With that, we became the American Association of Private Lenders—and we began spreading the word.Finally, Some DefinitionsUnderpinning the concept of minimizing the use of “hard money” in our industry is a recurring theme of standardization—that the root of the issue is too many interpretations of what the same terms mean.We offer up the following definitions for discussion, debate, fine-tuning, and eventual consensus [last updated 5/9/2022]:Private lender: Any non-depository individual or entity that primarily originates business-purpose loans secured by hard assets, generally real estate.Hard money lender: A subset of private lender where creditworthiness is determined solely by the securing real estate collateral.Correspondent lender: A subset of private lender where the closed loan is sold to investors.Portfolio lender: A subset of private lender where the closed loan remains in the lender’s portfolio.Fund manager: A subset of private lender where, depending on the fund structure, the deployed capital is sourced by offering exempted securities to accredited and occasionally non-accredited private investors.Private investor: An individual or entity that seeks a return by deploying capital through a private lender or fund; the investor may or may not be named on the loan’s promissory note.Private money broker: Any individual or entity that acts as an intermediary between a borrower and a private lender without directly originating the loan.

However, he asked me to sign a one-year Exclusive Right to Represent agreement, as presented to him by his brokerage.His interpretation is that it applies only when he materially assists me, but I think the boilerplate brokerage language he was given reads much more broadly:"If during the term of this Agreement Buyer enters into a contract for the purchase of Property through the services or efforts of the Broker or Buyer’s Brokerage Firm, or by or through any other persons during the term of this Agreement" (emphasis mine).My concern is that, under my interpretation, if a fellow real estate investor wants to unload a property or if I get pointed to an opportunity by a former agent, colleague, or friend, this agreement could create an obstacle to moving forward with the deal.In the end, I didn’t sign.
