What is Mortgage Note Investing?
Mortgage note investing is a strategy where you invest in secured loans for real estate properties. These loans, or "notes," are backed by a first-position lien, giving you a priority claim on the property if the borrower defaults. With typical investment durations of 6-12 months, mortgage notes offer a short-term commitment while providing consistent returns, often ranging from 7-12%. This makes them an attractive option for those seeking secure, high-yield opportunities in real estate.
How it Works
Step 1: Fund High-Demand Real Estate Projects
With a minimum investment of $50,000, you can fund mortgage notes that drive short-term real estate projects, such as fix-and-flip renovations and bridge loans. Invest in a full or fractional note, allowing you to diversify across multiple properties and maximize your portfolio’s potential. Each project is structured with a clear exit strategy—through either property sale or refinancing—so you can expect returns within a defined timeframe.
Step 2: Enjoy Enhanced Investment Security
Your investment is protected with a first-position lien on each property, giving you top priority in the event of repayment issues. Additionally, all borrowers provide a personal guarantee, offering added assurance that your funds are secure.
Step 3: Receive Consistent, Passive Income
As borrowers make payments, you earn steady, high-yield returns through regular interest payments. With typical loan terms ranging from 6-12 months, you’ll enjoy predictable cash flow without a long-term commitment.
Step 4: Exit or Reinvest for Ongoing Growth
At the end of the loan term, your principal is returned as the borrower exits through property sale or refinancing. You can choose to reinvest in new mortgage note opportunities, allowing you to build continuous, high-yield returns with CCG’s expert guidance.

Why Real Estate-Backed Notes?
Real estate-backed notes offer a unique combination of stability and predictability, making them an attractive choice for those seeking consistent, passive income. Unlike more volatile investments, these notes are secured by tangible real estate assets, providing a strong layer of protection. With structured loan terms and defined exit strategies, such as property sales or refinancing, investors can enjoy steady returns over a predictable timeline.
This approach allows you to earn reliable income through interest payments without the typical fluctuations of traditional markets, making it an ideal addition to a balanced portfolio. The security of real estate collateral, combined with the straightforward nature of mortgage note investments, provides peace of mind and dependable growth, even in uncertain economic climates.
