2.1.1 Introduction to Peer-to-Peer & Private Equity Mortgage Investment & Lending

Mortgage Investing Basics: 8%? 12%? 22%? Safe - Yes, Secure - Yes, Where? How? .... Really?

Private Mortgage Investing

One excellent method of investing is to participate in the Private Mortgage Investment sector. Mortgages are essentially bond instruments that provide investors current income (monthly payments) and principal appreciation at maturity (lender discount). 

By investing in mortgage securities, you get monthly coupon payments and upon maturity of the mortgage term, the investor gets their principal returned along with any lender discount that might have been applied at the time of origination.

Better Yields and Less Risk than the Stock Market

Invest some of your surplus, accumulated wealth in mortgages and generate better annual yields - with far less risk - than the market.

As of September 30. 2015; over 10 years, S&P 500 has a NET TOTAL RETURN of 6.12%.

This is BEFORE inflation adjustment.

Mortgages are everywhere

Private mortgage investing is a worldwide practice and an excellent way to invest your money for both the short term and the long term. 

Mortgage security lasts forever, or until your money is repaid to you or you take ownership of the secured real estate

Unlike investments in non-mortgage instruments, mortgage security is registered on real estate via a land titles registry or escrow system. Your investment is secured against corresponding real estate and your interest in the property will remain until the mortgage "dies".  Death of a mortgage security investment happens by either repayment of the original principal (along with accrued interest) or, when the underlying property is sold and all registered debts (mortgages, property taxes, liens) are paid.

Mortgage security gives you full control

When you are a mortgagee registered on title, you have full control with respect to what happens with the underlying property. If the property owner is in default and the property goes into foreclosure, as a mortgagee, you have several options, namely: you can sit back and watch the proceedings from the sidelines, or you can effect your own transaction and control the process of how the asset is liquidated. For example, if the property is listed for sale due to non-payment taxes (pursuant to a super-priority interest registered by the taxation authorities), you, as the mortgagee, have the ability to choose to pay the taxes on behalf of the mortgagor. You may also simply choose to allow the property to go into foreclosure and ultimately, judicial sale (conduct of sale) -- no problem. You might also choose to negotiate with the mortgagor in order to transfer the property into your name and offer mortgagor to lease the property back, or agree to sell it. When it comes to mortgage security, you have full control and can make decisions with respect to the asset based upon what suits you.
