COMMERCIAL BROKER NEWSLETTER

You are receiving this letter because you either wrote to us or you are a commercial real estate broker client of either Blackburne & Sons or C-Loans, Inc. Today we’ll explain the concept of effective rents. We also have lots of cute, clean jokes, some funny pics, and a hilarious video of a little Jack Russell Terrier.

Joke Du Jour

While riding my Harley, I swerved to avoid hitting a deer. I lost control and landed in a ditch, severely banging my head. Dazed and confused, I crawled out of the ditch to the edge of the road, when a shiny new convertible pulled up. The driver was a very beautiful woman, and she asked, "Are you okay?” As I looked up, I noticed she was wearing a low cut blouse with cleavage to die for…

"I'm okay, I think," I replied, as I pulled myself up to the side of the car to get a closer look. She said, “Get in, and I’ll take you home so I can clean and bandage that nasty scrape on your head.” "That's nice of you," I answered, "but I don't think my wife will like me doing that!” "Oh, come now, I’m a nurse," she insisted. "I need to see if you have any more scrapes and then treat them properly.” Well, she was really pretty and very persuasive. Being sort of shaken and weak, I agreed, but repeated, "I'm sure my wife won't like this.”

We arrived at her place, which was just few miles away, and after a couple of cold beers and the bandaging, I thanked her, saying "I feel a lot better, but I know my wife is going to be really upset so I'd better go now.” "Don't be silly!" she said with a smile, while unbuttoning her blouse, exposing the most beautiful set of boobs I’ve ever seen. "Stay for a while. She won't know anything. By the way, where is she?” "Still in the ditch with my Harley, I guess.”

First Words Joke

My son crawled for the first time while I was away on exercises. I also missed Harry's first steps and was afraid an upcoming course would cause me to miss his first words. Each day, I called home and asked if he had spoken yet. The answer was always, “No," until my wife said Harry had something to say to me. "Daddy, daddy," I heard over the phone, and glowed with pride. My wife came back on the line and said, "You should come home as soon as possible.” "Why?" I asked. "Harry was speaking to the dog.”

Today's Lesson: How To Compute Effective Rent

One of my loan officers was working on an unusual commercial loan this month. The tenant had a very seasonal cash flow. The lease called for several months with no rent payments at all every year, several months each year with double rent payments, and one month each year with triple rent payments. How should a lender handle such a situation?

The answer is to compute the effective rent of the building over the term of the lease. Simply add up the total rent due over the term of the five-year lease and then divide by sixty months to arrive at the effective monthly rent.

Hot-To-Trot To Make Fix and Flip Loans

Blackburne & Sons is making a huge push into fix and flip lending. Of course we will still make our private money permanent loans on commercial properties nationwide; but we are now also looking to make fix and flip loans in most states across the country.

Please click here to submit a fix and flip loan or a private money commercial loan or call me, Tom Blackburne, at (574) 210-6686.

Golf Shoes Joke

Jack decided to tie the knot with his longtime girlfriend. One evening, after the honeymoon, he was cleaning his golf shoes; his wife was standing there watching him. After a long period of silence she finally speaks. "Honey, I've been thinking, now that we are married I think it's time you quit golfing. Maybe you should just sell your golf clubs."

Jack gets this horrified look on his face. She says, "Darling, what's wrong? And Jack says, "There for a minute, you were sounding like my ex-wife." "Ex-wife!" she screams, "I didn't know you were married before!" And Jack replies, "I wasn't."

Private Money Commercial Permanent Loans Nationwide From $100,000 to $3.5MM

Do you need a purchase money lender who will actually go to 75% loan-to-value? Banks never actually close deals at 75% LTV. Blackburne & Sons has decided to compete against banks by being far more aggressive on loan-to-value ratio. We are very bullish on commercial real estate.

Do you need a lender who will allow the seller to carry back a second mortgage? Does your client have a balloon payment coming due on his commercial property? Has your bank offered him a discounted pay-off? Does your borrower have less-than-stellar credit? Is your client's company losing money? Is your borrower a foreign national?

