Private Equity Mortgage Firm?

This might be a stupid question but can a mortgage investor that is not publicly traded and uses funds from investors & lenders be called private equity? This would be very similar to a private equity real estate firm; I just feel that private equity is an odd term in the mortgage industry.

Quite a few companies do this. Anyone from large firms like KKR and Oaktree to small shops you've never heard of with family money.

No they wouldn't be considered a private equity firm because conduit loans will get pooled and securitized where it's sold publicly. PE firms will typically have a specific strategy in mind, raise the money, and then execute. In this case for the conduit loan execution is happening earlier, the terms of the deal are locked in at origination which is done by an investment bank, then it's sold to another bank who will pool it with other loans and securitize for sale in the public market. In the public market, your investors will still view it as a different kind of debt paying instrument, not equity.
