Investors seeking a truly passive investment strategy - combined with the security provided by 
real estate assets - are likely to discover private lending using trust deeds to be an excellent investment alternative. This summary provides a brief overview of the Trust Deed investing strategy. A private lending trust deed real estate investment exists when an investor makes a loan to a borrower which is evidenced by a promissory note. The instrument used to secure the note is known as a deed of trust (i.e. trust deed) against a particular asset or real property. The deed of trust that is recorded publicly as evidence that a loan has be made against the property in the form of a lien. The deed of trust is the investor's security that requires the loan be repaid at maturity or in the event the property is sold.
The promissory note is the promise by the borrower to repay the loan made by the investor. Also signed by the borrower (i.e. business entity), this document spells out the terms of the borrower’s loan, including the amount, interest rate, payment frequency, maturity date, among other specific details.
What are the benefits of trust deed investing?
Diversification
A trust deed real estate investment strategy can provide a means to diversify one's portfolio while serving as a more stable alternative to traditional forms of investment -- such as stocks and other forms of fixed income investments.
Consistent Cash Flow
Trust deed investments offer an attractive yield on invested capital - paid to the investor - typically on a monthly (or quarterly) basis. The consistent cash flow acts as a stream of income to the investor similar to that of an annuity.
High Yield Returns
Investors often realize higher returns using trust deed real estate investments that are very favorable relative to other fixed income investment options with similar risk profiles.
Security of a Real Property
Private lenders have the peace of mind in knowing that their investment capital is secured by real property (i.e. real estate). Additionally, another layer of security is added as the investor is specifically named on the property insurance and title policy as an "additional insured".
Passive Real Estate Investing
Trust deed real estate can be the ideal approach for private investors seeking the advantages of investment real estate - both security and higher yields - but with the reduced hassle of every day property management related activities.
