Diversify with Deeds of Trust
Are you willing to try new ways to expand your investment interests? Or, are you more comfortable sticking with the ol' familiar strategies? This week, I examine an alternative investment vehicle--a deed of trust--that could add some diversity to your portfolio.
This is the age of information--we are inundated with more information about investing than any non-professional investor would ever need. Tips these days tend to focus on high rolling technology stocks and mutual funds that offer advantages such as diversification and professional management. But has our investment focus become too narrow? Have we forgotten about alternative investment vehicles? Why not try a deed of trust?
Dear Jeff:
I'm interested in investing in residential Second Trust Deeds in California. Are they still a viable investment? If so, who can I contact to find out more about them and where to invest? Thanks for your advice. tomjacki
Do Your Homework
I admit I was not familiar with Deeds of Trust as investment vehicles prior to this question from ThirdAge member tomjacki. What are they and how do they work? I researched the subject thoroughly to address these questions and examine the risks associated with them.
Remember: Always research your investments carefully--understand the risks. For property investments, work with a professional advisor, a mortgage loan broker, or a real estate agent.
