Shopping List Joke
My father was completely lost in the kitchen and never ate unless someone prepared a meal for him. When Mother was ill, however, he volunteered to go to the supermarket for her. She sent him off with a carefully numbered list of seven items.
Dad returned shortly, very proud of himself, and proceeded to unpack the grocery bags. He had one bag of sugar, two dozen eggs, three hams, four boxes of detergent, five boxes of crackers, six eggplants, and seven green peppers.

How C-Loans Actually Works
Think of C-Loans.com as a giant filter. We start with 750 participating commercial lenders. Every time you enter more information into the application - loan amount, property type, loan type, state, credit - dozens of lenders are filtered out. Upon completion, you are left with a list of 20 to 30 perfect lenders. You put a check mark next to six lenders at a time and press submit. Soon you are receiving quotes and offers. No good offers? Come back and submit to six more lenders, then six more, and so on. And C-Loans.com is free!

Devout Cowboy Joke
The devout cowboy lost his favorite Bible while he was mending fences out on the range. Three weeks later, a cow walked up to him carrying the Bible in its mouth. The cowboy couldn't believe his eyes. He took the precious book out of the cow’s mouth, raised his eyes heavenward and exclaimed, "It's a miracle!" "Not really," said the cow, "Your name is written inside the cover.”

Picture Joke
A soldier serving overseas far from home was annoyed and upset when his girl wrote to break off their engagement and ask for her photograph back. He went out and collected from his friends all the unwanted photographs of women that he could find, bundled them all together, and sent them back with a note saying, “I regret that I cannot remember which one you are. Please keep your photo and return the others.”

Refinance Your Commercial Loan Right Now!
Days Now Matter.

When banks get scared, one of the first lending spigots that they turn off is commercial mortgage lending. Banks are about to get scared again. This recovery cannot continue too much longer. It's already the longest recovery in history.
Ordinarily, a garden-variety recession is no big deal. Unfortunately, the timing of this recession may kill President Trump’s chances of reelection. We could easily elect a socialist-leaning president, like Elizabeth Warren.
Holy poop! Right or wrong, equity investors will not like that. Can you imagine the rout in the stock market once it becomes clear that Trump will lose? A 30% to 40% crash in the stock market would send our banks into survival mode. New loans will be rare, but the banks will continue to rake in their monthly payments.
Just like in 2008, the Multiplier Effect (20:1) will kick into reverse. Every time a bank collects a $1,000 loan payment and fails to immediately lend it back out, a whopping $20,000 (20:1) gets sucked out of the U.S. money supply.

Trillions of dollars will be destroyed. Therefore your commercial loan customers must move immediately to refinance their commercial loans. Bank rates on commercial loans are terrific right now.
Do you know how banks price their commercial real estate loans? They look at five-year Treasuries (1.68% today), and then they add 2.75% to 3.5%.
Remember this rule: When quoting a commercial real estate loan from a bank, look up five-year Treasuries, and then add 2.75% to 3.5%. Better deals get the better rates. Subtract one-half percent for multifamily deals.
Using this handy formula, your client can expect a commercial real estate loan from a bank of 4.43% to 5.18%. That’s a wonderful rate, so call up your investors and get them moving right now. If they start the process right away, they will likely close just in time.

Final Funny
A rancher was minding his own business when a DEA agent came up up to him and said, "We got a tip that you may be growing illegal drugs on the premises. Do you mind if I take a look around?"
The old rancher replied, "That's fine, you shouldn't go over there though." As he pointed at one of his fields. The arrogant DEA agent snapped at him, "I'm am a federal agent! I can go wherever I want!” With that he pulled out his badge and shoved it into the ranchers face.
The rancher shrugged this off and continued with his daily chores. About 15 minutes later he heard a loud scream from the field he had pointed out earlier. All of a sudden he could see the DEA agent sprinting towards him with a large bull on his heels.
The rancher rushed to the fence and yelled, "Your badge! Show him your badge!"
