All notes are not profitable. A note is a promissory agreement between a buyer of goods sold and a lender (owner of said assets) The seller is agreeing to take payments in lieu of lump sum cash. He/she may or may not charge interest. What makes a note profitable to an investor is that a note holder may sell the note at a significant discount which increases the effective yield (interest) rate on the note. If the payor pays the note off early, it increases the yield.
Hope this helps.
