Mortgage Information

Mortgages As Investments

What are the Risks and Benefits?

Since the typical loan will be for 50-60% of the property value, the property "secures" the loan. Sharing the risk this way, both the lender (or investor) and the borrower have a very secure financial transaction. The lender gets a good return and the borrower has a substantial investment in his property.

As a result these private financing deals provide a good way for both lenders and borrowers to participate in the American Dream of owning a home.

DeFranco Real Estate And Mortgage (DREAM), has been specializing in this kind of financial partnership and have been very successful. Though not a common approach among traditional mortgage houses, we find that with the right level of service, we have established an excellent source of funding for the right projects.
