Private Mortgage Investing: How to Earn 12% or More on Your Savings, Investments, IRA Accounts, and Personal Equity

In recent years, stock market investing has been proven unstable and not very rewarding. In fact, many people have seen their retirement and personal holding accounts dwindle. This new book by Teri B. Clark and published by Atlantic Publishing Company provides an alternate to investors. They spent two years putting together this new guide which provides detailed information on how to put money to work in a relatively safe private mortgage investment with a high return of 12 to 15 percent (or more) in most cases.

Private mortgages have grown into a multi-billion-dollar industry. This market allows investors to earn substantially higher yields—while offering the security of real property to back the loan. Private mortgages have become an important fixed income vehicle for many investors with their personal funds, equity, and self-directed IRA accounts.

Private mortgage investing isn’t for the get-rich-quick type of person. However, you can comfortably double your money every 4 to 6 years. For example, should you invest in your self-directed IRA and re-invest as notes pay off? $100,000 at 12 percent grows to over $200,000 in six years, to $500,000 in 13 years and to over $1 million in 19 years.

Private mortgage loans are backed by real property. Generally, you would not lend more than 55 percent on the value of the property, thus the investment is again relatively safe. Instead of concentrating on the borrower’s credit history, private mortgage lenders concentrate their investment decisions on the real property itself. However, like any business or investment, there are a lot of details to learn, and you do not need to learn them on your own. Learning them on your own can be costly. In this economic environment of very low interest rates, you can still earn high yields with virtually little or no risk to your investment.

Mortgage Investing and IRAs

You can't invest in mortgages with your basic IRA; you need to open a self-directed IRA. Banks, insurance companies and brokerages will help you open a self-directed IRA, but, generally, they limit your investment options to the products they sell. To invest in mortgages you may have to find an independent administrator to serve as a trustee or custodian.
