Joke Du Jour
The French will eat almost anything. A young cook decided that the French would enjoy feasting on rabbits and decided to raise rabbits in Paris and sell them to the finer restaurants in the city. He searched all over Paris seeking a suitable place to raise his rabbits. None could be found. Finally, an old priest at the cathedral said he could have a small area behind the rectory for his rabbits. He successfully raised a number of them, and when he went about Paris selling them, a restaurant owner asked him where he gotten such fresh rabbits. The young man replied, "I raise them myself, near the cathedral. In fact, I have a hutch back of Notre Dame."

Peacock Joke
The highlight of our zoo trip was a peacock showing off its plumage. My four-year-old son was particularly taken with it. That evening, he couldn't wait to tell his father. "Dad, guess what! I saw a Christmas tree come out of a chicken!"
Been There. Felt This. Ouch!
Permanent Loans Versus Bridge Loans
A permanent loan is a first mortgage on a commercial property with a term of at least 5 years and which has at least some amortization. The most common amortization schedule for commercial loans is 25 years. Basically, a permanent loan is just a garden-variety first mortgage on a commercial property. Most permanent loans are made by banks, conduits, life insurance companies, and recently credit unions.
A bridge loan is a short term commercial real loan - usually in a first mortgage position - that is designed to bridge some gap in time. During this time period, the property owner might renovate the property and/or lease it out. Bridge loans are expensive, but bridge lenders pride themselves at being able to close a commercial real estate loan in less than a month.
Bridge loans are often made by private money (hard money) lenders, but they are not the only source of bridge loans. I know of only three commercial mortgage REIT's in the country (there are surely more), and each one of these REIT's is primarily a bridge lender. There is at least one life insurance company that has a bridge loan subsidiary, and each of the money center banks (Bank of America, Wells Fargo Bank, etc.) also has a bridge loan subsidiary. Finally, there are a number of "hedge funds" (funds where every individual investor is accredited) and fund of funds (mortgage investment funds where the largest investors are hedge funds themselves) that make bridge loans. JCR Capital is an example.
BUT, and now we come to the point of this section, not every hard money commercial lender is a bridge lender. Surprisingly, my own hard money commercial mortgage company, Blackburne & Sons, is actually a permanent lender! Huh? Yeah. Only a small portion of our income comes from loan origination fees. We actually make 15-years loans, and we cry every time we get paid off early. The reason why is because we make most of our dough from a profitable loan servicing fee.
Therefore, if you place a commercial loan with Blackburne & Sons, our points are no higher than anyone else, our loans have no prepayment penalty, and our loans have a 15-year term. There is nothing worse than having a balloon payment come due on a commercial property in the middle of a recession. Yikes!
Do you need to place a commercial real estate loan of any size or type? You definitely should enter the deal into C-Loans.com. It's free! And remember, C-Loans has closed over 1,000 commercial real estate loans totaling over $1 billion.
Monopoly Joke
"There are reports that a movie is in the works based on the game Monopoly. They say the movie will be just like the game because it's four hours long and it ends with your family fighting." -- Jimmy Fallon
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.

Ashley Madison Joke
"Ashley Madison claimed that there were over 5.5 million women looking to have an affair on their site, but recently it was revealed that only 12,000 women were real and the rest were computer-controlled robots. A former user named David Poyet is suing them for misleading him. That's right, a guy on Ashley Madison feels cheated." -- Conan O'Brien

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.

Firearms Joke

Clone Joke
A scientist, on hearing the miracles of cloned sheep, decided to ignore all warnings and clone himself. Soon he would have another him; doubling his work capacity and providing company on those all-night research binges. But a problem developed. His new double looked just like him, sounded just like him, and acted just like him; but whenever he spoke a pure stream of filthy language spewed forth.
The terrible twin talked such a blue streak he made dead sailors blush. Soon, the scientist could take it no more. He lured his lewd lookalike to an ocean cliff, crept up behind him and pushed his dirty doppelganger over the edge. He stayed just long enough to see the rude replica disappear into the surf, then slipped quietly home, free at last! But he didn't get away with it. The whole thing had been seen by neighbors. Eventually he was arrested and charged with making an obscene clone fall.

Course Adjustment Joke
One foggy night, as the admiral was walking along the deck of his battleship, he saw the light of another ship approaching in the distance. Quickly he went down to the radio room and had a message sent: "Adjust your course 10 degrees starboard." But the message came back "Adjust your course 10 degrees port" This began to anger the admiral, so he thought he needed to make himself clear. He sent the message "This is an order from an Admiral. Adjust your course 10 degrees starboard." But the message came back "I am a petty officer, second class. Adjust your course 10 degrees port" If the admiral was angry before, he was furious now. No way did he take orders from a petty officer! He ordered a message sent which would make his position clear. "This is a nuclear battleship. Adjust your course 10 degrees starboard." And again the message came back "This is a lighthouse. Adjust your course 10 degrees port."

Final Funny (PG-13)
Shortly after take-off on an outbound evening Air Lingus flight from Dublin to Boston, the lead flight attendant nervously made the following painful announcement in her lovely Irish brogue, "Ladies and gentlemen, I'm so very sorry, but it appears that there has been a terrible mix-up by our catering service. I don't know how this has happened, but we have 103 passengers on board, and unfortunately, we received only 40 dinner meals. I truly apologize for this mistake and inconvenience.” When the muttering of the passengers had died down, she continued, "Anyone who is kind enough to give up their meal so that someone else can eat will receive free, unlimited drinks for the duration of our 5-hour flight.” Her next announcement came about 2 hours later: "If anyone is hungry, we still have 40 dinners available."
