We will review your nomination for eligibility. Due to our small staff and due diligence process, this can take a week or two. We will then follow up with you to let you know the results of our review.

In many cases, this is because we have specifically chosen not to include the service provider category. The Guide is reserved for sectors that require private lender specialization. Examples of non-specialized categories:

  • Realtor
  • Wholesaler

If your service provider category requires specialization but is not a Guide option, please contact us.

No. Because private lending is a niche industry — and the number of service providers who specialize in working with private lenders even more so — our goal is to build a complete list, not create a money-making opportunity.

We reserve priority placement for AAPL members. Why? We want to reward service provider members who, although they are not private lenders themselves, are dedicated to supporting the private lending profession, our members, and association efforts.
