Companies offering First Trust Deeds

[Jessica Beltz]

1. I am very interested in investing in Fractional First Trust Deeds. I am based in Northern California.

From the Internet, I signed up to receive fractional trust deeds offers, however, the interest rates they offer varies so greatly. I am wondering if anyone has been using any such companies to buy fractional first trust deeds and can "recommend" any?

The companies could be based anywhere in CA or elsewhere.

2. Are there groups or clubs in the SF Bay Area where folks interested in investing in First Trust Deeds meet often?  I have looked up Meetups and don't see any relevant ones.

Your help would be appreciated.

Thank you.
