All investments vehicles come with risk and private mortgage investing is no different. It is suggested to consult with your own tax, legal and accounting advisors before engaging in any transaction. Here are the key risks to consider: Private mortgage investing is not liquid. You cannot quickly convert your investment into cash like stocks and bonds. You need to be willing to stick with your investment until maturity. Little to no capital appreciation or equity. Unlike physical property, the majority of returns comes from the interest income generated by the loan. Borrower stops making mortgage payments. If a loan goes into default, the lender has the right to start a foreclosure action and sell the property at a foreclosure sale. The proceeds will be applied to the unpaid principal, interest, and fees.

We place greater emphasis on the borrower’s use of funds, equity buffer in their real property and exit strategy. While creditworthiness is important, real estate backed loans are only as good as the loan amount against the market value of the property – also known as loan-to-value. Therefore, if you are lending against a property that is worth $500,000 and the loan amount is only $100,000, the loan-to-value (LTV) is only 20% – leaving you with 80% of the property’s value ($400,000) as protection against default.
