Should You Sell Your Defaulted Notes? Process, Pricing & Insights - #310

As a private lender, the big question eventually comes up: does it ever make sense to sell a defaulted note? The answer… it depends. In this episode of the Private Lenders Podcast, Chris and Jason break down the real strategy behind selling non-performing notes (NPNs), who buys them, when it's worth considering—and when it's better to ride it out yourself.

If you're a private lender navigating late payments, defaults, foreclosure timelines, capital deployment, or debt fund pressure, this conversation will save you time, money, and headaches.

• When selling a defaulted note actually makes financial sense

• Pricing, payoff scenarios & real-life examples

• Interested vs. third-party note buyers

• How second lienholders + business partners become natural buyers

• Structuring profitable exits without giving away equity

• Why month 2–4 of default can be the sweet spot for selling

• What note buyers look for—and what makes them walk

• Why early defaults may cure, and late defaults become too expensive

• How debt funds think about capital vs. time in non-performing assets

• Due diligence and legal considerations when transferring a note

Not every defaulted loan belongs on your balance sheet forever. If the numbers work, the buyer is motivated, and you're ready to redeploy capital—selling a non-performing note can be a win-win… but only in the right circumstances.
