At Mortgage Backed Investments, we prioritise the security and protection of our investors’ funds. Here’s how we effectively manage risk:

  1. Low Loan-to-Value Ratio (LVR): We maintain a conservative approach by offering loans with a low LVR. This means that the amount we lend is a smaller percentage of the property’s appraised value, providing a greater margin of safety for our investors.
  2. Carefully selected property development funding: We meticulously evaluate and select property development projects that demonstrate strong potential for value appreciation. Our experienced team conducts thorough assessments and due diligence to ensure that the projects align with our stringent criteria.
  3. First mortgages over real property: As part of our risk management strategy, we secure our investments with first mortgages over real property. This security position gives us a legal claim over the property, providing an additional layer of protection for our investors.
  4. Rigorous risk management measures: We employ stringent risk management practices to safeguard investors’ funds. Our comprehensive approach includes thorough assessments, diligent evaluation, and proactive measures throughout the investment process. MBI invests alongside you, sharing the risk and aligning our interests with yours. This ensures that we have a vested interest in the success of the investment.
