may begin the procedure to regain possession of the land contract property the seller must:
Provide the buyer with a written notice of forfeiture describing the default; and Provide the buyer with a minimum of fifteen days (or more if the land contract provides for a longer period) to correct the default
It is important that a buyer respond in writing to a notice of forfeiture even if it may have been sent by mistake
If the buyer fails to respond to the notice of forfeiture or otherwise fails to come to an agreement with the seller within the time stated in the notice, the seller may take legal action
To do this the seller must file a summons and complaint, together with a copy of the land contract, the notice of forfeiture and proof of service with the appropriate court
The court will deliver or mail to the buyer (defendant) the summons and complaint
The summons states the date and time on which the court will hold a hearing (usually called a summary proceeding)
The seller and buyer should appear at the court on the date and time state in the summons and should be prepared to state their positions to the court
At the court hearing, if the seller is successful the buyer will have a certain amount of time (90 or 180 days depending upon the amount the buyer has paid on the contract) in which to pay the missed payments and court costs and/or to correct any other material breach of the land contract
A buyer who fails to pay or correct the breach within the stated time period may be evicted in the same way a tenant is evicted from rental property
Generally, when a seller has regained possession of the property after forfeiture the buyer has no further liability under the land contract
Land Contract Foreclosure Land contract foreclosure is generally a more complicated and lengthy remedy to regain possession of the property than forfeiture
A significant difference; between forfeiture and foreclosure is that in a forfeiture a buyer may prevent the loss of the property by merely paying past due installments, while in foreclose the buyer may be required to pay the entire balance due under the land contract
In addition, in foreclosure even if the property is returned to the seller the buyer may remain liable to the seller for the portion of the balance due under the land contract which was not satisfied by the sale of the property
Seller DefaultGenerally, upon a buyer’s fulfillment of the land contract the seller should give the required deed conveying the property free of liens created by the seller
A seller who fails to provide the required deed may be in breach of the contact
If the seller is unwilling or unable to give the required deed the buyer may have various options including legal action for:
Specific performance of the land contract (including a court order directing the seller to give the required deed);Quiet title;Cancellation of the land contract (seeking the return of then money paid by the buyer in exchange for all of the buyer’s rights in the property);Money damages
Above all, both the buyer and the seller may be able to avoid problems if they talk to each other when questions or concerns arise regarding the land contact
This should not be used in place of legal assistance

Land contracts vary widely from transaction to transaction
In most cases, no grant deed is recorded
The buyer rarely obtains a new mortgage loan at the time of purchase
Instead, the new owner makes payments to an intermediary, who then makes payments on the sellers mortgage, which is still in place
Keep in mind that such an agreement usually violates the lender’s guidelines
If the lender becomes aware of a transfer of title on the property (which is why you usually don’t record the grant deed), they can exercise the “due on sale” clause of the note
This would require you to refinance the loan or sell the property
Since many who buy on land contracts have problems qualifying for a mortgage, you can see how this can lead to problems
At the same time, lenders generally only check for transfers of title if the loan becomes delinquent
Within a certain number of years, it is expected the buyer will be able to qualify for a loan
At that time, they will obtain a new mortgage and pay off whatever amount the land contract requires
Then a grant deed is recorded and full ownership is conveyed

