What are you investing in?
When you choose to make an investment in a Patch of Land “project”, you are purchasing a fraction of a debt note issued by Patch of Land. The payment of that note is based on the underlying property that is being refinanced, remodeled or rehabbed. Through this investment in the debt instrument, you receive monthly interest payments based on that loan’s fixed rate, as listed on the project page. With Patch of Land, instead of purchasing an equity stake in property and taking a last-in-line mortgage position, you lend lend money to developers and take a first lien position. When the developer finishes construction or rehabilitation and sells the property, your principal is returned along with any outstanding interest.
Platform use for investors:
Upon logging into Patch of Land, and selecting a potential investment project, you will be able to access property details, view pictures, and review an investment summary. If you decide this may be a good fit, you can move forward by reviewing the detailed financials available for all potential investments. Additionally, projected distribution timetables and figures are available to help you estimate the potential payout, return, and investment horizon for your specific project.
When you are ready to move forward after reviewing the financial data, you can move on to an interactive process of borrower due diligence. We encourage you to review details regarding the borrower, their previous projects with Patch of Land, and even ask questions to the borrower and review questions your fellow-investors have asked.
If the project looks like a good fit for investment portfolio, proceed to viewing the due diligence and informative documents like appraisal and surrounding property information.
Here you will find comparable listings like Trulia or Zillow data, city data, proof of insurance, and even the actual note you would get from Patch of Land for the property, as well as additional financial information.
