Why Trust Deed Investments Are a Great Deal

Investment opportunities are everywhere, but there are some that aren’t as crowded as others. One of the best ones is trust deed investment. Here we’ll talk about what they are and how they can benefit your bottom line.

With investing, everyone is looking for the same thing — a way to use your money to passively make more money. There are tons of ways to do this. Banks will give you a percentage in exchange for docking your hard-earned cash with them. The return is miniscule, but so is the risk.

You can put your money into stocks. This way, your fortunes are tied to a company’s (or companies) performance. It’s a gamble: it could pay off big if you sell at the right time, but you can also lose everything just as quickly. Smart investing can mitigate the risk, but only to a degree.

What is a Trust Deed Investment?

Trust deed investing has been around for a long time, but it’s still a bit under the radar. Here’s how it works in the most basic sense — you take your money and lend it to a borrower who buys real estate and offers the deed as collateral. You get payments with interest every month. Or, if the borrower fails to pay, you get the property. Think of it this way: you’re the bank.

You’re probably already seeing the advantages, but here’s why this type of investing can be a good idea for some investors:

You are always in control.
You get a healthy interest rate from the borrower; usually anywhere from 10% to 29%
You’re investing in a real, physical property, not something intangible.
You collect your payments at a regular interval (i.e. monthly).
The borrower puts up collateral, ensuring that you can’t lose everything.
Properties are insured by hazard insurance, meaning acts of God, like natural disasters, can happen and your investment is still safe.
Encumbrances, defects and leins aren’t an issue because everything is covered by a title policy.
