Why Trust Deed Investing Is The Way To Go

By Leanne Goff


Just like any other investment in real estate, trust deed investing too requires collateral in form of a property. This process however involves three parties including the lender, borrower and a trustee unlike the traditional mortgages where only the borrower and lender are involved. It is the trustee who has the custody of the property till either the borrower completes the payment or defaults the payment. The property is returned to the owner in the former or sold and investor paid in the latter case.

The investor has an opportunity to either purchase existing promissory notes or make a direct investment. A deed of trust is drafted and signed by both parties to be legally binding and work as a proof of an existence of the loan.

Promissory note on the other hand is a document that details the promise by the borrower to repay the loan. It is in this document where all the terms in a particular trust deed investment will be found. Other details such as amount, interest rates, maturity date, payment frequencies and even penalties are also indicated in this document.

There are wide investment options to choose from with an opportunity to diversify with a portfolio of long term and short term investments. This makes it possible to minimize the risks while at the same time suiting the strategies of the investor.

A loan profile for each of the selected options is then sent to the investor for analysis and signing before returning the same to the Superior who is in charge of the process. After the close of all the transaction, a public recording is done. This is the stage where the investor can get hold of copies of the necessary documents such as the property deed, promissory note, deed of trust, a deposit receipt and even insurance certificate among others.

Investing in the trust deeds is a step by step easy process that begins by identification of the available opportunities. An investor will need to browse the available investments which are normally listed online on the Browse Note section. After reviewing all the available options with the accompanying details, the nest step is to book your space. Filling of a form on the investment page is all that is required.

The advantages accompanying this form of investment includes low risk level as there is a real property security and an opportunity to analyze and compare before investing. Minimal experience and attention is required and an investor can choose to diversify in the short and long term loans.

In most of the trust deed investing options, investors earn very high single digit returns with some investors boasting of up to two digit interest rates. This high returns in addition to low risk basically explains why this type of investment is quickly gaining popularity. The major setback however has to do with the liquidity of these loans. An investor has no opportunity to get back his investment at the moment he considers it necessary as there are terms of agreement to be followed to later.
