I am a fan of yield BUT 21% in this climate other than interest only and VERY short term use of funds makes me think someone is up to something. Make sure to get the borrowers social security # and call them. I ALWAYS VERIFY I HAVE A REAL BORROWER AND CREDIT REPORT

You nailed it when you said Arizona.

There’s a program here (forget the actual name), where you “invest” in trust deeds… deeds secured by “real” real estate.

It returns 13%-18% annually depending upon who’s behind it.

The “program” is used by developers to fund their projects, from the “investors” money.

The investor of course is the smarter-than-average Joe, who wants a better return and a more stable investment than the stock market or cd’s.
