Hard money typically means institutional non-QM lenders (Kiavi, Lima One, Renovo, etc.) with standardized terms — faster origination, more transparent pricing, broader product menus. Private money typically means individual lenders, smaller funds, or family offices with more flexible underwriting, sometimes better rates for established borrowers, but more relationship-dependent. Both regularly fund Roseland deals.
