Introduction

Today there are a number of ways in which investors can invest their money.  From the stock market to savings bonds to deeds of trust, there is something for every investor looking for a way to grow their money.  While most investments are made with the same end in mind, the main difference between each investment type are the strategies and the level or risk involved.

However, although there is always some degree of risk involved when making an investment, trust deeds happen to be one of the safest investments available today, because unlike other investments, a trust deed is secured by actual property – homes, buildings and land.

Aside from the security of real property, with a trust deed investment, the other advantage is the investor receives higher than average rates of return.  This is due to the fact that borrowers are willing to pay a higher interest rate because private investors are flexible with their loans, as they are not limited by traditional rules of bank loans.  Without the constraints of such rules, private investors can provide quicker loans that do not follow the same rules as is required for traditional lending.

Furthermore, deeds of trust are safe investments because borrowers are generally a good risk to take.  The following are two excellent reasons why:

1.    The borrower could loose their property (home, land, etc.) if they fail to pay the loan.
2.    If the appropriate research has been done, the investment will have a more than sufficient loan to value (LTV) ratio.  In other words, the loan amount is exceeded by the real property value.
