Justice Mortgage Investors - 1973 dated Stock Certificate
Inv# IV1064 Stock
Stock with paper loss in left margin. Incorporated in 1971.
Justice Mortgage Investors, a real estate investment trust (REIT) based in Dallas, Texas, operated during the early 1970s. The firm specialized in providing mortgage loans and engaged in various real estate transactions, including acquiring property deeds and utility easements in North Texas. At its peak, Justice Mortgage Investors maintained offices at 505 North Ervay in Dallas and was closely monitored by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and prominent financial chronicles of the era.
However, by the late 1970s and early 1980s, the company faced significant securities litigation. It was a defendant in legal actions such as Pearlman v. Justice Mortgage Investors, which centered on allegations of misrepresentations or omissions in financial reporting. These legal challenges were part of a broader trend of litigation involving mortgage-backed entities, contributing to Justice Mortgage Investors’ historical reputation as an early-stage mortgage investment risk. The legacy of such entities continues to serve as a reference point for regulators and investors studying the evolution of mortgage market stability and consumer protections, even in 2026.
A stock certificate is issued by businesses, usually companies. A stock is part of the permanent finance of a business. Normally, they are never repaid, and the investor can recover his/her money only by selling to another investor. Most stocks, or also called shares, earn dividends, at the business's discretion, depending on how well it has traded. A stockholder or shareholder is a part-owner of the business that issued the stock certificates.
