It's time to move on past the antiquated HARD MONEY and HARD MONEY LENDER terminology

To end the confusion once and for all we need to put a cold hard stop to using the terms of hard money and hard money lenders. Private Money can be lent by individuals and institutions. The hard money industry was the wild west. Very little difference between a"lender", a "loan shark" or a guy with a trench coat selling watches by a bodega in a New York City borough.

Today's private money industry is coming together and offering stability as well as known entities. Easy to find on google. They have brick and mortar as well as an online presence. 

This is a good thing!
