Private Mortgages: Investments
built 641 days ago
Private mortgage investments are not for everyone but they can be a solid performer for many portfolios. After yield, one of the key attractions of these investments is that they are a hands on investment that can be easily understood. You can actually touch and feel your security (the real estate) and you can predict your risk much easier than you can with other investments like stocks and income trusts. If you enjoy choosing your own investments, a private mortgage may be a good addition to your portfolio.

Investors in private mortgages must be willing to take risks. They must be willing to become involved in the investment process and must know what their tolerance to risk is. They should not simply rely on the recommendation of a lawyer, a real estate agent, or a mortgage broker when entering into a transaction. They should fully understand what they are getting involved in before they agree to invest their money in any transaction.
