Our Services

Investors with capital to lend have never had a better opportunity to capitalize on yields available through private real estate equity financing.
Borrower's Challenge
  • The mortgage-induced credit crisis has caused most lending programs to vanish, leaving less and often onerous options available to borrowers.
  • Property values have dropped significantly with further downside risk.
  • Today’s challenging economy has led many owners of quality real estate to tap the remaining equity in their properties for capital requirements.
Investor's Challenge
  • Equity markets have been severely rattled.
  • Bond markets have been shaken and the appearance of safety lifted.
  • Residential and commercial property owners have lost significant portions of their equity.
  • Aggressive interest rate cuts have left current income yields at historical lows.
The Collateral Group Solution


As a private equity lender, we are positioned to:
  • Capitalize on the dislocation in the credit markets.
  • Provide a source of capital in a vacuum of credit.
  • Fill the tremendous void left by traditional bank financing.
  • Offer an alternative investment solution with a consistent source of high current income.


Why consider private equity lending today?
  • Property appraisal are based on today's value not the market peak.
  • Loan-to-Value (LTV) ratios are very conservative at a 65% maximum vs. 75-80% over the last several years.
  • We primarily secure first-position loans vs. second and third position.
  • We are able to provide more attractive yields (generally 9% and above) to our investors with relatively stronger protective equity positions.
  • We favor short to medium term loans of 1-5 years with an average loan duration of 18-36 months.


Private real estate financing effectively fills a glaring need in the lending marketplace. Conservatively underwritten first-position trust deeds provide borrowers locked out of traditional loan programs access to much needed capital and investors the chance to earn some of the highest current yields available.
