The structure

What actually stands behind your capital.

You are not lending on a promise. You are lending against a specific property, in first position, with the paper recorded in the county. Four things do the work.

01

The promissory note

The borrower’s written, legally binding promise to repay a set amount at a set rate. This is the instrument you own, and the source of your monthly interest.

02

The deed of trust

Recorded against the property in the county. It is the enforcement mechanism: if the note isn’t paid, the deed of trust is what lets the loan be satisfied out of the real estate.

03

First-lien position

You are first in line. Before any junior lender, and before the owner sees a dollar of equity, proceeds from the property go to the first lien — you. Position is priority.

04

Loan-to-value — your margin of safety

A note at 65% LTV means the loan is 65% of the property’s value. The property would have to lose more than 35% of its value before your principal is mathematically at risk. Lower LTV, thicker cushion.

Our guidelines

The lines we lend inside.

Every opportunity we prepare fits one of these profiles. The discipline is in the box — first lien, conservative LTV, short term, monthly interest. We don’t chase yield by loosening the collateral.

Profile Lien Max LTV Target yield Term Minimum
Conservative First 60% 8.5% 6–12 mo $50,000
Core First 65% 9.5% 12 mo $50,000
Balanced First 70% 10.5% 12–24 mo $100,000

Guidelines describe the box we work within; specific terms are set per opportunity and disclosed in full inside the deal room. Target yields are not guaranteed. All investments involve risk, including loss of principal.

Submit a scenario

This is not a marketplace. Not crowdfunding, not a pooled fund, not a yield promise. One note, one property, one file at a time — shown to a small number of qualified investors, and only after it clears review.

Process

How capital works here.

Five stages, in order. No stage is skipped, and no file moves forward without the previous stage on paper.

  1. 01

    Scenario is reviewed

    The borrower, the purpose of the loan, and the exit — how they pay you back — are vetted before anything else is discussed. A loan without a credible exit doesn’t get written.

  2. 02

    Collateral is analyzed

    Independent valuation, lien position, title condition, and market context. The property, not the borrower’s optimism, has to carry the note — and carry it with room to spare.

  3. 03

    Note package is prepared

    Promissory note, deed of trust, title policy, insurance, and servicing agreement are drafted and assembled into one complete file — the same file you’ll read before you commit.

  4. 04

    Investor reviews the opportunity

    The full file opens in the deal room. You read the documents, see the numbers, ask questions, and decide on your own timeline. Nothing auto-invests; nothing is rushed.

  5. 05

    Servicing tracks every payment

    After funding, licensed servicing handles collections, statements, escrow of taxes and insurance, and reporting. You receive income and records — you don’t chase a borrower.

The honest part

If a borrower doesn’t pay.

Trust is built by explaining the downside plainly, before you ask about the upside. Here is exactly what stands between a missed payment and your principal.

  1. Servicing works the borrower first. Contact, cure, and default interest and late fees begin accruing — to you.
  2. The deed of trust is enforced. If it isn’t cured, first-lien position lets the collateral be sold to recover principal and accrued interest.
  3. Conservative LTV is the cushion. Lending at 60–70% of value means there is equity between your loan and the property’s worth to absorb costs and time.
  4. The risk is still real. Real estate can decline, recovery takes time, and loss of principal is possible. Collateral reduces risk; it does not remove it.

Plain English

The terms, decoded.

The vocabulary of note investing, without the mystique. If a document uses a word we haven’t explained, that’s on us.

Loan-to-value (LTV)
The loan as a percentage of the property’s value. Lower is safer — it’s the cushion before principal is at risk.
Lien position
Your place in line for repayment from the property. First lien is paid before all juniors and before owner equity.
Promissory note
The borrower’s binding promise to repay at a stated rate and term. The asset you actually own.
Deed of trust
The recorded document that ties the note to the property and allows enforcement if the note isn’t paid.
Servicing
Licensed collection of payments, escrows, statements, and reporting — so you receive income, not a second job.
Exit / takeout
How the borrower repays you: a sale, a refinance, or completed business plan. A credible exit is required.
Interest-only
The borrower pays interest monthly; the full principal is returned at payoff. It’s what keeps your income level.
Title policy
Insurance confirming the lien is valid and in the position promised, with no undisclosed claims ahead of you.
Reserve
Cash set aside — by the borrower or the structure — to cover payments or taxes if timing slips.
Seasoning
The track record of on-time payments a note has already made. More seasoning, more evidence.

The relationship

What working with us means.

We originate under license

Files are underwritten and prepared under licensed mortgage origination and servicing oversight — not resold from a borrower’s self-report.

We service, so you don’t

Collections, escrows, statements, and reporting are handled for you. Your job is to read the file and decide; ours is everything after.

We disclose in full

Collateral, LTV, lien, title, and the complete document package are open before you commit. No summary stands in for the paper.

We keep the room small

Limited opportunities, reviewed access, one file at a time. Discipline is easier to keep when the room isn’t crowded.

Who’s behind the paper

Real company. Real licenses.
A real phone number.

Private Note Capital is operated by West Coast Capital Mortgage Inc. — a licensed California mortgage company that originates and services these loans itself. You can look up the license, read the whole file, and talk to a person before you commit a single dollar. Comfort, for us, means nothing about us is hard to check.
