Why Investors Choose Trust Deeds

  • Attractive Yields: Consistent returns that often outperform traditional fixed-income investments.
  • Security You Can See: Every investment is backed by a promissory note, recorded deed of trust, and title policy—all in your name, providing you with a tangible sense of security.
  • Passive Management: Professional loan servicers handle collections and reporting, so you can rest assured that your investment is in good hands.

Flexible Investment Options

  • Invest in whole loans or fractional interests alongside other investors as tenants in common.
  • Start with as little as $50,000 and scale up based on your goals.

Example:
A $500,000 loan might include:

  • Investor A: $100,000 (20%)
  • Investor B: $50,000 (10%)
  • Investor C: $200,000 (40%)
  • Investor D: $150,000 (30%)

Diversify for Stability

Spread your capital across multiple trust deeds to reduce risk and enhance returns.  Each loan represents a different property, and your portfolio stays balanced.

Risks You Should Know

  • Foreclosure Complexity: Fractional investors must act together if a Borrower defaults.
  • Limited Liquidity: Expect to hold your investment until the loan matures.
  • Market Risk: Property values can fluctuate, even with substantial collateral.

Best Practices for Success

  • Work with experienced brokers who understand compliance and investor protection.
  • Review disclosures carefully and know your rights as a fractional investor.
  • Diversify across multiple loans to spread risk.
  • Plan for illiquidity—invest funds you won’t need immediately.
