A receivership puts a court-appointed receiver in control of the property to stabilize and operate it — useful to protect collateral, but it adds cost, time, and continued lender involvement. A note sale exits the credit entirely for cash. They are not mutually exclusive: a lender may sell a note that is already in receivership.
A receivership is a tool to protect and stabilize collateral mid-dispute — it does not, by itself, resolve the credit. A note sale resolves it: the buyer takes the loan, the receivership, and the path forward. A lender weighing a receivership purely to manage the asset toward an eventual recovery should also price a clean sale now.
Appoint a receiver when the collateral needs immediate protection and you intend to see the resolution through. Sell the note when you would rather convert the credit to certain cash and hand off the process. Many distressed credits are sold while a receiver is in place.

Yes — a note can be sold with a receiver in place; the buyer assumes the lender's position and the ongoing process.
A receivership protects the asset during the process but does not replace it — resolution still takes time and cost, which a note sale avoids.
