Has anyone earned a good return investing in trust deeds?

Question

I'm takling about real estate trust deeds. Are they profitable? Any one have any experience with these investments?

Answer 1

"Trust deeds" can be profitable, but as with all "high yield" instruments, they can also be very, very risky. If a property owner files for bankruptcy, for instance, and the foreclosure process is stalled, you may incur significant additional legal costs getting the Court to release the property from the bankruptcy so it can be foreclosed own.

People do make money in trust deeds, but many more lose money because they don't really know what they are doing!

The smartest way to earn money is doing something you FULLY understand...
