MORTGAGE STUFF (C-Loans Client Letter)

You are receiving this letter because you are a commercial mortgage broker client of either Blackburne & Sons or C-Loans, Inc. Removal instructions are below. Today we'll talk about commercial loans on marinas. And as always, we have lots of great jokes, funny pics, and a clever little video for you.

Joke Du Jour

Did you hear about the teacher who was helping one of her kindergarten students put on his boots? The little boy asked for help, and she could see why. Even with her pulling and him pushing, the boots still didn't want to go on. By the time the second boot finally was on, she had worked up a sweat. She almost whimpered when the little boy said, "Teacher, they're on the wrong feet." She looked, and sure enough, they were.

It wasn't any easier pulling the boots off than it was putting them on. She managed to keep her cool as together they worked to get the boots back on, this time on the right feet. He then announced, "These aren't my boots." She bit her tongue rather than get right in his face and scream,"Why didn't you say so?!!" like she wanted to. Once again she struggled to help him pull the ill-fitting boots off. He then said, "They're my brother's boots. My Mom made me wear them."

She didn't know if she should laugh or cry. She mustered up her last-remaining grace and courage and helped the little boy to wrestle the boots on his feet again. She said, "Now, where are your mittens?" He said, "I stuffed them in the toes of my boots..." Her trial starts next month.

Suicide Joke

A green-haired girl suspects her boyfriend of cheating on her, so she goes out and buys a gun. She quitely sneaks into his apartment and finds him in the arms of a redhead. Not surprisingly, the green-haired girl is really angry but just as she opens her purse and takes out her gun, she is overcome with grief. She aims the gun to her own head. The boyfriend yells, "No, honey, don't do it!!!" The green-haired girl replies, "Shut up, you're next!"

Ski Lift Joke

As a concierge at a posh resort, I was often asked about the ski facilities. One day a couple who had just checked in after a long flight came by and asked me where the lift was. "Go down the hill," I told them, "out the door, past the pool, 200 yards down the block, and you'll see it on your right." Their tired faces suddenly looked even more exhausted, until the man behind them spoke up. "They're from England," he said. "I think they're looking for the elevator."

Marina Loans

My private money commercial mortgage company, Blackburne & Sons, is making a large loan on a marina this month. In doing some research on marinas, I learned a few things.

Did you know that the adjacent property owners do not own the land beneath rivers, streams, and lakes? The river beds, stream beds, and lake beds, up to the high-water mark, are owned by the state in trust for the public. The land under the ocean, up to the high-water mark, is owned by the Federal government.

Therefore, if you wanted to build (or maintain) a marina on a river or a lake, you would need to apply to the State Water Resources Board (or similiar agency) for a permit. If you wanted to build (or maintain) a marina on the ocean, you would have to apply for a permit to the Corps of Engineers.

This marina loan that we're making this month looks like a good deal. Please bring us some more.

Joke Joke

An Englishman, an Irishman, and a Scotsman walk into a bar. The bartender turns to them, takes one look, and says, "What is this - some kind of a joke?"

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.

Church Gossip Joke

Mildred, the church gossip and self-appointed Monitor of the Church's Morals, kept sticking her nose into other people's business. Several members did not approve of her extra-curricular activities, but feared her enough to maintain their silence. She made a mistake, however, when she accused George, a new member, of being an alcoholic after she saw his old pickup parked in front of the town's only bar one afternoon. She emphatically told George (and several others) that everyone seeing it there would know what he was doing. George, a man of few words, stared at her for a moment and just turned and walked away. He didn't explain, defend, or deny. He said nothing. Later that evening, George quietly parked his pickup in front of Mildred's house, walked home, and left it there all night.

Anonymous Joke

"The group Anonymous, an international network of computer hackers who attack websites and steal personal information in the name of justice, announced last week that they are going to war with ISIS. As if ISIS didn't already have its hands full, now they have to change all their passwords!" -- James Corden

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.

C-Loans.com is now offering business financing. Please click here if you are trying to pace a business loan not secured by real estate.

Nurse Joke

Catherine, a RN, was unhappy with her job, so she submitted her resignation. She was sure she'd have no trouble finding a new position because of the nursing shortage in her area. She e-mailed cover letters to dozens of potential employers and attached her resume to each one. Two weeks later, Catherine was dismayed and bewildered that she had not received even one request for an interview. Finally she received a message from a prospective employer that explained the reason she hadn't heard from anyone else. It read: "Your resume was not attached as stated. I do, however, want to thank you for the vegetable lasagna recipe."

Seat Belts Joke

Flying to Los Angeles from San Francisco the other day, a passenger noticed that the "Fasten Seat Belts" sign was kept lit during the whole journey, even though the flight was a particularly smooth one. Just before landing, he asked the stewardess about it. "Well," she explained, "up front there are 17 University of California girls going to Los Angeles for the weekend." "In back, there are 25 Coast Guard enlistees. What would you do?"

Hillary Joke

"New polls found that Bernie Sanders is now ahead of Hillary Clinton among Democrats in both Iowa and New Hampshire. And even Hillary's lead in national polls is dwindling. I don't want to say Hillary is upset, but this morning she was spotted shouting into a volcano, 'You said we had a deal!'" -- Jimmy Fallon
