MORTGAGE STUFF (C-Loans Client Letter)

You are receiving this letter because you are a commercial mortgage broker client of either Blackburne & Sons or C-Loans, Inc. Removal instructions are below. Today we'll talk about finding the right bank for your commercial deal (outside of using C-Loans.com). And as always, we have lots of great jokes, funny pics, and an interesting video collection of famous Mae West movie lines.

Joke Du Jour

There once was a rich man who was near death. He was very grieved because he had worked so hard for his money. He wanted to be able to take it with him to heaven, so he began to pray that he might be able to take some of his wealth with him. An angel hears his plea and appears to him. "Sorry, but you can't take your wealth with you." The man implores the angel to speak to God to see if He might bend the rules. The man continues to pray that his wealth could follow him. The angel reappears and informs the man that God has decided to allow him to take one suitcase with him.

Overjoyed, the man gathers his largest suitcase and fills it with pure gold bars and places it beside his bed. Soon afterward the man dies and shows up at the Gates of Heaven. St. Peter, seeing the suitcase says, "Hold on, you can't bring that in here!" The man explains to St. Peter that he has permission and asks him to verify his story with the Lord. Sure enough, St. Peter checks and comes back saying, "You're right. You are allowed one carry-on bag, but I'm supposed to check its contents before letting it through." St. Peter opens the suitcase to inspect the worldly items that the man found too precious to leave behind and exclaims, "You brought pavement???''

Sponge Joke

In the doctors office, two patients are talking. "You know, I had an appendectomy last month, and the doctor left a sponge in me by mistake." "A sponge!" exclaims the other. "Does it hurt much?" "No, there's no pain at all," says the first, "but boy, do I ever get thirsty!"

In a Way, It's Not Really My Fault

Today's Training Subject: The Largest Commercial Loan That a Bank Can Make

C-Loans, Inc. is in the midst of building a huge database of commercial banks. Quick reminder: A commercial bank is a garden variety, everyday bank. An investment bank sells stocks and takes companies public. A merchant bank actually makes investments in (they buy the stock of) promising companies.

Now when you have 3,000 banks in your database, its pretty hard to call every one of them and ask them for the size of their maximum commercial loan. Fortunately it is possible to find the size of any bank - measured in assets owned (cash on hand, loans, securities, reserves held by the Fed) - by going to the FDIC's web site.

A commercial bank is required to have capital (dough left in the bank by its owners to cover loan losses) equal to around 6% of total assets. In truth the capital required is a very complex calculation, based on how risky the FDIC perceives the bank's loans to be, but 6% will do for our purposes.

Bank regulators don't want a bank to have all its eggs in one basket. Therefore a commercial bank is limited to lending to one person or to one company no more than 15% of its capital.

Now we can roughly figure out a bank's maximum commercial loan size. You take their asset size and multiply it by 6% to get a rough estimate of the bank's capitalization. Then multiply the bank's capitalization by 15%. And then, because we are realistic, let's cut that resulting maximum loan size in half.

Bottom line: Take small commercial loans to small banks and large commercial loans to large banks.

Meeting Hillary Joke

"The first sentence of Bill Clinton’s speech was 'In the spring of 1971, I met a girl.' You can imagine the relief in the room when they realized he was talking about Hillary." -- Conan O'Brien

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.

Funny Doctor True Story I

Funny Doctor True Story II

"I was performing a complete physical, including the visual acuity test. I placed the patient twenty feet from the chart and began, "Cover your right eye with your hand." He read the 20/20 line perfectly. Now your left." Again, a flawless read. "Now both," I requested . There was silence. He couldn't even read the large E on the top line. I turned and discovered that he had done exactly what I had asked; he was standing there with both his eyes covered. I was laughing too hard to finish the exam. -- Dr. Susan Steinberg, Manitoba, Canada

Business Loans Not Secured By Real Estate

I'm talking here about unsecured business loans, equipment loans, leases, inventory loans, factoring, accounts receivable financing, asset-backed lines of credit, etc.

The reason you want to get into the business of brokering business loans is because such loans close in 10 to 14 days, NOT three months.

C-Loans.com is now offering business financing. Please click here if you are trying to pace a business loan not secured by real estate.

Funny Doctor True Story III

"During a patient's two week follow-up appointment with his cardiologist, he informed me, his doctor, that he was having trouble with one of his medications. "Which one?" I asked. "The patch," he replied, "The nurse told me to put on a new one every six hours, and now I'm running out of places to put it!" I had him quickly undress and discovered what I hoped I wouldn't see. Yes, the man had over fifty patches on his body! Now the instructions include removal of the old patch before applying a new one." -- Dr. Matthew Theodropolous, Worcester, MA

Final Funny - PG-13

"A new, young MD doing his residency in OB was quite embarrassed performing female pelvic exams. To cover his embarrassment he had unconsciously formed a habit of whistling softly. The middle-aged lady upon whom he was performing this exam suddenly burst out laughing and further embarrassed him. He looked up from his work and sheepishly asked, "I'm sorry. Was I tickling you?" She replied, "No doctor, but the song you were whistling was 'I wish I was an Oscar Meyer Wiener.'" -- Dr. Leonard Kransdorf, Detroit, MI
