Free Commercial Loan Leads
C-Loans.com, is our original portal. C-Loans.com has been phenomenally successful, boasting over 1,000 commercial loan closings totaling over $1 billion. We will list banks on C-Loans.com for free, and they will receive free leads by email, as well as calls and emails directly from borrowers.
If the bank closes a commercial loan, however, the bank owes to C-Loans.com a software licensing fee of between 25 to 50 bps (usually 37.5 bps.) In real life, all of our banks simply bump their normal loan fee from 1.0 points to 1.375 points, so C-Loans.com effectively costs the bank nothing. Please click here to get listed on C-Loans for free. (You must be a bona fide direct commercial lender servicing at least $20 million in commercial loans.)

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!

- Today's Observation -
How To Use Marketing Leverage
This strong economy cannot continue forever. Sooner or later we are going to have a recession. When that recession finally hits, commercial real estate lenders are not going to want to talk about the "fair market value" of your commercial property. They will be fixated completely on cost.
|
|
|
By “cost”, they mean, “What did you pay for the property? How much did you put down?” The reason they will be zeroed in on cost is because very few commercial properties will be selling, and when commercial properties do sell during a recession, they sell at deep discounts to their former fair market values.
Example:
Your loan client buys an industrial building for $1 million. Four years later, the property has soared in value to $1.6 million. Then the recession hits, and your client’s $750,000 balloon payment comes due. Uh-oh. Because comparable sales are impossible to find, banks are going to base their valuations upon the purchase price - your client’s actual cost. To make matter worse, they will cut their loan-to-value ratios back to just 65%. Suddenly your client will have to come to the closing table with $100,000 in cash, just to refinance his $750,000 loan.
|
|
|
|
Moral of the story:
If your client has any balloon payments coming due in the next three years, he better get off his tush and refinance them now!

I guess the biggest issue my husband and I are going to have is how do we raise the baby? Because he's Jewish, and I'm Protestant... and the baby's father is Catholic.

Final Funny
An old woman walked up and tied her old mule to the hitching post. As she stood there, brushing some of the dust from her face and clothes, a young gunslinger stepped out of the saloon with a gun in one hand and a bottle of whiskey in the other. The young gunslinger looked at the old woman and laughed, “Hey, old woman, have you ever danced?"
The old woman looked up at the gunslinger and said, “No, I never did dance. Never really wanted to.” A crowd had gathered as the gunslinger grinned and said “Well, you old bag, you're gonna dance now," and started shooting at the old woman's feet. The old woman prospector -- not wanting to get her toe blown off -- started hopping around. Everybody was laughing.
When his last bullet had been fired, the young gunslinger, still laughing, holstered his gun and turned around to go back into the saloon. The old woman turned to her pack mule, pulled out a double-barreled shotgun, and cocked both hammers. The loud clicks carried clearly through the desert air, and the crowd stopped laughing immediately.
The young gunslinger heard the sounds, too, and he turned around very slowly. The silence was almost deafening. The crowd watched As the young gunman stared at the old woman and the large gaping holes of those twin barrels. The barrels of the shotgun never wavered in the old woman's hands, as she quietly said, “Son, have you ever kissed a mule's a$$?"
The gunslinger swallowed hard and said, “No, Ma'am... but I've always wanted to."
