Investing in distressed mortgages can be a way to achieve consistent monthly income.It requires experience, discipline, and hard work.
Our fund’s performance is not tied to the stock or bond markets. Further, we’re not even tied to national or real-estate prices. Rather, we are tied to the homeowner’s ability to make their monthly payment—and that is where our extensive due diligence comes in.
What if home prices go down?
Market forces on home values rarely influence our monthly distributions. After our thorough diligence, we purchase mortgage notes at 40-60% discounts providing a cushion on top of the equity already in the home from the down payment and monthly payments before the mortgage went past due. This also places us in a position to negotiate a new monthly payment, since we purchased the note at such a good price. This enables most families to get back on track. After all, this is the home they purchased, not a rental, making them highly motivated to stay on track.
“I replaced all of my bond funds investing with 7e. My returns are improved, my risk level is reduced, and I know we aren’t evicting people who stumbled and genuinely can and want to pay their mortgage and own their home.”

7e Investments
8-10%
Our entire process focuses on finding a way to help homeowners pay their mortgages. You can feel good about your 8% return because it comes not from removing people from their homes and selling them (except when that is best for all parties or when modifications cannot be agreed to), but giving them another chance, which we believe most deserve.
Our first obligation is to our shareholders and there are occasions where leaving people in their home is the worst-case scenario for them as well as us. When there is not a high probability of repayment, even on a workout, foreclosure and sale of the home is frequently the most efficient route for all parties.
Investing in distressed real-estate loans involves working with borrowers that have stopped making payments. At 7e, we have a disciplined investment process that minimizes risk and magnifies the chances for successful outcomes.
For example, if an investor purchases 2,500 of the first 7,500,000 shares sold, they will receive an additional 100 Bonus Shares of Class A Preferred Stock that are identical in form and substance to, and shall not be differentiated from, the Class A Preferred Stock. Because you’ll earn 8% on both your initial purchase and the bonus shares, these additional shares have the potential to boost your dividend income to over 10%.
It’s not an asset class you can easily scale, so larger asset managers tend to stay away. Consider that investing in a $200,000 loan takes the same effort and cost as investing in a $2 million loan.
7e Investments has a proven record for success in this challenging sector of the real-estate market, including:
Over 500 deals managed
Decades of combined real-estate experience
Consistent deals across multiple regions including the Rustbelt/Midwest
As of September 30, 2022, 100% of the notes in our latest fund have achieved a positive resolution
We have a team of seasoned professionals to help us drive results quickly. This includes:
Attorneys that specialize in real estate and can navigate the ever-changing laws that govern each state.
State Licensed servicers who are trained in borrower communication and act as the point person when it comes to loan modification.
Real Estate specific CPAs and accountants with an understanding of the various tax ramifications of buying, owning, and selling mortgage notes which is helping us scale the portfolio faster.
This investment is good for self-directed IRAs and not subject to UBIT, please consult your tax professional for personalized advice.

7e Investments is a mortgage note fund.
We invest in single-family loans in which the borrower is late or delinquent in making payments. Often, they stop making payments because of a temporary problem—a job loss, an illness, or the death of the spouse—and it takes a thorough understanding of their situation and prospects to determine if they can get back on track.
We buy these loans at a steep discount, typically 40–60%, so we often have the flexibility to adjust payments to a level that borrowers can afford. We create win-win situations, structuring deals that allow the borrowers to stay in their homes wherever possible: while also making interest and principal payments.
Since we invest in a limited number of these loans, we are able to thoroughly investigate the borrower’s context and financial situation, creating a three-dimensional picture of the mortgage note. We know a lot about which borrowers are likely to make things right and which borrowers will continue to shirk their responsibilities. We invest in the first type and avoid the second.
We make every effort to reach an agreement with the borrower. In the unusual cases where that’s not possible, we take over the property, fix it up and sell it, often at a profit*.

Earn 8-10% while aiding a family to reset their monthly mortgage payment and stay in their home.
Homeowners go into default for all kinds of reasons; some lose a job, others become ill, or are struggling with the death of a family member. At 7e, we know how to evaluate borrowers, finding the ones that are most likely to get back on track, and structuring payment plans that work.
Ideally, the homeowner stays in the home and pays the renegotiated mortgage. The whole community benefits from fewer vacant, deteriorating homes, and our investors receive 8% annualized monthly distributions by making a real impact investment.
If you’d like to do well by doing good, consider 7e Investments. We provide you monthly income and a way to make a positive impact.