contract for deed or “installment sale agreement”) is a contract between the owner of the real property (called the “vendor” or the “seller”) and a person who wants to buy the property (the “vendee”, “contract purchaser”, “purchaser” or “buyer”)for an agreed-upon purchase price
Under a land contract the vendor grants equitable title to the vendee (which consists of virtually all rights and benefits to the property), and the vendee agrees to pay the purchase price to the vendor over time, usually in monthly installments, by a certain date
When the full amount of the purchase price is paid, the vendor is obligated to deliver legal title to the vendee by an actual deed, and upon delivery of the deed, the vendee owns equitable and legal title to the property
Equitable title, for all intents and purposes, makes the purchaser the “owner” of the property
There are several “land contract friendly” states in the US, while other states make it extremely difficult to sell or purchase real property by means of a land contract
Michigan is a “land contract friendly” state and has a long history with land contracts
It is estimated that about 18% of all real property (residential & commercial) in Michigan transfers by way of land contract
Often a Vendor will also collect 1/12th of the estimated property tax payments with every monthly installment
The Vendor will then pay the property taxes when they become due
It is a way for the Vendor to make sure that taxes are paid and do not create a lien on the property
Closing costs, prepaid items, and other fee’s are typically a lot lower when purchasing real property through Land Contract
Most all of the costs paid at closing, directly benefit the purchaser in one way or form
The most important feature of an agreement like this is the Seller does not deliver the deed to the Buyer at closing
When the contract is fulfilled, the Seller, or Vendor, gives the Buyer, or Vendee, the deed
The widest use of an Installment Contract occurs when the Buyer does not have the full purchase price in cash or is unable to borrow it from a lender
Historically, a Conditional Sales Contract was used to sell vacant property, or land, where the Buyer put modest amounts of money down and the Seller agreed to receive the balance as installment payments
Additionally, an astute Buyer will require that a collection account be used to collect the Buyer’s payments
This is done using a neutral third party
The Seller may insist that the Buyer place one-twelfth of the annual property taxes and hazard insurance in the escrow account each month to pay for these items
The Buyer will want to record the contract to establish the Buyer’s rights to the property
If a Land Contract agreement is used for the purchase, or sale, of real estate, it should be done with the help of legal consul
When the final payment is made to the Seller (or the property refinanced through an institutional lender), title is conveyed to the Buyer
land contract noun a contract in which a purchaser of real estate, upon making an initial payment, agrees to pay the seller stipulated amounts at specified intervals until the total purchase price is paid. If you’re buying or selling land, try to finance the property through an installment purchase contract, known as a land contract
Flag Article Instructions Difficulty: Moderate Things You will Need: Legal Counsellors Purchase Agreement Tax Services Paper And Pencils Writing Pens Business Plan Software Step1Agree on a sales price for the property with financing terms that provide a designated number of payments at predetermined intervals at a specific interest rate
Step2Realize that in a land contract, the buyer receives the legal deed to the property only after the seller receives most or all of the installment payments
Step3Include a clause in the land contract that allows you to prepay the contract amount without penalties
This allows you to improve the property and pay off the loan early or at the time of resale
Step4If the seller does not agree to prepayment terms, negotiate a release clause that permits you (the buyer) to subdivide and sell lots while allowing the seller to release the land to the lot buyers and accept the money from lot sales as installment payments
Step5Review the terms of a land contract with a real estate attorney or agent before making or accepting any offers

And to quickly find a buyer, the note must meet the general buying parameters of these people, which include a solid down payment, a decent interest rate, and typical terms. Creating notes that can be sold Every buyer has their own criteria that determine what they will or won’t buy, but a down payment of at least 10% is a good minimum figure when creating a note. This upfront payment immediately creates equity in the property which acts as the buyer’s safety net in a foreclosure. A competitive interest rate is important because it will make it easy for the buyer to purchase the note and yield the desired profit without much of a discount to the note holder. Finally, keep in mind that people typically avoid notes that do not follow a traditional term (amortized over 120 months, 180 months, etc). A two-year, interest-only balloon term is a perfect example of a note that most buyers would avoid.

Of course, there are no absolute guarantees of a quick sale, but when the seller creates a note with the buyer.s needs in mind, it should not be a problem to locate an interested buyer who will give the seller the cash settlement they need.

5. What Mortgage Holders Should Know
Seller Financing to the Rescue The Problem When it comes to selling real estate, one of the most difficult and frustrating situations for sellers is when market conditions make it nearly impossible to sell at the desired price point. A high initial listing price might be because the seller simply has an unrealistic idea of how their house stacks up against the competition in the area, or because the owner needs to sell for a set minimum price in order to pay off their loan against the property. With traditional property sales methods, the only way to prevent the property from sitting on the market indefinitely is to keep dropping the price. Unfortunately, this technique doesn't always work - especially if the seller is unwilling to "discount" their house by much. In areas flooded with homes for sale, reducing the asking price slightly will not bring the desired result. In fact, it's common that the property will continue to sit on the market without offers, alongside the multitude of other unsold properties with similarly reduced prices. Anyone experienced in sales understands that making your product stand out from the crowd is a critical technique for success. But if there's too much competition offering the same attributes, the only logical way to attract the attention of serious buyers is to drop the price so that your property is a much better value than the competition. In cases where the seller is too inflexible with their asking price, this is not a practical solution. Without an alternative strategy, the seller is forced to keep the house on the market for an extended period of time with an unrealistic asking price, hoping for the right buyer to come along. And as you know, that "Mr./Mrs. Right" might NEVER materialize! The Seller Finance Solution Property sellers who want to both obtain their desired price and close on the deal quickly should consider seller financing. Seller financing is a powerful tool to remedy real estate situations that otherwise look grim. Many home sellers (and their real estate agents) do not see seller financing as a viable option. In actuality, seller financing can bring new attention to the listing and invite a different group of potential buyers - thereby opening up a unique, untapped market. A large percentage of people throughout the country cannot get approved for bank funding to buy real estate because of their credit situation. Many of these people are still in the market to buy a house, however. The "credit-challenged" are often frustrated with the limitations of apartment living or being renters; as a result, many are willing to pay a higher price just for a chance to get seller financing and improve their quality of life. A savvy property seller who recognizes this opportunity can salvage an unfavorable situation and turn it into a bonafide seller's market. By using this type of creative financing, the seller could actually end up getting more than the original asking price - without resorting to the questionable strategy of patiently waiting for the "right buyer". Seller finance can enable homeowners to receive a favorable selling price despite bad market conditions. In addition, the real estate agent (if any) gets to close a deal and move on to other sales, while a home buyer with poor credit is able to become a home owner. It's one of those rare situations where everyone at the negotiating table gets what they want. Paper Tigers Many home sellers never consider seller financing because they don't understand the benefits. There are also common misconceptions that it's much too complicated to attempt to orchestrate a seller financed deal, or that there are no buyers willing to sign a private note. Once a property seller takes the time to learn about the basic process, the advantages of offering financing instead of a lower price to sell their property become very clear. Plus, a little education about seller finance will make it apparent that drafting a secured private note is actually a very straightforward process. The bottom line is seller financing can enable a home owner to "have their cake and eat it too" - i.e., sell at the desired price, close the deal quickly, and even receive additional income from interest payments as well.

