(Unless they have a permit/approval from regulatory authorities which is near impossible to get)We are so regulated on this, we can't even say, in our ads that trust deed investments are "safe" or "secure" or other words that may lead investors to believe that normal investment risk doesn't exist.That said, a broker could comply with all the new laws, and then if a loan went bad, could AT THAT TIME offer to buy it back from an investor.

Some ideas from others: · bank loans are not available on some types of properties · the tight lending climate has made bank financing "out of reach" for many · seller financing is an "age old" tradition based on private property rights · these rules would prohibit even partial seller financing - i.e. a "seller second" · according to HUD's "Residential Finance Survey" in 2001, roughly 40% of all non-farm residential properties in the US are owned free and clear · an estimated 6 million Americans own a property other than their own primary residence · an estimated 4.5% of Americans own three or more properties, many purchased solely as investment properties · 40% of non-owner occupied residences are mobile homes which are more difficult to sell with bank financing · approximately 5% of homes in US are for sale or for lease... seller financing may be key to liquidating this inventory The continued success of our industry as we know it is threatened by these proposed regulatory changes.
