It is the modern version of the oldest form of financial intermediation – willing investors lending money directly to credit worthy borrowers. The ‘market place’ where this happens is curated by Platinum Mortgage Securities, a licensed, professional operator.
We originate borrower loan applications, assess their credit worthiness, determine a fair price for the risks and then introduce approved loans to investors through our marketplace. Investors review specific loan information before electing to invest or not. We then manage all aspects of the loan until repayment.
Once your investment funds are committed to a loan they are locked in until the borrower repays. You have no right to withdraw unless, at our discretion, a substitute investor can be found, a process which is not guaranteed. If you need certain liquidity, this investment type may not be right for you.
Yes. As with all forms of lending, there is some risk that the loan will not be repaid. However, the risk to your investment funds is mitigated by the first mortgage right we have to sell the property taken as security to cover the risk of default.
While the efficiency of the marketplace for borrowers and investors is a result of the technology deployed, there will always be a team member available to help one-on-one directly.