8. Strategies for selling Cash Flow Notes
Strategies For Strong Selling Of Cash Flow Note

Strategies for Strong Selling Of Cash Notes

Strategies for Strong Resale
When property sellers need to receive as much cash as possible immediately for the down payment on their next house, it is critical to anticipate this need in order to use seller financing to their advantage.
Getting top dollar for a note
In a typical seller-financed closing, the seller only receives cash from the down payment at the time of sale. This amount could be used to pay the real estate agent and put the remainder toward their own down payment on another house, but in many cases, the amount received is not enough. In addition, sellers who uses private financing to close the sale will not get the full amount financed when the note is sold.
Most sellers need as much money as possible when they "cash out" their newly created note, so their objective is to sell the note at the lowest discount possible. And to do this, they will need to create a secured cash flow that is attractive to note buyers.
Note pricing factors
The size of the discount - i.e., the difference between the purchase price and the remaining balance - depends largely on factors such as the specifics about the payer, the property/price, and the note terms. If the note is created without these important criteria in mind, the seller may have a difficult time finding a buyer to pay the amount that the homeowner needs.
The Payer

Clearly, there isn't much the seller can do about the "quality" of the payer because most people interested in accepting seller financing are higher-risk borrowers. Still, if there is more than one party interested in buying their property, sellers offering financing can still discriminate based on credit history or the amount of the down payment offered.
The Property/Price
Similarly, the seller can't change the basic facts about their property - where it's located, the type of structure, or its age or condition. But, the seller can control the price they set for their property.
Most sellers have a specific amount in mind that they need to get out of a sale. In traditional real estate sales, getting that money usually is determined by the property's price. But with seller financing, there is another step that is taken before the seller ends up with the total amount of money they were looking for - the note must be sold.
Since private notes are typically sold at a discount, the seller must set their price higher than the amount they were looking for to compensate for the drop that will come with the buyer's offer. By setting the price slightly higher than market value, the seller can create a note that sells with a minimal discount. Individuals that don't qualify for conventional funding are motivated to buy real estate, even if the price is somewhat higher than market value.
Increasing the sales price and the implied value of the property will not actually affect the buyer's discount, but the adjustment could lead to more money in the seller's pocket.
A higher sale price means a note with a larger unpaid balance, which could still bring the seller the desired net amount after discounting. Keep in mind that higher sale prices can also lead to larger down payments (as a set percentage of the price), resulting in more money in the seller's pocket.

The Note Terms
The most important thing for sellers to do is to structure their note so that the buyers won.t be forced to incorporate a deep discount into their offers. From the buyer.s point of view, higher interest rates and shorter terms are preferred. The actual offer made is based on the yield the buyer is looking for; in general, higher yields are associated with riskier notes. The discount is directly related to the difference between the interest rate on the note and the buyer.s desired yield.
While sellers can.t know exactly what a buyer.s required yield will be, the seller can certainly create a note that could minimize the expected discount. Generally, buyers will want to receive a yield anywhere between 12% and 20% on a note. While yield parameters will fluctuate with the market, a 10% yield is typically the lowest they will accept for new notes.
A note creation example

Because buyers usually want to earn a yield above 12%, creating a note with an interest rate under 10% would automatically mean a steep discount when the note is sold.
For example, creating a cash flow with a 3% interest rate doesn.t make any sense if the seller needs to get top dollar for their note, because there is already a seven-point difference between the interest rate and the buyer's desired yield. In addition, most buyers will create a gap in their favor by yielding at least one point more than the interest rate.
Sellers can also avoid unnecessary discounts by reducing the terms of their notes. Another part of a buyer's discount is based on the time-value of money principle, meaning that notes that take longer to be paid off will usually be discounted accordingly. An ideal term for a private secured note is between five to ten years (60 to 120 months).
Conversely, it isn't a good idea to shorten the term down to two years or less because a foreclosure situation will be created - the monthly payment will likely be too steep for the payer to keep up with for long.
By keeping the eventual note buyer's criteria in mind when creating a private note, property sellers can ensure that their real estate note deal works out the best for them. and that they net the highest amount possible when a cash settlement is reached.
