RTI Properties provides private real estate loans secured by trust deeds, including second-position financing. These loans sit behind an existing first mortgage and allow investors to unlock equity while keeping their current loan in place.
We take a practical approach to underwriting. Each request is reviewed based on property value, equity position, location, and repayment strategy. Because we fund directly, approvals move quickly and closings are not delayed by unnecessary steps.
From the start, terms are clearly explained so investors know exactly what to expect.
Phoenix has remained active, supported by population growth, housing demand, and ongoing development across residential and commercial sectors. In November 2025, the median home price reached $465,000, reflecting a 3.4% increase compared to the prior year.
Homes are taking slightly longer to sell, averaging 61 days on the market, up from 56 days last year. Sales volume has dipped modestly as well, with 1,170 homes sold in November, compared to 1,189 sales during the same period the year before.
Despite slower turnover, many property owners are sitting on meaningful equity, especially those who acquired assets earlier in the cycle.
Inventory levels have increased compared to peak years, giving buyers more time to evaluate properties and negotiate terms. Investors are seeing fewer bidding situations and more opportunities to structure deals carefully.
This environment favors investors who have access to flexible capital. Having the ability to act quickly without refinancing delays can be a major advantage when opportunities surface.
Several factors continue to support long-term value across the Phoenix market:
- Continued population growth and household formation
- Strong demand for rental housing
- Business relocation and job creation
- Ongoing residential and commercial development
These fundamentals have helped maintain pricing strength while allowing the market to move at a more sustainable pace.
Second trust deed loans give investors access to equity without replacing an existing first mortgage. This structure is often used when current loan terms are favorable or when timing does not allow for a full refinance
Common uses include:
- Unlocking equity tied up in existing properties
- Funding renovations or improvements
- Covering short-term capital needs
- Handling time-sensitive obligations
- Bridging to a sale or refinance
RTI Properties structures each loan around the investor’s plan, with repayment strategy clearly defined from day one.
Phoenix investors use second-position financing in many real-world situations, such as:
- Renovation budgets to increase value or rental income
- Paying off private notes or junior liens
- Cash-out financing for new acquisitions
- Ownership or partnership transitions
- Loan extensions approaching maturity
- Avoiding distressed sales
Each request is reviewed individually, allowing flexibility when the numbers support the deal.

How can a 2nd trust deed loan help me access equity without refinancing?

What types of properties are eligible for a 2nd trust deed loan in Phoenix?
We work with a wide range of properties, including single-family homes, multifamily buildings, mixed-use assets, retail or office spaces, and other commercial properties.
How quickly can I get funding once approved?
Because RTI Properties funds loans directly, approvals are fast and closings often happen within days, not weeks.
Are newer investors able to qualify for these loans?
Yes. While prior experience is helpful, approval primarily depends on the property’s equity, the deal structure, and a clear repayment plan. Strong equity and a solid exit strategy make new investors eligible.

These loans are short-term by design, usually ranging from 6 to 24 months. The term provides enough time to complete renovations, stabilize income, sell, or refinance into a long-term loan.