Do you need a non-recourse loan? Do you need a commercial loan with no prepayment penalty? Is your client's commercial property partially vacant? Do all of your commercial leases run out in the next 18 months? Do you need a lender who will allow a negative cash flow? Do you need a lender who will also look at the borrower's global income - income from salaries, other investments, etc.? Do you need a loan against a portfolio of single family homes?

Here is our latest rate sheet.

Blackburne & Sons is looking for commercial real estate loans that are not quite clean enough for a bank. Please click here to submit a private money commercial loan or call me, Tom Blackburne, at (574) 210-6686.

Married Jesus Joke

"A controversial 1,200-year-old document has been found that shows evidence that Jesus was married. I don't believe it. What married guy gets to spend all his free time with his 12 buddies?” — Conan O'Brien.

Fix and Flip Leverage

You can get amazing leverage on fix and flip financing these days. Apply for a fix and flip loan here.

Fix and flip lenders, including Blackburne & Sons, will loan you 75% to 85% of the cost of the dilapidated house, plus 100% of the cost of the renovation, plus a four-month interest reserve.

Quite frankly, it's a helluva deal. Few other industries offer this kind of leverage. If you are not already flipping houses, it is something that you should consider.

I just wrote a wonderful article that explains everything you need to know about fix and flip financing.

My blog also has a number of very helpful articles about fix and flip financing. All of my 400 blog articles are free training lessons in commercial real estate finance. If you want to become a more successful broker, be sure to subscribe to my free blog.

Overworked Joke

A priest had the weight of the world on his shoulders and was showing the effects. The church sent him to a psychiatrist, who ordered him to take a week off. So the priest left his religious paraphernalia behind him and went to a neighboring city. He got himself a nice room and went to the hotel bar to relax with a couple stiff drinks.

A waitress in a short skirt and low-cut uniform came over and asked, "What'll it be, Father?” The priest felt to see if he was still wearing his collar by mistake, but he had none on. "How did you know I'm a priest?" he asked. The waitress said, "I'm Sister Mary Margaret. We go to the same psychiatrist!"

Only Blackburne & Sons Can Do This:

Blackburne & Sons has some truly unique and super cool programs:

  1. We'll give you a bridge loan on your commercial property for only one point! There is no prepayment penalty.

  2. We allow sellers to carry back a second mortgage behind our first mortgage.

  3. We will actually lend up to a 75% loan-to-value ratio. Banks claim they will lend up to 75% LTV, but in real life they will only go 68% LTV.

  4. We offer private money (loosey-goosey underwriting) commercial loans with 30-year payments and a 15-year term. Our competitors offer 2- to 3-year bridge loans. We offer 15-year permanent loans with no prepayment penalty. Never again will you have a balloon payment come due during a recession.

  5. We have a terrific apartment permanent program that can compete with agency loans.

  6. We buy commercial first mortgages (usually at a discount).

  7. Instead of discounting your wonderful commercial first mortgage, consider pledging it as collateral for a smaller loan. This is called a hypothecation. We make loans secured by mortgage notes owned by the borrower.

We had a Jack Russell named Jack. He drove us crazy, but we have never loved any dog more.

On a Personal Note

This past weekend I took my family to Chicago as a quick spring break trip. To no surprise, The Windy City lived up to its name; it was cold, windy, noisy, and busy. But we didn't let the weather spoil our fun. We went to the Shedd Aquarium where we saw every type of creepy crawler under the sun. We then went to the highly-anticipated American Girl store and cafe, where we ate lunch and spent a hour in line just to get our doll's hair 'professionally' combed. Yikes! After the long wait, we ate dinner at The Rainforest Cafe, and topped the night off with a swim in the hotel pool. We had a blast!

Final Funny

A thief and his girlfriend were walking down Main Street when she spotted a beautiful diamond ring in a jewelry store window. "Wow, I'd sure love to have that!" she said. "No problem, baby," the thief says, throwing a brick through the glass and grabbing the ring.

A few blocks later, his girlfriend was admiring a leather jacket in another shop window. "What I would give to own that!" she said. "Sure thing, darling," the guy says again, throwing another brick through the window and snatching the coat.

Finally, turning for home, they pass a Mercedes car dealership. "Boy, I would do anything for one of those!" she said to her boyfriend. "Forget that!" the guy moans. "Do you think I'm made of bricks or something?”
