COMMERCIAL MORTGAGE TERM SHEET
If you plain, old-fashion, need the money, honey - we are the right commercial mortgage lender for you. We are a hard money lender, and you know what they say about hard money lenders. We're eeeasy!
But Blackburne & Brown is an upside-down hard money lender. Instead of charging lots of points up-front, we charge only 2 .5 to 3.5 points up-front. And instead of making just the typical one or two year hard money loan, we make fifteen year loans! This allows you to use us as a very inexpensive interim lender, yet keep our money for as long as you need it.
How can we do it? Blackburne & Brown makes the vast bulk of its income off a very profitable 1.9% loan servicing fee that we charge our private investors. One hundred and ninety basis points?! That's huge. Conduit servicers earn a lousy 25 basis points, if they're lucky. No wonder we like long term loans, huh?
As a result, we are also very willing to finance many of the no-exit-strategy properties that no other lenders will touch. This includes restaurants, trailer parks, residential care homes, independent motels, car lots, churches, and even land - in addition to all the normal stuff.
And man, are we ever hot-to-trot! Our paperwork requirements are tiny - an old financial statement, two years' tax returns and some color photo's. And we'll approve your loan often the very same day we receive your package. Eight hour approval time. Can you live with that?
Okay, what's the bad news? Our rates are kinda high, typically 12.9% to 14.9%. But that's it. Our third party report fees are tiny when compared to most institutional lenders, and we do not charge any sort of application fee, inspection fee or good faith deposit. Zip-zilch-zero. Nada. The only bad news is our rate, and if you or your borrower only intends to use our loan for a year or two, the difference in rate is a small price to pay for speed, convenience, and a complete freedom from any prepayment penalty.
The bottom line is this: Do you, or does your client, really need the money? If so, we will be your super-hero.
