Explanation:

Under Article 7 on "hard money loans" (cash) of $30,000.00 and over for first trust deed loans, and $20,000.00 and over for junior deeds of trust, except where the new usury laws apply, the loan broker’s commission maximum is as much commission as her borrower will agree to pay her.

However, in some states a usury law has been passed to define the maximum rate of interest that may be charged on some hard money loans.

In real estate transactions, a hard money loan can be defined as a short-term loan or loans of last resort which is secured by a real property. These type of loans are mainly issued by the private investors (individuals or companies) rather than the common lenders such as credit union or a bank.
