Direct Trust Deed Investment

You Select the Deal. You Own the Note. You Hold the Lien.

Invest directly in whole-note, first trust deed positions secured by California real property. No blind pools, no fund fees — individual deal selection with full transparency.

CDF originates and services the loans. You choose which to fund, earn monthly interest at 8.95–10.95%, and receive your principal back at payoff. Works with personal accounts, SDIRAs, Solo 401(k)s, trusts, and entities.

See How It Works

You Select Every Deal

No blind pools. Review individual loan opportunities and choose which to fund based on property, borrower, LTV, and terms.

First Trust Deed Position

Your name is on the recorded deed of trust — the senior lien on the property. The same security instrument a bank holds.

Monthly Interest Income

Earn 8.95–10.95% annual yields paid monthly. Passive income backed by California real property, not market performance.

No Fund Fees or Lock-ups

No management fees, no performance fees, no redemption gates. Your return is the stated rate on the note. Capital returns at maturity.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about our private money loans and first trust deed investments.

No. CDF makes business-purpose private capital loans (bridge, fix-and-flip, construction, probate, ADU construction).
