Distressed Auto Loans

While acquiring and servicing these notes will be similar to buying other loans, the repossession processes will be quite different.

When someone buys a car, they give the lender give the lender a security interest in the vehicle. Having a security interest generally means the lender can repossess the car without prior notice if the loan is in default. Taking possession of a car is less complicated and much quicker than property foreclosure.

Like with other notes, you do have options. You could buy the note and start collecting payments, or repossess the vehicle and resell it. While every state has different rules regarding repossession, a loan in default is usually enough cause to take possession of the vehicle.
