Why invest in the Olympia Mortgage Fund, LLC? |
| A. |
The short answer is that it's safer than investing in just one trust deed.Instead of investing in a single trust deed on one property with one borrower, the OMF, LLC will allow investors to own an undivided interest in a diversified portfolio of first trust deed loans. You will be investing in many different properties in various markets, with multiple borrowers, much like a mutual fund holds a basket of stocks. In particular, if a loan defaults, the impact to an investor is significantly minimized.
