California Deed of Trust and Assignment of Rents is a legal document used to secure a loan for the purchase of real estate. It is a three-party agreement between the borrower (trust or), the lender (beneficiary), and the trustee. The trustee holds title to the property in trust for the benefit of the lender, and the deed of trust serves as collateral for the loan. The assignment of rents provides the lender with the right to collect rent payments if the borrower defaults on the loan. The deed of trust also includes provisions for foreclosure if the borrower fails to pay the loan. There are three types of California Deed of Trust and Assignment of Rents: 1. Standard Deed of Trust and Assignment of Rents: This is the most commonly used type of deed of trust and is used when the borrower is buying a primary residence. 2. Commercial Deed of Trust and Assignment of Rents: This type of deed of trust is used when the borrower is buying a commercial property. 3. Construction Deed of Trust and Assignment of Rents: This type of deed of trust is used when the borrower is taking out a loan to build a property.
