PRIVATE CLIENT NEWSLETTER

Volume 3: Issue 4 | Date: July 1, 2019

You are receiving this letter because you are either a high-net-worth client of Blackburne & Sons Realty Capital Corporation (since 1980) or you once applied for a commercial real estate loan of $1 million or more using C-Loans.com or CommercialMortgage.com. Blackburne & Sons and C-Loans, Inc. are sister companies.

Today we are going to talk about clearing gangsters out of REO's. We also have lots of cute, clean jokes, some funny pics, and a hilarious video compilation of bad ideas!

Joke Du Jour

"I quit smoking pot. I quit because I saw this commercial on TV - you may have seen the same one. It's the one where this kid gets all his buddies together. They're gonna go in the basement, and they're gonna smoke some weed. So, he goes to get his marijuana out of his marijuana container, but there's no pot inside. There's just a note on a rolling paper. It says, 'We need to talk. Mom.' That's crazy, 'cause a very similar thing happened to me, but my note just said, 'I owe you a dime bag. Mom.’" — Jeremy Schachter

Off Drugs Joke

"Want your kids to stay off drugs? Simply show them pictures of what we used to wear in the 60's and 70’s. 'You see this shirt with the collar going all the way down to the elbow? This is what happens when you take drugs.’" — Anthony Griffith

Earn Up to 12% Interest in Your IRA or Your Kid’s College Fund

It is important that you please grasp the concept that you could be borrowing from Blackburne & Sons against some rental or commercial property at the very same time that you are using your IRA to invest $30,000 in one of our first trust deed investments. Many of our biggest trust deed investors first came to us twenty years ago as commercial property borrowers.

You probably have money set aside for your retirement and for the cost of college for your children and grandchildren. It shouldn't all be invested in the stock market. In California, the first trust deed investment business is huge. A recent law change - the JOBS Act - now allows accredited investors nationwide to also invest in these same first trust deeds and first mortgages.

Bully Joke

"I wouldn't go to school. I thought all the kids at school were going to beat me up, which is absurd. They couldn't all beat me up - someone had to hold me down." — Eric Kornfield

Very Reasonable Investment Scheduled to Yield 26% Annually

As you consider this investment scheduled to yield 26%, please keep in mind that Blackburne & Sons has been in business for almost forty years, and that I am an attorney licensed in both California and Indiana. This is a real life deal, and I personally believe that this is the best investment we have ever offered in our 39 years in business (established 1980). Why? Because this developer has built sixty hotels. Sixty! Is this a risk-free investment? Of course not, but he probably got pretty good at building hotels after his third completed hotel.

Butt-Kicking Joke

"One time, I got beat up by a kid named Jesus. And when you're seven, you can't tell the difference between Jesus, a typical Puerto Rican name in your neighborhood, and Jesus, the actual savior. So I was walking around all confused -- you know, guilty. What had I done that the Lord would send his only begotten son down to Brooklyn to kick my (butt)?" — Billy Santiago

Amore Joke

When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie, that's amore!

When you swim in the creek and an eel bite your cheek, that's a moray!

Clearing Out Gangsters From REO's

I have an investor buddy who has made many, many millions of dollars by buying up distressed apartment building in low-income, high-crime, and high-drug-use areas. 

When he buys these buildings, they are largely vacant, dilapidated, and infested with gangsters. So I asked him yesterday how he clears out the gangsters. These guys have guns, and they have drug and prostitution businesses to protect. One gang in one of his buildings even had the address of his building tattooed on their upper arms. Think about it. How large of a private army would it take to clear one of these buildings? After all, these gangsters have guns, and they are not afraid to use them.

So how many gunshots did it take to clear out the worst of his buildings? Not a single gunshot. Not a single swing of a billy club. Here is how he did it:

Responsibility Joke

"Having a baby is a huge responsibility. It's like a five-year commitment." — Chelsea Handler

Noah Joke (Cute One For the Kids)

Q. What lights did Noah use on his ark?

A. Flood lights, of course.

Here's Why You Want to Stay Close to Blackburne & Sons

Founded in 1980, Blackburne & Sons is an old-time syndicator. There are very few of us left. The Tax Reform Act of 1986 pretty much nuked the whole syndication industry off the face of the Earth. Because you know a syndicator, you now have access to some special money.

If you need a fix and flip loan, a buy-to-rent loan, a bridge loan, or even a permanent loan on, say, on your single-wide trailer park in Georgia, we'll make you a private money loan. We've been syndicating hard money loans for 38 years.

If you have some dough set aside for your kid's college, and you want to be extra careful with it, we'll put you into a first trust deed investment (8% to 12% yields) on, say, a nice 8-unit apartment building in San Jose, California.

Let's suppose you are richer than Crassus, and you want to speculate in 11% and 12% first trust deeds. We've got them.

Do you find yields of even 11% to 12% too tame? Want a chance to earn 16% or 25%? We put together syndicates to provide developers with construction equity:

Do you own any first mortgage notes? Want to sell a note at a discount? Better yet, why not simply borrow against it? This is called a hypothecation, and we do 'em.

Please be very wise and play close attention to the following:

 

Because every loan we make is a new syndicate (as opposed to a fund investment), Blackburne & Sons is always in the market.

When the stock market has fallen by 40%, when real estate values are falling like a knife, and when your own bank is too terrified to lend you a dime, Blackburne & Sons always has a group of savvy investors willing to lend - admittedly at a price - when blood is running in the streets. We are one of a tiny handful of lenders who remained in the market, making loans, every single day of the Great Recession.

So stick close to us. Syndicators are pretty rare, and now you know one. 

Hips Joke

"I never had hips. It's because I don't have kids. Everybody tells me that once I have a kid, I'll grow some hips. That's cool, but what do you do with the kid?” — Retha Jones

Apply to Blackburne & Sons For a (Very Soft) Hard Money Loan

Here is a scenario that might tickle you. You could have $100,000 from your self-directed IRA spread out among four or five first trust deeds from Blackburne & Sons, and at the very same time you could be borrowing $250,000 from Blackburne & Sons on an apartment building that you are fixing up in Boston. Not every hard money lender is the same. Our loans have a 30-year amortization (almost interest-only), a 15-year term, and no prepayment penalty. You never want to have a hard money loan ballooning during a recession.

Final Funny

"Did you give the prisoner the third degree?" the police captain asked the detective. "Yeah, we browbeat him pretty good," nodded the other. "Asked him every question and made every threat we could think of.” "And did you get a confession?" asked the sergeant. "Not exactly," explained the officer. "All he'd say was, ‘Yes, dear’, and he'd doze off.”
