Lenders tend to be paid a fee of between an eighth and ahalf of a percentage point of the loan balance, so $500 would eat up the firstyear's fees on a $100,000 loan.
The lender pays you, and the loan can be set up so that you can get paid in a lump sum, you can get paid regular monthly amount, or you can get paid at The Times and in the amounts you request.
