Secured Promissory Note – This document is ‘secured’ by having the borrower set aside a physical item such as a home, vehicle, or boat that is given to the lender if the borrower cannot repay the loaned balance. The item should be roughly similar to the balance of the note to ensure the lender is covered financially.
