<!-- All loan-product, state, borough, county, hub, FAQ, proof-of-funds, business-financing, and blog URLs verified present -->
<!-- FIX 2026-07-28: added missing terms-of-service and privacy-policy URLs (both live pages,
     previously absent from this sitemap). /sab-tera-vs-competitors and /glossary confirmed
     correct as-is — these ARE the live slugs, do not change to /compare-lenders or
     /hard-money-glossary. -->
<!-- FIX 2026-09-05: added 4 newly-built NYC-metro location pages, none of which were in this
     sitemap despite being live and fully indexed in llms.txt/llms-full.txt — Bronx, NY;
     Staten Island, NY; Manhattan, NY; and Westchester County, NY. This closes the gap between
     what AI crawlers/assistants already know about (via llms.txt) and what Google/Bing could
     discover via XML sitemap. Placed immediately after Brooklyn, NY to match the existing
     NYC-borough build-out ordering in llms.txt. With this fix, all five NYC boroughs plus
     Nassau County, Suffolk County, Long Island, and Westchester County — the entirety of the
     New York State page's coverage line — now have a sitemap entry. -->
<!-- FIX 2026-09-06: added /business-loans, the hub page for the new Business & Commercial
     Financing vertical (8 non-real-estate products: Bridge Financing, Term Loans, Revolving
     Line of Credit, Merchant Cash Advance, Equipment Financing, SBA Loans, Accounts Receivable
     Financing, Business HELOC), placed in its own "BUSINESS & COMMERCIAL FINANCING VERTICAL"
     section immediately after the Loan Product Pages section, at the same 0.9 priority as the
     6 RE loan-product pages since this is a primary lead-generation page for the site's second
     revenue vertical. /apply-business-loans was intentionally NOT added here, mirroring the
     pre-existing sitewide convention of excluding /apply (the RE application/conversion page)
     from this sitemap as a non-indexable action page rather than a content page — flagged for
     owner confirmation this is still the desired treatment for the new business-financing
     application page. -->
<!-- FIX 2026-09-19: /hard-money-lending-long-island was stuck in Google Search Console as
     "Crawled - currently not indexed" — diagnosed as internal-link starvation (only the hub
     page linked to it, no county pages did) plus FAQPage schema/HTML drift on the page itself.
     Both were fixed: contextual internal links to the guide were added to
     /hard-money-lender-long-island, /hard-money-lender-nassau-county, and
     /hard-money-lender-suffolk-county; lastmod bumped to today on all four affected URLs to
     reflect the real content/link changes (previously stale at 2026-06-15 despite substantive
     edits). -->
<!-- FIX 2026-10-24: Bridge Loan figures reconciled to the canonical from 8.9% IO / 80% LTV on /faq, /hard-money-lender-georgia, /hard-money-lender-massachusetts and /what-is-a-private-hard-money-lender; /fix-and-flip-loan-guide-2026 touched for the llms-txt/llms-full-txt discoverability tags and llms entry. lastmod bumped to 2026-10-24 on those five URLs. -->
<!-- FIX 2026-10-24 (second pass): title/meta/H1/schema-name rewrite on the same five URLs (Massachusetts, Georgia, /faq, /what-is-a-private-hard-money-lender, /fix-and-flip-loan-guide-2026); lastmod 2026-10-24 already reflects both passes. -->
