Private Money HQ
Side-by-Side Comparison

Sure, there are other systems out there. But do they really stack up?

You've seen what Private Money HQ does. Here's how it compares to what else is out there, now with Version 2 of the Private Money HQ LOS.

Version 2

The gaps are closed.

Private Money HQ Version 2 adds the processing tools brokers used to buy a second system for. Included in Core at no extra cost.

Branded Borrower Portal

Borrowers submit properties, upload requested docs, and track progress, verified by one-time passcode.

E-Signatures

Send, track, void, or revoke signing packages without leaving the LOS.

Conditions & Checklists

Program-specific checklists, per-lender doc lists, and PTD/PTF condition tracking.

AI Quote Import

Paste or upload a lender quote and compare options side by side.

Lender Submission Package

Export a submission-ready file and MISMO 3.x XML.

Lead Scoring & SLA Tracking

Every lead scored Hot to Cold, with response-time alerts so nothing goes cold.

The DIY Route

Why Not Just Build This Yourself?

GoHighLevel, Zoho, Salesforce. Any of these can technically become a private-money broker system. Nobody's stopping you. But "can become" is doing a lot of work in that sentence. You're not buying a system. You're buying a blank slate and signing up to be its product manager, indefinitely.

Time to launch
Build It Yourself

4–12+ weeks of intake, process mapping, and build sprints before you touch a live lead

Private Money HQ

About 10 business days

Upfront cost
Build It Yourself

$5,000–$15,000+ in agency or consultant fees, before you've used it once

Private Money HQ

$500 one-time setup (Core plan)

Private-money tools
Build It Yourself

None, natively. Deal math, lender matching, and term sheets get built from scratch or bolted on later

Private Money HQ

Live on day one: 7-program Quick App with live deal math, lender match, 100+ lender database, term sheets and LOIs

Borrower portal & e-sign
Build It Yourself

Another integration to buy, connect, and maintain

Private Money HQ

Built in: verified borrower portal, e-signatures, and condition tracking

Who maintains it
Build It Yourself

You, or whoever you hired, forever

Private Money HQ

Ampd maintains the core system; you use it

Marketing-to-loan-file connection
Build It Yourself

Two separate systems, synced manually or not at all

Private Money HQ

One CRM record, nothing to sync

The thing nobody else has out of the box: real-time LTV/LTC/DSCR deal math, automated lender scoring, borrower portal, and term sheets that all write to the same contact record, no double entry, no second login. Build that yourself and you're not configuring a CRM. You're building software.

Head-to-Head

Vs. The Other Popular Options Built for Brokers

These four are the ones we hear about most in live conversations. Fair comparison, both directions, here's where each one actually wins.

Private Money HQ
$299/mo + $500 setup (V2 included)
Best fit

Private-money brokers running business-purpose, non-owner-occupied deals

Lending Automator
~$297/mo (3 users, advertised)
Best fit

Brokers who only need file processing, not marketing

Where Ampd wins

Full marketing engine (SMS/email, nurture, reactivation, lead scoring) + live deal math + borrower portal, all in one record

Fair trade-off

Built-in soft credit pulls and deeper close-rate reporting

LendingWise
$600/mo (5-user plan)
Best fit

Brokers and lenders needing broader CRM + LOS + servicing

Where Ampd wins

Stronger demand generation and nurture, built for brokers, not direct lenders

Fair trade-off

Stronger for servicing, post-funding, and investor operations

Mortgage Automator
Custom quote (est. ~$447+/mo)
Best fit

Private lenders and lender-broker hybrids

Where Ampd wins

Built for broker growth, not lender back-office

Fair trade-off

Stronger for servicing, compliance, and back-office ops

ARIVE
~$150/mo (3 seats, annual)
Best fit

Traditional or conventional mortgage brokers

Where Ampd wins

Purpose-built for private-money deal math and lender criteria

Fair trade-off

Stronger for conventional/wholesale mortgage workflow

Pricing shown is publicly advertised or estimated as of October 2026 and changes often. Confirm current pricing directly with the vendor before quoting a number to a broker.

The Rest of the Field

Everyone Else, In One Breath

Zoho CRM

Flexible and inexpensive per seat, but most brokers need a paid consultant to build and change it. Ampd arrives already built for private money.

Liquid Logics

Built for lender and fund operations: servicing, investor reporting, portfolio management. Ampd is built for getting the deal, not administering it after close.

The Mortgage Office

A back-office platform for lenders and funds handling payments, escrow, and trust accounting. A broker shouldn't pay for infrastructure they don't operate.

Lendr, LendFoundry, LoanPro

Lender-side origination and servicing infrastructure. Built to run a lending business, not grow a brokerage.

LendingPad, Encompass, Byte, MeridianLink

Built for conventional, regulated residential mortgage. A different business than private-money brokerage.
