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 the difference between underwriting commercial loans based strictly on the debt service coverage ratio and underwriting them on a global income basis. And as always, we have lots of great jokes, funny pics, and an amazing video for you.
Joke Du Jour
The sheriff of a small town was also the town's veterinarian. One night the phone rang, and his wife answered. An agitated voice inquired, "Is your husband there?" "Do you require his services as a sheriff or as a vet?" the wife asked. "Both!" was the reply. "We can't get our dog's mouth open, and there's a burglar in it."

Tooth Fairy Joke
I was playing tooth fairy when my daughter suddenly woke up. Seeing the money in my hand, she cried out, "I caught you!" I froze and tried to think of an explanation for why I, instead of the tooth fairy, was putting the money under her pillow--but her next words let me off the hook. "You put that money back!" she said indignantly. "The tooth fairy left that for me!"

Global Underwriting of Commercial Loans
When you apply for a commercial real estate loan from a bank, the bank is legally required to make sure that the deal cash flows. In fact, the bank will usually insist on a 1.25 debt service coverage ratio. The debt service coverage ratio is defined as the property's Net Operating Income (NOI) divided by the annual debt service on the proposed loan, all multiplied by 100%.
Debt service is just a fancy way of saying the principal and interest payments on the proposed loan.
It makes a difference whether you compute the debt service coverage ratio using annual numbers or using monthly numbers. The proper way - the more conservative way - is to peform this calculation using annual numbers.
The problem is that often the borrower cannot qualify for a large enough commercial loan if the loan amount is based solely on the debt service coverage ratio.
Private money lenders, like Blackburne & Sons, have an advantage in that we can consider outside income, like the borrower's salary or his other net rental income. When you underwrite a commercial loan using outside income, its called global income underwriting.
This is George III (the founder and old man) writing to you today. I am extremely bullish on the future of the U.S. economy, so I have recently asked Blackburne & Sons' Loan Committee to loosen up on our underwriting. We will now make commercial loans up to 70% loan-to-value... and up to 75% on many deals.

Whiskey Fishing Joke
The rain was pouring down. It was cold. And there, standing in front of a big puddle in the middle of the city square, was an old Irishman, drenched, holding a stick, with a piece of string dangling in the water. A passer-by stopped and asked, "What are you doing?" "Fishing,” replied Pete. Feeling sorry for the old man, the guy says, "Come on, there's a pub. Have a drink with me, and let’s get out of the cold rain." In the warmth of the pub, as they sip their whiskies, the guy asks Pete about his fishing, "So how many have you caught today?" "You're the eighth.” says Pete.
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.

Italian Bread Joke (PG-13)
The 87-year-old told his younger friend, "Well, I eat Italian bread every day. It keeps your energy level high, and you'll have great stamina with the ladies." So, on the way home, the 80-year-old friend stops at the bakery. As he was looking around, the lady asked if he needed any help. He inquired, "Do you have any Italian bread?" She said, "Yes, there's a whole shelf of it. Would you like some?" He said, "I want five loaves." She said, "My goodness, five loaves? Don't you think that by the time you get to the fifth loaf it'll be hard?" He replied, "Holy sh*t ... does everybody in the world know about Italian bread but ME?!"

Eye Exam Joke
The blonde went to an eye doctor to have her eyes checked for glasses. The doctor directed her to read various letters with the left eye, while covering the right eye. The blonde kept getting mixed up as to which eye was which; so the eye doctor, in disgust, took a paper sack, with a hole to see through, and put it on her head to cover up the appropriate eye. Then he had her read the letters.
As he did so, he noticed the blonde had tears streaming down her face. "Look," said the doctor, "there's no need to get upset about getting glasses." "I know," agreed the blonde, "But I kind of had my heart set on wire frames."

Retirement Dinner Joke (PG-13)
A priest was being honored at his retirement dinner after 25 years in the Parish. A leading local politician and member of the congregation was chosen to make the presentation and to give a little speech at the dinner. However, the politican was delayed, so the priest decided to say his own few words while they waited.
"I got my first impression of the parish from the first confession I heard here. I thought I had been assigned to a terrible place. The very first person who entered my confessional told me he had stolen a television set, and, when questioned by the police, was able to lie his way out of it. He had stolen money from his parents, embezzled from his employer, had an affair with his boss's wife, taken illegal drugs, and had given an STD to his cousin. I was appalled. But as the days went on, I learned that my people were not all like that. I had indeed come to a fine parish full of good and loving people..."
Just as the priest finished his talk, the politician arrived full of apologies at being late. He immediately began to make the presentation and gave his talk: "I'll never forget the first day our parish priest arrived," said the politician. "In fact, I had the honor of being the first person to go to him for confession."
