C-LOANS BANKER LETTER
This letter is intended only for commercial mortgage loan officers working for banks and hard money lenders. Today we'll talk about how your bank can get a free* listing on our brand new portal, CommercialMortgage.com. And, of course, because this is C-Loans (the jokesters), we have lots of cute, clean jokes, some funny pics, and a hilarious Saturday Night Live spoof of the Clinton-Trump debate.
*Completely free. You don't even owe us a fee if you close a deal.
Joke Du Jour
A seven-year-old boy is sitting at the dinner table with his parents. Suddenly he announces, "Me and Janie next door are gonna get married!" "Oh?" says the mother, amused. "And how old is Janie?" "Six," replies the boy. "Well," says the father, "what are you going to do for money?" "I get 5 dollars a week allowance," says the son, "and Janie gets 2. We figured that if we put them together, we'll be okay." "I see," says the father. "But what are you going to do if you have any children?" "Well," says the boy, "so far we've been lucky."

Bob Dylan Joke
"Bob Dylan was awarded the Nobel Prize for literature today. Dylan was like, 'This is the greatest honor I've ever received.' Or he might have said, 'Misses gravy's on her ivory steed.' It's impossible to tell.” -- Seth Meyers (Confused? Bob Dylan mumbles horribly.)
Ever Wonder What a C-Loans Application Looks Like?
Here's a sample commercial loan application.

Taxation With Representation Isn't So Hot Either
Please Refer Your Commercial Loan Turndowns to Either CommercialMortgage.com or C-Loans.com
If you turn down a commercial real estate loan this week, would you kindly refer the borrower to CommercialMortgage.com (easier to remember) or C-Loans.com? CommercialMortgage.com better be easy to remember. We paid $100,000 just for that domain name, CommercialMortgage.com. If none of our 4,000 different commercial lenders can help him, the deal probably isn't do-able. Thanks so much!
Stop and Frisk Joke
"The NYPD is apparently teaching its officers how to be more polite. It's true. The last time I got frisked, the cop was like, 'Have you lost weight?'” -- Jimmy Fallon
Difference Between CommercialMortgage.com
and C-Loans.com
"I'm confused, George. Why would you build a new commercial mortgage portal to compete with C-Loans.com? Don't you own both of these portals?"
C-Loans, Inc. (I'm the 100% stockholder) owns both C-Loans.com and CommercialMortgage.com. The two portals are designed to complement each other. Think of CommercialMortgage.com ("CMDC") as C-Loans Lite.
CMDC is much easier to use. We ask the user just six quick questions, and then we give him a list of 30 suitable commercial lenders. Because all the questions can be answered using a drop-down menu, the site works great on a smart phone. It's basically an app.
C-Loans.com is the site that is wildly popular on Google. Our flagship site has several hundred pages of superb content. A new mortgage broker can learn the entire profession of commercial real estate finance by studying its pages, including structured finance and such advanced ratios as the debt yield ratio.
C-Loans users can dial down to the county level to find the best commercial lender for their deal, and they can actually submit their commercial loan applications to lenders online.
As a lender, should you join C-Loans.com or the faster, easier portal, CommercialMortgage.com? It depends. If you'd like to close an extra couple of commercial loans every year, you should probably just join CommercialMortgage.com. If you are serious about expanding your commercial lending division, however, you should definitely join C-Loans.com. You will get far more applications
E. Coli Joke
"A woman in Oregon who was hospitalized for E. Coli after eating Chipotle is suing the company for free Chipotle. It’s all part of Oregon’s Right to Die Law." -- Conan O'Brien

Learn how to turn on a flow of SBA and conventional commercial mortgage leads as easily as turning on a spigot.

Furniture Joke
A Naval officer was cutting through the crew's quarters of his ship one day and happened upon a sailor reading a magazine with his feet up on the small table in front of him. "Sailor! Do you put your feet up on the furniture at home?" the officer demanded. "No, sir, but we don't land airplanes on the roof either."
Join C-Loans For a Flat Fee
Most banks that join C-Loans take advantage of our free guaranteed success program; but a bank can now join C-Loans, get listed on our Suggested Lender Lists, and receive tons of commercial mortgage loan applications for a small monthly fee:
For banks with less than $2 billion in assets, the cost is just $250 per month, and up to three loan officers can receive our SBA and commercial real estate loan leads.
For banks with more than $2 billion in assets and less than $7 billion in assets, the cost is just $350 per month, and up to four loan officers can receive our SBA and commercial real estate loan leads.
For banks with more than $7 billion in assets and less than $15 billion in assets, the cost is just $500 per month, and up to five loan officers can receive our SBA and commercial real estate loan leads.
For banks with more than $15 billion in assets, the cost is just $1,000 per month, and up to ten loan officers can receive our SBA and commercial real estate loan leads.
Important note: In all of these cases, the bank owes nothing more, even if it closes a loan.
To join C-Loans using our new flat-fee program, please email Mick Carlson, General Manager, or call him at 574-855-6292.
But, once again, most banks joining C-Loans, take advantage of our free guaranteed success program, where the bank only pays C-Loans, Inc. a software licensing fee of 0.375 points (just 25 bps. on deals over $5MM) if it closes a commercial loan from C-Loans. Most banks simply increase their normal loan origination fee from 1.0 point to 1.375 points to cover the cost of using our software and receiving our leads. This makes C-Loans effectively free to the bank.
To join using our guaranteed success program - effectively free to the bank - simply use this super-easy form to join C-Loans as a lender.
Rotation Joke
"I've never been to a hotel with a rotating restaurant on top, but one time I took my girlfriend to a merry-go-round, and I gave her a burrito." -- Mitch Hedberg
Referring Your Turndowns to C-Loans.com (or CommercialMortgage.com) Gives Your Customers a Good Place to Look
If you have to turn down a bank customer's request for a commercial loan, it will help him if you could suggest a place for him to look elsewhere. With 750 different commercial real estate lenders participating on C-Loans.com, if your customer can't qualify for a commercial mortgage from us, he probably won't qualify anywhere. Thank you so much!

How To Close Investor Commercial Loans When Your Loan Committee Won't Exceed 62% LTV
Suppose one of your better bank customers wants to buy a commercial building, not for his company, but rather just for investment. The deal cash flows perfectly at 75% LTV, but your nervous Loan Committee cuts the deal back to just 62% LTV. "Gosh, I have been a good bank customer for decades. I thought my own bank would take better care of me."
The sister company of C-Loans, Blackburne & Sons, raises small balance JV equity for such deals, and we'll raise as little as $100,000. We'll add our equity to your customer's down payment to create a down payment large enough to satisfy your Loan Committee.
Got a potential deal? Please complete this simple preferred equity application or call Angela Vannucci at 916-338-3232.
