For entrepreneurs, one of the biggest obstacles you may come across is funding for an investment or project you are looking to acquire. It could be months or years until you can be fully funded for the venture you are interested. Luckily for you reading this, there are hundreds of option that are available to you.

Let’s face it many of us live in or near large metropolitan cities, and it can be extremely difficult trying to get money from your local bank. Crowdsourcing is one of the best ways that many people are able to receive funding for the investment that they are working on. People naturally want to be a part of something that is bigger than they are.

For example, in the say you are thinking of investing in a church that has been in a certain neighborhood for years; the community will fight to keep a piece of history open. When you are able to get the neighborhood involved with the investment it gives it a meaning deeper than making money or curb appeal.

Having friends that are willing to help you out in a pinch will always be the best option for you in the end. Take trust deed investing, for example, you are able to split the note between multiple people if you cannot cover the cost yourself. In trust deed investing you are able to divide the note with up to ten investors. In turn all in the involved receive their own percentage and they would receive a proportional amount of the monthly fees. This is called a fractionalized note.

IRAs can be used for trust deed investing also.

Luckily in California, there are a few firms that are able to help you. The percentage you have to pay is fairly low as well. Usually, it ranges from around 0.3% to 0.5%.

When you do use your IRA or another retirement account you are able to reinvest into it tax-free. Pro-tip: Trust deeds are generally classified as regular income; if you are able to use your retirement you may be free of certain taxes.
