Risk Management in Private Lending
How We Protect Your Investment
Real Estate Collateral
Every loan is secured by tangible real estate assets. If a borrower defaults, the property can be sold to recover investor capital, providing a safety net that unsecured investments don’t offer.
Conservative LTV Ratios
We maintain loan-to-value ratios typically between 65-75%, creating an equity cushion that protects against market fluctuations and ensures adequate coverage even in downturns.
Rigorous Due Diligence
Portfolio Diversification
Understanding the Risks
Default Risk
Borrowers may fail to repay loans as agreed. While collateral provides protection, foreclosure processes take time and may not fully recover all invested capital.
- Mitigation: Thorough borrower vetting and conservative LTV ratios
Market Risk
Real estate values can decline due to economic conditions, affecting collateral value. A significant market downturn could impact recovery amounts in default scenarios.
- Mitigation: Conservative LTV creates equity buffer against value drops
Liquidity Risk
Private notes are not traded on exchanges and cannot be easily sold. Your capital is committed for the loan term, typically 6-24 months.
- Mitigation: Short-term loans and clear term expectations upfront
Interest Rate Risk
Rising interest rates could make existing fixed-rate notes less attractive compared to new opportunities, though principal remains protected.
- Mitigation: Short loan terms allow reinvestment at current rates
