How safe is it to invest with you?
It's important to take note that all investments are inherently risky. Nevertheless, unlike other investment options, trust deed investing is a unique program that allows the private lender to own a real estate via a first trust deed, which in turn ensures safe investment secured by real estate. As an investor in the fund, you will personally own a fraction of every deal the fund invests in. All the deals will be secured by at least 40% equity stake in a particular property.
How often do you make distributions?
Dividends are distributed monthly.
Do you offer distribution reinvestment?
