Discounted Note Opportunity

I ran across an opportunity that could be lucrative, but all the planets would need to align, etc. It's for a discounted note. Here are the details:

Initial Amount: $120,000
Interest Rate: 6.5%
Term (Months): 60
Monthly Payment: $2,374.94

There are stil 15-16 payments left on the note, so an opportunity to gross almost $38,000. I am thinking of offering $15,000 for the note, but not sure if that will be enough. If so, the ROI could be enormous - especially, if I can get one of those short-term, no interest, credit cards, which I could essentially use for a interest-free loan. Even if I can't go that route, the worst I could do is take out a loan against my 401k, which would still make things attractive. Assuming I can buy the note for $15,000, and the remaining term is 15 months, I can get a 401k loan for one year and pay about $1,317/month. So, I'd be cash flowing to the tune of $1,058/mo for 12 months and $2,375/mo for the last 3 months, for a total of over $19,800 in net profit for 15 months. There would still be some other fees associated with acquiring the note, but I could pay for that out-of-pocket. Even if the out-of-pocket expenses are upwards of $5,000, I'd still have an annualized ROI of 271%.

Again, I hesitate to even talk about the opportunity as there are a lot of things that need to happen in a precise way for all this to work. The first thing is to do more due diligence to make sure everything is correct.

Have there been any late payments on the note? What's the collateral?

Hey Shaun - No, all payments are current per the description. The description also says "The collateral is [address]." I did some research and the collateral consists of a night club and several lots.

WTF - Will check it out.
