Is the payment of accrued interest negotiable between the buyer and seller?
Yes, the payment of accrued interest is negotiable between the buyer and seller. The terms of the note sale, including the payment of accrued interest, are typically outlined in a purchase agreement or contract between the parties. It is important for both parties to carefully review and negotiate these terms before entering into the transaction.

How is accrued interest calculated?
The calculation of accrued interest on a promissory note depends on the terms of the note, including the interest rate and the payment schedule. Generally, accrued interest is calculated by multiplying the principal amount of the note by the interest rate and the fraction of a year that has elapsed since the last payment date.

Why does the seller of a note require the buyer to pay accrued interest?
The seller of a note is entitled to receive interest on the note up until the date of the sale. When a note is sold, the buyer is essentially taking over the right to receive future payments of principal and interest. Therefore, the buyer must compensate the seller for the interest that has accrued on the note up to the date of the sale.

Why does the buyer of a note have to pay accrued interest to the seller?
Even if the buyer receives the full payment on the next payment date, the seller is entitled to receive interest on the note up until the date of the sale. The buyer is essentially receiving the benefit of the interest that has accrued up to the date of the sale, so they must compensate the seller for this amount.

What is a BPDN?
Borrower Payment Dependent Notes (BPDNs) streamline and simplify the process of dividing a loan up among a number of investors. Each investor receives a series of BPDNs in the amount that corresponds to the dollar amount they invested in that specific loan. Raiseli collects borrower payments and returns to investors the principal and interest payments on each BPDN in an amount that corresponds to the notes pro rata share of the loan, less a servicing fee. Each Borrower Payment Dependent Note is tied to the performance of a specific real estate loan. The performance of the BPDN is tied directly to the performance of the corresponding collateral lien.

How do I complete vesting instructions
Vesting is the legal name or “title” by which you want your investment to be held. “John M. and Mary J. Smith” is an example of vesting for a joint account or ‘The Jones Family Trust” is an example for a trust account. The vesting instructions or legal “title” for your note is important since “how” you hold title to your investment can have significant tax consequences. Determining in advance how you want your note to be “vested” or whose name will be on the “title” will help you decide what type of account is best used to achieve your objective.

Must I link a bank account?
Yes, transfers to and from your Raiseli account are handled electronically. It’s quicker, safer and more cost-effective than paper checks. For your security, only you can initiate “add” or “withdraw” funds in your account. Only you have access. Important: For additional security, the linked bank account needs to match the Raiseli account. For example, if you create a trust account on Raiseli called “The Jones Family Trust,” then subsequent withdrawals are only sent to a bank account likewise titled “The Jones Family Trust.”

Can I split my note to sell or re-assign a portion of it?
Yes, say you invested $100,000 in a project and hold 1 note in your name for $100,000. Later, you decide you would like to reassign the note to your two children, or alternatively, you may decide to divest of ½ of the face value of the note in a sale to a 3rd party. Either way, you can split your note by 2 or 4 equal increments. Your $100,000 note would become four (4) $25,000 notes or two (2) $50,000 notes. Call your Raiseli investor concierge, and they will facilitate a note split on your behalf. A note cannot be split to less than $1000 of face value, and an administrative split-fee will apply.
