So, you want to be a trust deed investor and earn double digit returns?  Let's see what I can tell you about investing in trust deeds in 3-4 paragraphs.  a more detailed explanation can be found here.

A trust deed is what we call a deed of trust or mortgage in California.  When you "invest" in a trust deed, you are the bank (or the lender).  We usually get you rates of 10-14% and 1-2 points on the deal.  Most loans are short-term in nature and have a term of one to five years,  The average loan we make is paid off in less than eighteen months.  The rate and points you make usually yield you a 11-16% return on your money.  You can invest through your self-directed IRA.

Hi,

 

I am a privet investor representing a few friend investors who are looking for Trust Deed Loans to fund, or Notes to buy.

Our preference is:

 

- Single family, Land, or Multi Units in southern California, and not a fund pool.

- Max LTV is 65% for SF, and 50% for Land, 58% for MU.

- Min rate is 13% depending on the Loan.

- Investment value, from 20K to 300K, or higher.

- First, or second position.

- We can originate the loan and service it, if necessary.

 

 If you have such loans, or if you know some Brokers who have them, please contact me at my e-mail address above.

 

Thanks,

 

George Debbaneh.

Hi. 

 I'm a real estate investor of 15 years and am interested in purchasing discounted deeds of trust. My hard money loans are getting 17% and are well secured. Naturally, I'm looking at a better return on discounted paper. I'd like to see a minimum of 25%. I live in San Diego and am interested in deals within an hour drive or flight. I'm ok with 2nd positions if they're well secured. Thanks.

If you're thinking that you're better off with a trust deed fund then think again. Coast Capital in Palo Alto claims that investors can get their money out in 30 days but this it turns out is not true. Right now they have a $8M backlog of withdrawal requests and they're unable to commit to ANY date to fulfill them. This means that you lose ALL control of your money.

Those aren't trust deeds, Freddie; that's a pooled investment
