How Does it Work?​
​
At LendMe, we allow our investors to invest in our trust deed offerings. A trust deed is a legal instrument used to create a security interest in real estate. Investing in trust deeds is simply investing in real estate secured loans. The trust deed serves as a legal notice to show the property being pledged as collateral to secure the loan. Should the borrower default on the loan, the trust deed allows for a more quick foreclosure process.
At LendMe, these relatively short term trust deed investments allow our investors to seek a rather attractive yield, resulting in more stable and favorable returns than other investment opportunities with a similar risk profile.

How Does the Trust Deed Investment Process Work?LendMe offers trust deed investments on non owner occupied, business purpose residential, multi-family, and commercial real estate, all secured by a recorded deed of trust. As a trust deed investor, you are in control of the deal and essentially act as a mortgage lender. LendMe serves as the underwriter/broker of the loan and fully processes the entire transaction. As an investor, you may fund the loan in its entirety, or simply a portion of it. Once a trust deed gets recorded against the property, you will be named as a beneficiary. Doing so provides you collateral to secure the borrower's obligtion under the promissory note - wherein the borrower agrees to pay a stated interest rate for the term of the loan. As an investor, you will receive monthly payments based on the agreed upon interest rate of the loan. When the loan gets paid off, you receive your principal investment back, along with any additional interest that may be owed at the time. *Feel free to view some of recently funded transactions*

-
How Do Investors Get Paid?As an investor, you will receive monthly payments based on the agreed upon interest rate of the loan. A third party, independent loan processing company services the loan and will make arragmenets for direct deposit payments to your bank account.
-
What Are The Benefits of Investing in Trust Deeds?Trust deed investing is a relatively lower risk profile investment strategy that allows investors to seek a passive approach while still gaining steady and favorable returns on their investment.
-
How is My Investment Secured?These loans are written on a promissory note, which is secured by a recorded deed of trust. In addition, borrower's are responsible for title insurance as well as hazard insurance to protect the investor's best interest.
-
What Happens if the Borrower Doesn't Perform?In the case that the borrower does not peform, the lender can foreclose on the property to recoup their invesment, along with any past-due interest. At LendMe, we avoid highly-leveraged properties, this way, we can protect our investors by giving them a more significant margin of safety in the case that the property does go through the foreclosure process.
