Your initial use of the money is for a consumer purpose.Any wise private/hard money lender (the terms are synonymous) will ask you to establish up-front and in writing, the purpose of the loan.

@Odie Ayaga I think I had read so much about the ins and outs of seller financing here on BP that I didn't even realize that a "land contract" was really a different animal, one that I hadn't actually heard much about but thought was synonymous with seller financing. 

The choice at that point will be to recast/re-amortize it (synonyms), or just pay it down and leave the payment the same.

For most of history, syndicated deals of all kinds where never marketed or advertised to the general public, and when for relatively short periods of time they were the results where not good.In the US real estate syndications became synonymous with private offerings, which are exempt from the requirement of SEC registration.  

Where you went to school, is the word "bother" synonymous with the word "outrage"?

Buying that first home has become synonymous with “making it” in life, and therefore at the top of the list of things to aspire.

These companies, namely Tesla, Apple, Microsoft, Alphabet (Google), and Nvidia, have captured the imagination of investors and become synonymous with incredible market success.

And "simple" is not necessarily a synonym for "good".

It seems to be used synonymously.  

if you see allan's post above he says he is a hard money lender and has a company that does that.but then in his e mails and websites he says he is a private money lender.so in this context the two are  synonymous  with each other.. and you have a few different type of Hard money lenders.You have those that broker private individuals funds  so in essence a private individual will be the beneficiary of your loan.. and the HML  IE broker is make points for his services and may charge a servicing fee to you or the lender.You have HML who have raised fund through some sort of PPM or reg d offering and lend in the name of the PPMand you have companies that may have a credit facility with an institutional lender.. where by they lend some of their personal funds and the balance is taken from their credit facility .some banks will require an assignment of the loan once completed or simply an Alonge with the docs held in their vault.. this is how I ran my HML shop I had both of these with different banks...
