Trust Deed Capital, Inc. offers Trust Deed investments to private individuals, corporations, pension plans, and self-directed IRAs.
Basically, when you invest in trust deeds you are becoming the lender. That is to say, you are making money the same way banks make money. They take your money and give you 0% to 2% on your deposits and then lend it out at a 6% to 10% rate giving them a hefty profit even after covering operating costs. And, of course, these loans are collateralized by a promissory note secured by a recorded Deed of Trust. There is certainly a reason why banks make their money lending against collateralized property and not by investing in the stock market. And, the reason is the safety in having a secured investment.
We believe that investing in well underwritten 1st trust deeds always makes sense. However, the current market place makes this investment even more attractive. Restricted lending by banks is creating greater access to high quality borrowers. Our collateral has already been through historic declines and we are only lending at 60% of today’s value. And, the interest rates available today are far better than what the banks are offering.
