In order to invest in a secured Trust Deed you normally need $50,000 or more in liquid funds.

Individuals, corporations, LLCs, retirement funds, IRAs, 401Ks, Charitable Remainder Trusts (CRTs), Foundations, and family trusts can all invest in Trust Deeds.

​

How Safe Is It?

 

All investments carry some amount of risk and you should consult with your CPA and attorney. However, Birdview Properties secures your capital by real property, which allows you more control via a physical asset (i.e. Real Estate) that can be sold or rented out. Furthermore, you receive Title Insurance, Notarized Promissory Note, Recorded Trust Deed, you are named on the Fire Insurance Policy and our Trust Deeds have 25% to 50% in equity, which serves as your safety net.

In most cases, we have already repositioned the asset into its highest and best use.

What Is the Yield?

 

The yield that our investors earn is 4% to 15%. The rate is determined based on the Loan to Value, length of the investment and is determined on a case by case basis. Yet this is disclosed up front and in writing before you invest. 

​

What Is the Loan to Value?

 

The Loan to Value (LTV) is 50% to 75%. Hence each investment has 25% to 50% in equity. Each trust deed is case specific and rates vary based on the property location, repairs needed, type of property and built-in equity.

Why Can’t I Work with a Borrower Directly & Lend Them My Money?
