Real estate notes are debt instruments secured by real property. When you invest in a real estate note, you're acting as the lender—not the property owner. The borrower repays the loan with interest, and if they default, the secured property can be foreclosed on and sold.

Blue Bay Fund I mirrors the mission of a traditional capital preservation fund through real estate–secured debt.

Instead, we focus on properties and assets that produce predictable income and retain real value.  What makes Blue Bay Fund the best capital preservation fund, is the fact that our fund manager, personally invests 100% into every loan. 

Then, as our fund investors allocate their invested capital to a note, they are replacing our fund managers' capital.  This approach ensures every partner in Blue Bay Fund has the confidence and assurance that the fund manager believes in each loan's underwriting to personally invest the full amount of the loan before ever presenting it to our investors.
