Wall Street sells you the roller coaster. We sell you the ticket booth.
Most accredited investors are still watching their net worth swing 10%, 20%, sometimes 40% in a single quarter chasing yield in equities that pay 1–2% and REITs correlated to the same market they’re trying to escape.
There is a better way. As a mortgage note holder, you become the bank. You collect the principal and interest payments every month, secured by real property. No tenants. No repairs. No property tax bills. No 3 a.m. maintenance calls.
The CEO Fund lets accredited investors participate in a professionally managed portfolio of performing mortgage notes the same asset class banks build their balance sheets on.
Twelve reasons private mortgage funds outperform almost every other income asset.
Monthly cash flow
Borrower payments are collected and distributed to investors on a monthly basis.
Locked-in high yields
Preferred return classes from 6% up to 12% – well above most fixed-income alternatives.
Backed by real estate
Every note is secured by a lien on physical U.S. property. Your capital is not just paper.
Truly passive
No tenants to screen, no repairs to manage, no bookkeeping. The Fund does the work.
Uncorrelated with stocks
Cash flow from mortgage notes doesn’t move with the S&P 500 or the daily headlines.
Convertible to cash
Notes can be sold or refinanced, providing flexibility inside a professionally managed portfolio.
No tenant headaches
You’re the lender, not the landlord. Zero property management, zero vacancy risk on your end.
No repairs or renovations
The borrower owns and maintains the property. You collect the payment.
No property tax or insurance
Those obligations sit with the borrower. Your yield is not eroded by carrying costs.
IRA / 401(k) eligible
Fund units qualify for self-directed IRA and Solo 401(k) accounts – tax-advantaged compounding.
Low competition asset class
Mortgage notes remain overlooked by retail investors – a persistent institutional edge.
Optional compounding (DRIP)
Reinvest distributions to compound preferred returns instead of taking monthly checks.
Choose your class. Get paid every month.
A simple, three-step engine for monthly cash flow.
We acquire performing notes

Answers to what accredited investors ask most.
Per SEC Rule 501, an accredited investor is generally an individual with earned income exceeding $200,000 (or $300,000 with a spouse) in each of the past two years, or a net worth over $1 million excluding primary residence. Certain professional certifications also qualify.
Preferred returns are calculated and distributed monthly. You can receive distributions to your bank account or elect to reinvest them via our DRIP program for compounding.
The minimum subscription is $50,000 (10 units at $5,000 each). Additional capital contributions may be made in increments as small as $5,000 once you are an investor.
Capital is subject to a 24-month lock-in period. After that, redemptions may be requested with 60 days’ written notice and are subject to Manager approval based on Fund liquidity.
The management fee is 0.15% monthly (3% annually) of total capital invested in the Fund. The Managing Member is also eligible for reimbursement of general and administrative costs.
The DRIP allows you to automatically reinvest your monthly preferred returns back into the Fund, compounding your position over time instead of taking cash distributions.
Yes. Fund units qualify for self-directed IRA and Solo 401(k) accounts, which allows tax-advantaged compounding of your preferred returns.
All investments carry risk, including loss of principal. Mortgage note investments carry borrower default risk, real estate market risk, interest rate risk, and liquidity risk during the lock-up period. Please review the full Private Placement Memorandum before investing.
