Not here to provide an  endorsement or be critical of the lenders on this list but volume is not by any means an indicator I would rely upon when selecting my banking relationships.

This was critical for me since I wanted the code generation for the guests to be fully automated.

Recognizing their critical role, the Best-Performing Cities (BPC) index evaluates the relative economic performance of 403 metropolitan areas, providing valuable insights into the strengths and vulnerabilities of these economic powerhouses.The BPC index utilizes 13 key metrics, combining labor market conditions, high-tech industry growth, and access to economic opportunities.

This is a pretty critical difference.  

this is the distinct different between being an actual lender like a bank .. and an investor in a fund.. two very separate transactions.. when you lend and receive collateral on the asset you get paid when it pays off or the borrower refinances etc. 

I came across some critical information today that I think is important to share with you:In the aftermath of the LA fires, it has become evident that some homeowners’ insurance claims have been denied or disputed because the property title was held in a trust, but the insurance policy was under the individual homeowner’s name.This serves as a valuable reminder to review your insurance policies and ensure that the ownership structure on your property title matches the named insured on their policy.

Being competitive is obviously important, but I think those 3 factors are the most critical. 

Transparency, regular communication, and clear milestones have been critical to making this successful.For those of you who are considering working with private lenders or want to improve your deal structure, I hope this gives you some food for thought.
