Why You Must Follow C-Loans on Facebook
You are missing important free training. It takes old man Blackburne four to five hours to write one of our popular blog training articles, but he can knock a short training article about commercial mortgage brokerage or commercial real estate finance (CREF) in minutes. In the past two weeks, he has written mini-articles on why banks hate blanket commercial loans, asset-backed securities, family offices, co-living properties, tuck-under parking, the net-worth-to-loan-size ratio, and an unknown, Federal government, mid-market PPP-like loan that can inject $5 million to $300 million into large businesses struggling to survive the coronavirus crisis.
To view these mini-lessons, come to the Facebook page for C-Loans. Look for a tab with three dots, “…”. The first drop-down selection is, “Follow.” Once you follow our Facebook page you will receive one or two free mini-lessons every week.

Place Your Commercial Loan With C-Loans

|
|
|
|
|
C-Loans.com is a true commercial mortgage portal. It allows you to create, in just four minutes, a universal mini-app. You then submit this mini-app to our 750 different commercial lenders.
C-Loans acts like a giant filter that screens out the unsuitable lenders and reduces this huge, unmanageable list of lenders down to a list of just 30 banks, credit unions, and other lenders that are perfect for your deal. You put a checkmark next to six lenders and then press, “Submit.” Within minutes, hungry lenders will be contacting you with offers. And C-Loans is free!
If you have never checked off six lenders on a list that looks like the image below, then you have never really used C-Loans.com.

Special COVID-19 Notice: The whole concept of C-Loans.com is that banks are fickle. They pop in and out of the commercial lending market on almost a daily basis. This is especially true during this COVID-19 crisis! We urge you to submit all of your commercial loans through C-Loans and to submit your deal to at least 24 different banks, six per use (just close out and come back in four times). Fortunately we just added several hundred new banks.

- Today's Observation -
Always Keep an Eye on the Price of Gold
On Tuesday the price of gold suddenly leaped up by a whopping $32 per ounce. By Wednesday, the price of gold had fallen off by $2 per ounce, and the world remained round. Chicken Little curled up and went back to sleep.
You should always keep an eye on the price of gold. It's like the proverbial canary in the coal mine. It can be a very important warning sign of danger.

A lot of people think that gold is a hedge against inflation. In real life, gold only performs so-so during times of inflation. Gold almost keeps pace with inflation, but there are far better assets during times of inflation, such as real estate. Not only does real estate increase in value during inflation, but it also throws off net rental income.
When gold really shines is during periods of deflation. Deflation??? Yup. Gold is one of the few assets that cannot default. Gold is NOT the debt of another.

Sooner or later (probably later), this bull market in stocks will end, probably after a speculative blow-off. The stock market will crater, as it does every ten to fourteen years, and thousands of companies will go bankrupt.
Important Warning:
When the stock market crashes, everything is for sale. In their rush to get liquid, investors will sometimes dump their gold first because it will have fallen the least. Gold will NOT protect you in the opening months of a stock market crash.
But as the bonds of companies with household names become worthless, gold will be one of the first asset classes to recover. Remember, gold cannot default. It is not the debt of another. This is why gold shines during periods of deflation.
Okay, so gold jumped $32 per ounce in a single day. Should you be concerned? Probably not. Gold has been falling relentlessly for the past several months, and that is a sign that the "smart money" has little fear of corporate bond defaults. Falling gold prices are very reassuring.
But I urge you to always keep an eye on gold prices. President Xi of China (the future Dictator of the World?), has been keeping a lower profile recently.
That's a very-very good thing. The U.S. needs time to build landing fields on dozens of islands and atolls in the South China Sea. Our aircraft carriers and our airfields on Guam will be devastated in China's first strike, and our wildly expensive jets will need a place to land.
Surprisingly, a NATO ally, France, sent a nuclear submarine to the Indian Ocean this month. India is proving to be an emerging world class military power, especially with the upcoming completion of their first aircraft carrier. Perhaps President Xi is realizing that he shouldn't have poked the world recently with his military. He isn't completely ready yet (to conquer the world?).

Living Forever Joke
I met a Magical Fairy yesterday, who said she would grant me one wish. "I wish to live forever," I said. "Sorry," said the Fairy, "That is the only wish that I'm not allowed to grant." "Fine," I said, "then I want to die the day after Congress is filled with honest hard-working, bipartisan men and women who act only in the people's best interests!" "You crafty bastard," replied the Fairy.

Business Purpose Rental Home Loans in Most States
Click HERE to Apply Now!
Please pay special attention to the following: Unlike other hard money brokers, Blackburne & Sons Realty Capital Corporation makes home loans with a 15-year term (30-year amortization), and there is NO prepayment penalty. Our competitors make just three-year or five-year bridge loans. Our loans are clearly better because you may want to hold the property. These loans are sometimes known as buy-to-rent loans.
Historically, Blackburne & Sons was mostly a commercial lender. This has now changed. We are aggressively aggressively seeking non-owner occupied home loans. We have already closed loans in the following states, and our attorney can quickly research your state to verify that we can lend there. Unfortunately, in a handful of states, an NMLS license is not enough.

The property has to be non-owner occupied, and the purpose of the loan must be for business. Remember, the nice thing about business purpose home loans from Blackburne & Sons is that our loans have a 30-year amortization, a 15-year term, and no prepayment penalty.

Incapacitated Joke
I was recovering from surgery, when a charity representative phoned asking me to take part in a door-to-door fund-raising effort. "Sorry," I replied, "but I've been incapacitated." Undaunted, the caller kept trying to convince me to change my mind and volunteer. I interrupted and said, "I'm incapacitated. Do you know what that means?" She hesitated. "It means your head was cut off?"

Final Funny
I was walking down an alley last night, when I heard, "Help! Help!" coming from behind a dumpster. Two thugs were trying to steal an old lady's handbag, but she was putting up a hell of a fight and wouldn't let go. I wondered if I should get involved or keep walking and pretend I didn't see anything. I finally decided that I should help. It didn't take the three of us very long to get her handbag.
