Discount Mortgage Note

Here we go: I am working a deal (rehab) on a property that is held in trust for the local Lion's club. property empty, not liveable, needs 30K in repairs, empty for a year etc. etc. etc. I have an end buyer at a set price for the fixed up property with private financing so no problem there. I will be presenting a check for 40K along with the offer in the hopes that easy money will make the sale. However here is plan B and where I get out of my depth a little. If they won't accept the 40K and want more $$ I plan to pledge the following. I have access to a note as follows for $76,000 at 8.5% making the monthly payments >$584.37 It is due August 29, 2007 Is started August 29, 2002 This note is current and secured by a second on a fourplex (value $250K +-) in Salt Lake City. The holder has mentioned interest in selling it for $40,000-50,000. I would like to exchange the note for the deed to the house but.... I do not want to give them all the profits. How would I give them "partials" on the note? i.e. $60,000 worth and then I would take back the remaining $16,000 at the balloon and or sell the 16K note for say $10,000 discounted? I think this would be feasible as the payments on that portion would be just over 4K and with the ballon would make a return of +- 20K a 33% return for an investor and improve my cost basis on the property. Is this something I can do for myself? or are there people that will help structure it this way for a fee? I am trying to learn about the note business but there is so much to learn!
