Invest Directly in First Trust Deeds

Buwalda Mortgage Services works with accredited investors to provide high quality, fully vetted trust deed investment opportunities. Unlike most private lending firms, which offer a pooled investment arrangement similar to a REIT or mutual fund, our investors choose the property and loan term they want. We follow best practices in our underwriting process, including credit checks, title reports, appraisals, income verification, and debt and liquidity analysis.

Exceptional income returns: Our investors typically net 10%/year, with consistent monthly income.

A clearly defined process: We carefully vet both the borrowers and the properties that collateralize the loan. We have over 25-years’ experience in the private lending space and a track record of absolute success for our investors.

Investors are in the driver’s seat: You hold onto your funds and only invest in offerings that you select. Your investment proceeds are always paid to/from the title company, not Buwalda Mortgage Services.

Sample Deal Sheet

2

Selection

Investors select the loan offering(s) that fit their investment parameters.

3

Transaction processing

Investor receives electronic paperwork from the title company.

4

Loan funding

Investor wires funds directly to the title company, which provides copies of all documents, deeds, etc., after the transaction has been processed and recorded.

5

Interest disbursements

Investors typically receive interest payments on the 15th of each month.

6

Loan term ends

At the end of the loan term, the borrower typically refinances out of the loan, at which point the investor receives the final interest payment and loan principal wired back to the original bank account.

7

Priority reinvestment

Investors who receive loan redemptions receive priority status on forthcoming loan offerings.

We work for you:

After a loan has been funded, we work directly with the borrower to collect and remit payments. We ensure the borrowers is current on taxes and homeowners’ insurance is in force to protect your investment. If there is an issue with loan payment, we contact and work with the borrower to collect the payment and penalties for you. In the event a borrower s unable to repay the loan as agreed, we expedite enforcement of the trust deed on your behalf.

Investor FAQs

Unlike mutual funds, REITs, MLPs, or private lending entities that pool your money (meaning you have no direct equity) you have no direct equity, you hold the first trust deed and your investment is collateralized. We do the work, but you’re in control of your money.
