Earn More with Steady Income

 Just as lighthouses lead ships to safety, Fleetwood will lead you towards safe real estate investments.

Two Ways to Passively Invest in Real Estate

You can earn interest as a private money lender or distributions as an investor in apartment buildings to grow your wealth. Your investment is backed by physical real estate as collateral and you’ll never have to deal with tenants, toilets or termites.

You Can Become the Bank

Private Money Lending is when regular people like you and me lend money to a proven real estate investor to buy opportunistic properties. 

The funds to close on the purchase and make renovations are secured by a promissory note and protected by property insurance. 

It’s your opportunity to earn a fixed return over a specific time period.

You Can Own an Apartment Complex

If you’re looking for a long term investment, we offer opportunities to passively invest in apartment buildings. 
 

You’ll become a part owner and have equity in a cash flowing property. You’ll also receive property appreciation, tax benefits and potential for high returns. 

How We Do It

Lender or investor commits to the property
