Review the question and all answer choices
Mortgages only
Mortgages are not used as the primary security instrument in Nevada. While they exist in some contexts, Nevada law specifically requires deeds of trust for real estate financing.

Nevada does not use both instruments equally. State law specifically mandates deeds of trust as the primary security instrument.
Land contracts only
Land contracts are not security instruments at all; they are a form of seller financing. Nevada does not use them as security instruments.
Why is this correct?
