same thing those will usually have a sunset and investor may or may not put their money back in .. in bad situations you can count on investor freezing up.then you have wall street they are going to be like banks.. although with the notes that are in force with long maturities they have to honor them.. but may not extend new deals.There is always some lending and there are certainly small mom and pops with their own cash.. but tight market affects all.. that's from my 3 decades of being a HML ..
