C-Loans Client Newsletter

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 discuss just how incredibly low are the rates of conduit commercial lenders right now. We also have lots of cute, clean jokes, some funny pics, and a funny video of a border collie who has trained his neighbors to play fetch with him.

Joke Du Jour

A lost dog strays into a jungle. A lion sees this strange, new kind of animal from a distance and says with caution, “This guy looks edible. I’ve never seen his kind before.” The lion therefore starts rushing towards the dog with menace. The dog starts to panic, but, as he's about to run, he sees some bones lying next to him. Suddenly the dog gets an idea and says loudly, “Mmm, that was some good lion meat!” The lion abruptly stops and says, “Whoa, this guy may be tougher than he looks. I better leave while I can.” Sitting in a nearby tree, a monkey witnesses everything. The monkey realizes the he can benefit from this situation by telling the lion what really happened. The lion says angrily, “Get on my back. We'll go get him together.” They start rushing back towards the dog. The dog sees them, and he quickly realizes what must have happened. The dog starts to panic again; but just then he gets another idea. The dog loudly shouts, “Where the heck is that monkey? I told him to bring me another lion an hour ago.”

Place Your Loan With C-Loans

C-Loans.com is a true commercial mortgage portal. It allows you to create, in just four minutes, a universal mini-app. You then submit this mini-app to our 750 different commercial lenders.

How C-Loans Actually Works

Think of C-Loans.com as a giant filter. We start with 750 participating commercial lenders. Every time you enter more information into the application - loan amount, property type, loan type, state, credit - dozens of lenders are filtered out. Upon completion, you are left with a list of 20 to 30 perfect lenders. You put a check mark next to six lenders at a time and press submit. Soon you are receiving quotes and offers. No good offers? Come back and submit to six more lenders, then six more, and so on. And C-Loans.com is free!

Business Purpose Rental Home Loans in Most States

Click HERE to Apply Now!

Please pay special attention to the following: Unlike other hard money brokers, Blackburne & Sons Realty Capital Corporation makes home loans with a 15-year term (30-year amortization), and there is NO prepayment penalty. Our competitors make just three-year or five-year bridge loans. Our loans are clearly better because you may want to hold the property. These loans are sometimes known as buy-to-rent loans.

Historically, Blackburne & Sons was mostly a commercial lender. This has now changed. We are aggressively aggressively seeking non-owner occupied home loans. We have already closed loans in the following states, and our attorney can quickly research your state to verify that we can lend there. Unfortunately, in a handful of states, an NMLS license is not enough.

Unfortunately these states are out:

• Idaho
• Minnesota
• Nevada
• North Dakota
• Oregon
• South Dakota
• Utah
• Vermont

What about YOUR state? If you have a real-life deal, we’ll hire our attorney to quickly research its availability.

The property has to be non-owner occupied, and the purpose of the loan must be for business. Remember, the nice thing about business purpose home loans from Blackburne & Sons is that our loans have a 30-year amortization, a 15-year term, and no prepayment penalty.

Conduit Loan Rates Are Soooo Low

Conduit loans, also known as CMBS loans, enjoy a fixed rate for a whopping ten years. Unlike a fixed-rate commercial loan from a bank, there is no rate readjustment after five years. The rate is fixed for the entire ten years. With ten-year Treasuries at just 0.79%, there has never been a better time in history to get a ten-year, fixed-rate conduit loan.

 

Conduit loans are priced at some negotiated spread over the higher of ten-year Treasuries or corresponding interest rate swaps. Today (3/8/20), ten-year Treasuries are at 0.79%, and ten-year interest rate swaps are at 0.81%. Therefore we will use the higher of the two indices - interest rate swaps.

Okay, but what is the spread or margin over the index? Conduits are pricing their office, retail, and industrial commercial permanent loans at 140 to 290 basis points over the index. Therefore, we are talking about conduit commercial loans priced at between 2.21% to 3.71%. Wow! 

So who gets the 2.21% rate, and who has to pay 3.71%? It depends on the loan size, the risk, the debt yield ratio and the tenancy. The larger the deal, the smaller the spread. The safer the deal, the lower the spread. For example, if your property is located on Madison Avenue in New York City, you will enjoy a lower spread than a deal located on a nice retail street in Salt Lake City. Madison Avenue is a more proven location.

There are some properties, however, that sell for such incredibly low cap rates - for example, Madison Avenue in New York City - that the debt yield can be too low. This is a bad thing. Sometimes the debt yield ratio on that Salt Lake City property can be more attractive to a CMBS investor.

The quality of your tenants also determines your spread over the index. Quality refers to strength of your tenants. If you have a shopping center anchored by Target or Krogers, you will enjoy a tighter spread than a shopping center anchored by a mom and pop grocery story.

How To Generate Commercial Leads Like Turning On a Spigot

Have You Been Screwed Out of a Big Loan Fee Yet?

Whenever someone boasts of being a good horseman, I always ask him, “Have you ever been thrown?” The correct answer is, “Many, many times”. There is an old saying, “If you ain’t been thrown, you ain't ridden very much.” The same is unfortunately true of commercial mortgage brokerage. You will screwed out of a loan fee of $10,000 or more at least twice per year for your entire career. Now I am NOT talking about the borrower closing the loan and not paying you. That rarely happens. What these dastardly borrowers do is lie to you or cancel on you. You would be a flipping idiot not to pay a lousy $199 for my ninety-minute video training course, Fee Collection For Commercial Mortgage Brokers. It includes my famous fee agreement. Go ahead and ignore this section. You will cry, I absolutely guarantee you.

Final Funny (PG-13)

An old man goes to confession. He tells the priest that on Friday night, he’d been in the bar, when he met a young woman. “She was maybe 22,” he says. “She was a gorgeous blonde. I started lusting, Father.” “Yes, lust is a dangerous sin.” says the priest. “There’s more,” says the man. “We went back to her place and made passionate love for hours.” The priest pauses. “And how long has it been since your last confession?” “This is my first confession ever, Father." “How is this your first confession?” asked the confused priest. “I’m Jewish,” answered the old man. “Then… why are you telling me all this?” asked the priest. “Telling you?” said the old man, "I’m telling everyone!”
