The rules

Referring and brokering are not the same thing

These rules keep you and your borrowers on the right side of state law. They apply to every partner on every file.

A referral is an introduction

Referral Partners connect the borrower and step back. You do not quote rates, negotiate terms or collect loan documents. You are paid only when the loan funds.

Broker only where you are allowed to

Broker and Certified partners broker in states marked open, in conditional states when they meet the conditions, and in license-required states only when they hold that license. In every other state, you submit the file as a referral.

Certification is not a license

The Certified Private Money Broker designation is our training and support program. It does not replace a state license, registration or bond where one is required.

Licensed agents and loan officers

If you hold a real estate broker, salesperson or NMLS license, some license-required states open up to you. For example, New Jersey agents take referral fees through their broker. Tell us your licenses when you sign up.

Paid at closing, never upfront

No partner collects an upfront or advance fee from a borrower. Several states, including IL, KS and LA, only exempt fees paid at a successful closing.

Property state on every scenario

Every file records the property state. For any state that is not open for your role, you confirm you meet the requirement before you submit, and we route it as a referral if you do not.

FAQ

Questions partners ask

What is the difference between the free Broker Partner and Certified?+

Both set their own points, up to 2, and both follow the same state rules. Certified adds the training track and designation, the full Partner Desk toolset, priority processing, VIP support, co-branded marketing and monthly group calls. If you already have deal flow and know how to package a file, start free as a Broker Partner. If you are newer or want a team behind you, get certified.

How is the 10% referral payout calculated?+

It is 10% of the origination revenue InvestorLoan.ai earns as a company on that specific loan, including our points and any yield spread paid by the capital partner. What we earn varies by program and capital partner and averages approximately 1 point, so a $500,000 loan typically pays a Referral Partner approximately $500. If we earn more on a file, your payout goes up with it. It is paid after the loan funds.

My state requires a license to broker. What can I do?+

Submit those files as a referral where paid referrals are allowed, or get the license the state requires and tell us once you have it. We will open brokering in that state on your account. Use the state tool above to see what your state requires.

Can I be a Referral Partner in some states and a broker in others?+

Yes. Your account follows the property's state on each file. A Broker Partner who submits a file in a state where they are not allowed to broker is paid as a Referral Partner on that file.

I already work with other lenders. Is that a problem?+

No. There is no exclusivity. Bring us the files that fit our programs and use us alongside your existing capital sources.

What loans qualify?+

Business-purpose investor loans: fix and flip, DSCR rental, new construction, bridge and commercial. We do not fund owner-occupied consumer loans.

Can I upgrade or downgrade later?+

Yes. Upgrade to Certified from your Partner Desk at any time, or cancel Certified and stay on as a free Broker Partner.
