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.
