What Does It Take In Trust Deed Investing?

By Leanne Goff


Trust deed investing has drawn interest from different quarters forming a topic of discussion in many financial markets. Although considered new, it has been in existence for quite some time just like the ordinary mortgage investment. The difference in fact has to do with the parties involved. In trust deed, there is a third party in form of a trustee in addition to the lender and borrower who are the primary participants in the traditional mortgages. The trustee holds the property deed as security in behalf of the lender.

An investor can either choose to directly make a loan or promissory note has already been issued. A document referred to as a deed of trust is the legal evidence that is used to show the existence of a loan and the property against which it is held. It has to be signed by a borrower and publicly recorded for it to be legally binding.

A promissory note is the document that indicates the promise by the borrower to repay the loan in accordance to the terms of agreement. In this document, such details as the interest rate, principal amount, the date of maturity, the frequencies of payments and remedies such as penalties the lender can resort to in case of a default are outlined.

The process of trust deed investment is easy with beginners finding it highly attractive. This has to do with the straight forward investment steps followed and the low risk associated with it. A prospective lender (investor) starts by selecting the best option from the available investments listed on the Browse Note section online. A simple form is then filled by the investor as an expression of interest.

Given that and investor has an opportunity to diversify with both the long and short term loans, it is possible to suit the investment strategies desired without necessarily increasing the risks as each of the investment opportunity is analyzed individually. The whole process basically provides fun in the investing with no hassle for either the beginner or the masters.

A package for each of the chosen option will be then sent to the prospective investor for analysis and signing before the same is sent back to the Superior in charge. A public recording can then be done following the closing of all the transactions. In this step, all the parties get hold of copies of all the related documents such as the copies of the deed of trust, promissory note, insurance certificate and security title copy. The payment of first installment is done on the first month or as required by the terms of payment. The investor can access and view the portfolio as wished from this point.

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.

Trust deed investing is known to yield high returns with up to two figure digits rates recorded by some investors. The majority investors however continue reaping from high single digit returns. This perhaps with the fact that these investments have very low underlying risks explains why they are quickly gaining popularity in the financial market. Their low liquidity level remains the major setback as investors have no quick method of recovering their cash at any time as they may wish.
