Just like any other investment in real estate, trust deed investing too requires collateral in form of a property. This process however involves three parties including the lender, borrower and a trustee unlike the traditional mortgages where only the borrower and lender are involved. It is the trustee who has the custody of the property till either the borrower completes the payment or defaults the payment. The property is returned to the owner in the former or sold and investor paid in the latter case.

With this investment, an individual has an opportunity to either buy a promissory note already issued or start from scratch. In either ways, a deed of trust is the formal document that shows the loan existence.

A promissory note is the document that indicates the promise by the borrower to repay the loan in accordance to the terms of agreement. In this document, such details as the interest rate, principal amount, the date of maturity, the frequencies of payments and remedies such as penalties the lender can resort to in case of a default are outlined.
