Often unclear how hard money lender became involved Change 2 – Source of borrower funds are changing: . Formerly, borrowers would park funds in account to season . New twist is borrower brings money into account incrementally on a daily basis Insert footer here using the Master Slide © Freddie Mac Mass Loan Level Misrepresentation .
