A recent private money transaction in Lake Arrowhead highlights the strength of well-structured second-position lending when supported by significant equity. The $575,000 loan was funded in the second trust deed (2nd TD) position at a notably conservative 48.57% loan-to-value ratio, providing substantial collateral protection while delivering a strong yield profile for investors.
Lake Arrowhead, known for its desirable mountain properties and vacation-style residences, continues to attract both full-time homeowners and second-home buyers. Properties in this market can command strong values, but also require thoughtful structuring when layering additional financing especially in a second-position structure.
Second trust deed lending demands heightened attention to existing senior debt, borrower exit strategy, and property marketability. By maintaining leverage below 50% LTV, this transaction mitigates many of the typical risks associated with junior liens while still meeting the borrower’s capital needs.
