Instead of one investment into one loan, a fund investor can put one investment into a fund containing multiple loans.
Why You Should invest in a Real Estate Lending Fund

There is the attractive element of a predictable monthly stream of income and this is especially alluring for retirees and other fixed income investors. The 8%-12% interest rates gives you a higher yield than savings, bonds, and dividend paying stocks.
There is security in the capital stack. These loans are backed by real estate, so in the capital stack, the first trust deed is in the safest position and is the first in line to be paid back. On the other hand, equity is the most at risk, but, the upside is higher too. When it comes to debt investing, there is no upside; The returns are capped by the interest rate on the loan. Investors are comforted knowing their investment is secured by a hard asset.

Additionally, assets in a fund are diversified by geography, developer, maturity date, and asset type. All of this goes together to optimize predictability if income stream.
