The difference between trust deeds and other investment types

 What is the difference between a mortgage and a deed of trust?

The following are the basic differences between a mortgage and a deed of trust:

 Only two parties are involved in a mortgage document - the lender and the borrower. 

 Three parties are involved in a trust deed – the lender, the borrower and the trustee.

 With a mortgage document foreclosure the state law will determine the foreclosure method that will take place, which can sometime involve a lengthily process.

 A deed of trust usually involves a quicker foreclosure, because the most common type of foreclosure is a non-judicial one.


The difference between investing in a deed of trust and stocks

The value of a stock fluctuate hourly, and sometimes by the minute. 

The value of a deed of trust is fixed and is always stable.

An owner of stock is in third lien position.  

The owner of a trust deed is generally first or second in regards to the lien position.

Every stock investor is charged a fee from their stock broker. 

A trust deed broker often charges investors no fees.

Stocks can be purchased and sold through brokers. 

Trust deeds, on the other hand, are purchased and sold through brokers, but can also be purchased and sold privately at no extra charge.

The security position of the stock owner is shared among thousands of other holders. 

The security position of the owner of a trust deed is not shared with anyone.

A stock is supported by conglomerate properties and equipment that are often from foreign countries (ex. warehouses, factories, port facilities, mills, ships, etc.). 

Deeds of trust are only collateralized by real estate that occurs within the U.S., and usually by homes that are within the local area of the investor.

A stock is a gamble. 

A trust deed is an investment

Although it is evident that there are many differences between trust deeds and other types of investments, one thing is for certain – a trust deed is an investment opportunity that offers you a high return with less risk.
