In contrast to Mutual Fund and the Stock markets, private mortgages offer the investor a set monthly return at a predetermined rate. Mutual Funds and Stocks naturally fluctuate based on their market valuation and can even result in erosion of the principle. Private mortgages on the other hand offer security in a variety of ways.

Regardless of whether the mortgager is the seller or a third party, the private mortgage is a negotiable instrument that can be bought and sold. The mortgage holder may choose at a later date to sell the mortgage to another investor at a discount, in order to receive a single lump-sum payment instead of monthly payments. In many cases, a private mortgage has a "balloon" clause, which requires the buyer to either pay off the private mortgage, or convert it to a conventional mortgage.
