Warehouse Line for Note & Mortgage Buying

Leverage $1 of equity into $4–$5 of performing-note purchases.

Overview

Specialty lenders (private funds, family offices, some regional banks) extend warehouse lines of 60–80% advance rate against pools of performing 1st-lien mortgage notes at 8–11% APR. If notes yield 10–12% net, the spread + leverage produces 15–25% equity ROE. Requires a servicing relationship and a track record; the note fund is the borrower.
