San Francisco Money Show a success

Our time at San Francisco was highly productive, and I am pleased to announce that Quest Investments has made many valuable contacts that will enable us to further expand our family of investors. We are a great and unique investment vehicle because of our intelligent, thorough, and conservative approach. I am gratified to be able to educate investors on the superior returns that they can earn with us, and would like to take this moment to extend a warm welcome to all of our contacts from the Money Show.

I first became involved in the real estate industry in 1977. I later established Mark 1 Mortgage Corporation in 1981, which quickly flourished by becoming one of the leading mortgage services providers in Southern California. As a broker and owner of real estate and mortgage companies, every year I saw us assisting thousands of customers with various lending needs. On numerous occasions we would run into borrowers in need of a loan that traditional lenders would not approve of, although they were good and safe loans. Eventually I began to offer these loans to help our customer meet their needs and the return on these loans have been excellent. When I shared my success with my colleagues and friends, they would want to participate, but until now I was unable to allow their participation due to regulatory requirements.

I formed Quest Mortgage Fund LLC when we received our approval from the Department of Corporations to allow investors to participate in the prosperity of our mortgage fund. Our mission is to make sure that your investment is getting the treatment it deserves: maximization of return and minimization of risk.

We are currently witnessing an exciting and highly lucrative opportunity in today’s economy. The current mortgage condition has created a credit crunch, which means that subprime, Alt A and stated income mortgages have eroded. This has effectively paved the way for the rise of demand in private money loans, as well as the subsequent high returns associated with investing in them. Quest has a 30-year experienced management team that knows how to take advantage of this profitable niche in our economy.

Quest is a unique investment vehicle that mitigates the risk that is prevalent in the stock market while producing high returns. This is possible because our fund is comprised of superior real estate loans that meet our strict standards of quality. We make sure that all of our lending is backed by securities that meet our conservative criteria, which means sufficient equity in CLTV up to 60%, thorough underwriting of the borrower’s ability to make payments, and exhaustive property evaluation for collateral protection. We do appraisals and get an independent value confirmation on all properties. Our conservative approach results in high returns that do not compromise stability or safety. Investing with us is also an excellent way to diversify your investment portfolio.

The fund continues to grow and we are always bringing in more investors as word spreads about our exceptional returns. Visit InvestinQuest.com for a comprehensive, one-stop resource that contains all the information pertaining to Quest. Please take a moment to read through the testimonials written by our current investors expressing their satisfaction with the Quest experience. Accompanying their testimonials is contact information so that you can access honest feedback about their experience. This is one of the qualities that set Quest apart from lesser investment vehicles. One of our highest priorities is making sure our investors remain fully involved in every aspect of how their money is being managed, for this in turn results in satisfied and informed investors. We value openness and transparency when it comes to our financial process, because all of our lending methods are backed with our utmost confidence.

It should go without saying that Quest heartily welcomes your questions and concerns, because we are a company that greatly values customer satisfaction. By investing with Quest, you too can enjoy the abnormally high rates that our current investors are enjoying.

Thank you to all of our new contacts from the SF Money Show!

I would like to extend a sincere thank you to all of our new contacts from the San Francisco Money Show! It was our greatest pleasure to meet with you and speak in regards to the amazing investment opportunity that is Quest. Welcome to the Quest Investments family where our goal is to maximize shareholder wealth while mitigating risk. With a 30 year experienced management team, your investment is in good hands.

At the trade show there were many mortgage pools that were offering 6-7% returns. Contrary to appearances, this is not because they are safe investments vehicles. The reality is that such low returns indicate that the management team is not being as effective as they should be. Here at Quest, our number one priority is to serve our shareholders by maximizing their wealth. That is why our investors enjoy a 12% rate of return, and the testimonials on our website prove their satisfaction with the Quest experience. Our thorough underwriting and conservative lending practices ensure that their investments produce high rates of return while maintaining stablity and safety.

To all of our new contacts: thank you again for giving us the opportunity to speak with you! Quest Investments will continue to expand and increase its pool, and we hope that you will be a part of this amazing growth. Please feel free to give me a call or visit us at InvestinQuest.com to learn more about our mortgage fund and become a Quest Investor.

Back from the San Francisco Money Show

Our Quest management team just came back from a highly productive and enjoyable weekend at San Francisco for their annual Money Show. This prestigious event is a great opportunity for up and coming companies to showcase profitable investment opportunities to prospective investors. We were able to make many great friends and acquaintances at the show, and are happy to report that Quest has successfully gained new investors into our family. Our company's unique approach: conservative lending and thorough underwriting combined with abnormally high returns, naturally gained a lot of attention and interest at the show.
As a company that is constantly expanding, we are excited to continue to be a part of conferences, seminars, and mixers. Our goal is to spread the word about our amazing 12% rate of return. If you would like for Quest to speak at your next seminar, please give us a call or contact us via email. We sincerely hope to spread the word about our prosperous investment opportunity, for our goal is to become your instrument to financial success.

Invest in Quest

Quest Funding Inc. is a hard money wholesale lender based in Cerritos, California. We manage Quest Mortgage Fund L.L.C. which funds residential loans. The way our mortgage pool works is really unique and this is the reason why: an investor can join the pool by purchasing shares of the pool's securities (mortgage trust deeds). We offer our investors a steady and consistent 12% return on their money. With our mortgage pool the risk is mitigated because it is shared. For example, take a scenario where there are 100 securities in the pool and 3 out of those loans are either not performing or the properties are in foreclosure. If we were a fractionalized trust deed investment company and you had invested in one of those 3 non-performing property loans, then your monthly dividend checks would stop until the matter was resolved (that is, when the property was sold at a trust deed auction). The good news is that with Quest it doesn't work that way: we all share the non-performing property loan payments delay so that all risks are substantially minimized. So instead of making 12% that month an investor would make something like 11.5% and the remaining half percent difference is not lost but is actually added to the investor's owed balance to be paid when those non-performing properties become resolved. These factors make our fund a safe, smart, and highly profitable investment opportunity, great for investors. Go to http://www.investinquest.com/ to find out more. We also offer personalized webinars every Thursday with a Quest fund manager, so if you are interested please sign up by contacting hannah@questfi.com. The managers also put their money where their mouth is, and at any given point there are half a million dollars invested in the pool.
Here are some more interesting points that make Quest superior to other investment vehicles:
