Investing in notes secured by real estate is a great investment with higher than average returns. It’s not like investing in the stock market and hoping your stock goes up (or at least not down). Your capital is preserved while it earns a double-digit yield.

Diversification is the key to investing and secured notes are an important part of a diversified portfolio. Investment money can be spread among many different notes, which are secured by properties in different geographic locations. This is beneficial because the real estate market in some areas is much better than in others.

Equity Investments Group provides a great investment opportunity exclusive from other companies because we can provide some measure of liquidity. Most of our investments usually pay off in 6-12 months although some can last much longer. In addition to a short investment period we have the contacts to sell notes to other buyers and investors. This is an advantage because it gives our investors added security if an emergency arises and they need to liquidate an investment.

Trust Deed/Mortgage investments do not take a lot of money to participate in. One can invest with as little as $15,000 (In some instances there may be minimum income or net worth requirements so please contact our office to discuss this issue further). Also, our investments are compatible with Self-Directed IRA’s, Keoghs, Family Trusts, Corporations, 401K Plans, and others. The following companies, Pensco Trust, IRA Services and The Entrust Group can assist you with setting up a Self-Directed IRA
