Joke Du Jour
This is for people of an older generation who do not really comprehend why Facebook exists:
Presently I am trying to make friends outside of Facebook while applying the same Facebook principles. Therefore every day I go out on the street and tell the passers-by what I have eaten, how I feel, what I did the night before, and what I will do tomorrow. Then I give them pictures of my family, my dog, of me gardening and of me spending time in my pool. I also listen to their conversations, and I tell them I love them.
It works! I already have three people following me - two police officers and a psychiatrist.

Kellog's Joke
Two police officers respond to a crime scene behind a grocery store. The homicide detective is already there. "What happened?" asks the first officer. "Male, about twenty-five, covered in Raisin Bran, and dead as a doornail." "Good grief," says the second officer. "Didn't we have one covered in Frosted Flakes yesterday? And Captain Crunch last week?" "You're right. I'm afraid," said the detective as he took a drag from his cigar, "this is the work of a cereal killer."

Angry Fan Joke
A ventriloquist is telling Irish jokes in a pub, when an irate Irishman stands up: "You're makin' out like we're all dumb and stupid. I oughta punch you in the nose." "I'm sorry sir, I..." "Not you," says the Irishman, "I'm talking to that little fella on your knee."

Ax Murderer Loans Versus Stated-Income Loans
In addition to C-Loans.com, I also own Blackburne & Sons Realty Capital Corporation, one of the older private money commercial mortgage companies.
One of our loan officers fielded an inquiry this week from a young commercial mortgage broker asking for a Stated-Income Commercial Loan. Folks, the Stated-Income Commercial Loan is an extinct animal. It was a securitized commercial loan program that existed between 1998 and 2008. The program originated on Wall Street (more precisely by a commercial lender named Bayview Financial), where the lender didn't even collect tax returns. These commercial mortgage loans were underwritten almost entirely based on the loan-to-value ratio and the credit score of the borrower. These stated-income commercial loans had pretty low interest rates, a fixed rate, and an enormous prepayment penalty.
The residential version of these stated-income loans became known as liar loans. This residential stated-income loan program was a complete disaster, and it produced hundreds of billions of dollars in loan losses to CMBS investors.
Surprisingly - with little fanfare - stated-income commercial loans produced proportionately much smaller loan losses, even though commercial real estate fell by 45% at its nadir (low point). Nevertheless, no commercial mortgage company has successfully convinced Wall Street to securitize stated-income commercial loans again.
Therefore, if some hard money lender is boasting of a stated-income commercial loan program, they are full of poo-poo. The stated-income commercial loan program from Wall Street had interest rates that were 2.5% to 3.5% lower than any hard money lender.
Blackburne & Sons offers a subprime commercial loan program that is even better than competing stated-income programs. We call it our Ax Murderer Loan Program. Yes, we do collect two-years' tax returns, but even if they show a loss of hundreds of thousands of dollars, we might still approve the loan! The reason why is because we don't use some rigid matrix. We underwrite every deal individually, and we approve many loans - perhaps because the property is nice or well-located - that would stun a banker. So if your borrower chopped his parents up into little pieces... :-)
Further down you'll find a place to apply directly to Blackburne & Sons. Or you can submit the deal using C-Loans.com. The advantage of using C-Loans is that you can submit your A-quality or subprime commercial loan to six different lenders with one click, rather than to just Blackburne & Sons.
C-Loans.com is a commercial mortgage
portal where you can enter a commercial loan in just four minutes
and then submit it to hundreds of different commercial lenders
with one click. And C-Loans is free!
Obituary Joke
Bob opened the morning newspaper and was dumbfounded to read in the obituary column that he had died. He quickly phoned his best friend, John. "Did you see the paper?" asked Bob. "They say I died!" "Yes, I saw it!" replied John. "Where are you callin' from?"
Small Balance Preferred Equity "Loans"
Do you really understand preferred equity? This free whitepaper will help you to truly understand it. It's written in easy-to-understand layman's language.
You'll use preferred equity in three common scenarios. (1) You have an investor buying a non-owner-user commercial-investment property. The bank refuses to make a first mortgage larger than 60% LTV. The buyer only wants to put down 25%. We'll cover the gap. (2) Your client has a balloon payment coming due, but he can't qualify for a new first mortgage large enough to pay off the old first mortgage. We'll cover the gap. (3) Your client wants to buy out an impossible partner. We'll provide the capital to buy him out.
