The lender / partner one-pager

1 · Learn the move · Persona + value framing

The first time a holder needs someone else's money, the one-pager decides whether the conversation goes past a first read. Lenders and partners read the same facts for different reasons. A loan officer reads for collateral, how the loan gets paid during the hold, and what is documented. A partner reads for control, what they are exposed to, and what nobody knows yet. Persona and value framing means one fact block, two pages, each ordered for its reader. What must not change between them is the facts, and what must never appear in either is a figure the file does not support: a projected value, a loan-to-value with no appraisal, an expected return, a sale price at the end of the hold. The partner page carries one more line, and it goes first. Asking someone to put money into a property you control, for a share of what it makes, can make their interest a security. That page is a draft for a securities attorney before it goes to anyone, and the model never says the arrangement is permitted.

Here is my fact block. Write two one-pagers from it. A: for a loan officer, ordered around collateral, repayment during the hold, and what is documented. B: for a prospective partner, ordered around control, exposure and unknowns, opening with a note that it is a draft for a securities attorney. Same facts in both. No projected value, no LTV without an appraisal, no return, no exit price.
