Let me answer the question from my point of view:I would never expect a lender to advance me funds directly - the money should ALWAYS be sent to a lawyer in trust.I would expect that my lender would want his lawyer to review the agreement between us to ensure that my lender was covered.I would NEVER expect a lender to lend funds unless the funds were backed up by a hard asset with a substantial sum of money invested in the asset by the person requesting funds.For example - I will have $ 40 K of my own cash into the deal for a house that is valued at $ 180K +, but that we are purchasing for $ 160K.
