Trust Deed investing is the loaning of money with real estate as collateral. In California, most loans against Real Estate are called “Trust Deeds,” after the name of the legal instrument used to pledge their security. With expert guidance from The Alliance Portfolio, anyone can successfully invest in trust deeds. This contrasts with most other investments where extensive study and years of experience may be necessary before you can invest with confidence. Trust Deeds are safer than most other investments of comparable yield because the risks are identifiable, as well as the procedures necessary to counter them. Many investors, especially retired people, also enjoy the relatively minor effort needed to manage the investment once their money is in place.

The typical trust deed investor is a person looking for a competitive return on their investment. The interest rate the borrower pays is generally higher than the borrower would pay at a bank. The investor in turn, receives a higher return on his investment. Additionally, the money you loan is secured by the borrowers’ equity in their real estate. The security, the good return, plus the monthly cash flow, make trust deeds and excellent investment vehicle.
