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 broken condos. And as always, we have lots of great jokes, funny pics, and a disturbing video of a real life black panther stalking a man.

Joke Du Jour

A woman was having a passionate affair with an inspector from a pest-control company. One afternoon they were carrying on in the bedroom together when her husband arrived home unexpectedly. "Quick," said the woman to her lover, "into the closet!" and she pushed him in the closet, stark naked. The husband, however, became suspicious and after a search of the bedroom discovered the man in the closet. "Who are you?" he asked. "I'm an inspector from Termite Busters," said the exterminator. "What are you doing in there?" the husband asked. "I'm investigating a complaint about an infestation of moths," the man replied. "And where are your clothes?" asked the husband. The man looked down at himself and said, "Those little devils..."

Toilet Water Joke

"California is suffering from a terrible drought; but scientists have come up with a plan to convert toilet water into drinking water by a rigorous three-step purification process. That's all it takes to convert sewage into the water that I then drink? I wish they hadn't even told me how many steps they use. Just lie to us, okay? Tell me the toilet water is filtered 3,000 times." -- James Corden

One unusual loan product that we offer is our blanket loan against a portfolio of rental homes. We will also hypothecate notes and buy commercial loans at a discount.

Mexican Heritage Joke

"Donald Trump is continuing to draw criticism for his claims that Judge Gonzalo Curiel's Mexican heritage makes him unfit to preside over a lawsuit against Trump University, despite the fact that Curiel was born and raised in Indiana. And when Trump found that out, he said, 'Oh, no, he's an Indian, too?'" -- Seth Meyers

How Did That Work Out For You?

Today's Training Subject: Broken Condos

A broken condo is a residential condominium project that fails. Most often, the units are completed, but the original developer is only able to sell a handful of the residential condos. The construction lender invariably forecloses, and for legal reasons the unsold condo units are sold off en masse (as a group).

Many times an investor will buy them en masse (as a group) from the bank and operate the units as apartments. Few lenders will finance such condos because of the potential trouble with the homeowner's association. It is almost always underfunded. Because there are few owner-occupants, the homeowner's association also usually lacks leaders.

You can find lenders for broken condos on C-Loans.com. Just apply for an apartment loan but describe the deal as a broken condo in the Special Issues section.

Blackburne & Sons will also make these loans if some investor is buying five or more units. The loan becomes a commercial loan at that point.

Organic Joke

My wife asked me to buy organic vegetables from the market. I went to the store, looked around, but couldn't find any. I therefore grabbed an old, tired looking employee and said, "These vegetables are for my wife. Have they been sprayed with any poisonous chemicals?" "The produce guy looked at me and said, "No. You'll have to do that yourself."

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.

Feeding the Baby Joke

A first-time father was taking a turn at feeding the baby some strained peas. Naturally there were traces of the food everywhere, especially on the infant. His wife came in, looked at the infant and then at her husband staring into space. "What in the world are you doing?" she asked. He replied, "I'm waiting for the first coat to dry, so I can put on another."

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.

Bishop Joke

We were celebrating the 100th anniversary of our church, and several former pastors and the bishop were in attendance. At one point, our minister had the children gather at the altar for a talk about the importance of the day. He began by asking, "Does anyone know what the bishop does?" There was silence. Finally, one little boy answered gravely, "He's the one you can move diagonally."

Aging Computer Joke

"You could use your old computer to shop for a new computer online. But that seems kind of cruel, doesn't it? Like asking your dying spouse if he or she has any cute friends." -- Scott Ostler

Final Funny - Naughty But Hilarious (R)

A little old lady is walking down the street dragging two large plastic garbage bags behind her. One of the bags rips, and every once in a while a $20 bill falls out onto the sidewalk. Noticing this, a policeman stops her, and says, "Ma'am, there are $20 bills falling out of your bag." "'Oh, really? Darn!" says the little old lady. "I'd better go back, and see if I can find them. Thanks for telling me." "Well, now, not so fast," says the cop. "How did you get all of that money? You didn't steal it, did you?" "Oh, no", says the little old lady. "You see, my back yard is right next to the football stadium parking lot. On game days, a lot of fans come and pee through the fence into my flower garden; so I stand behind the fence with my hedge clippers. Each time some guy sticks his thing through the fence, I say, '$20 or off it comes.'" "Well, that seems only fair." laughs the cop. "Okay, good luck! Oh, by the way, what's in the other bag?'' "Well, you know", says the little old lady, "not everybody pays."
