Now that the crooks are trying to liquidate them? "The Daily Capitalist Blog" said It is different at the regional and local banking level. Most of them held on to their bad loans as long as they could to avoid recognizing losses, which would require them to either raise more capital or fail. The banking regulators have largely facilitated this approach by suspending mark-to-market rules, requiring them to take TARP money, plus other accounting rules.

But these lenders cannot hold back the flood. Both commercial and residential real estate continues to decline in value. There was so much overproduction (malinvestment) that four years after the crash the problem still festers. The result was that these banks tightened up lending standards, were wary of committing to new loans, and kept bad projects on life support hoping that things would turn around. Thus the credit crunch. They are the lenders that one-half of American businesses rely on for credit.

But now is there a growing trend to liquidate these investments

I’m involved in a new venture generating high quality loan leads in the finance sector. A range of verticals are involved such as commercial mortgages, unsecured business loans, equipment leasing loans, mixed use loans, cash advance business loans etc etc.

The leads are to be generated by SEO techniques and can be sorted for literally any combination of field settings needed. They can be exclusive if need be and will be immediate.

Long term I hope to negotiate a fruitful relationship with lenders and/or brokers, but in the mean time I need somewhere to pass the leads on to, at least until I can provide traffic figures and lead gen stats to potential partners.

I know of Leadpile, Leadvibe and such places but they tend not to deal in the verticals I am intending to work in. Are there any companies that will take all the leads I generate/or some until I’m able to get a foot-hold in the market?

We are entering into a short sale on our 2nd home (a vacation home). We have assets, piece of commercial property, in good standing on our primary residence. Have deep savings accounts, etc. We will want to sell our primary home and move to another home in a year. Will this be possible with a short sale on our credit? Will lenders overlook if you have the assets to cover the transaction?

i bought a 10 unit apartment complex for ,000. it was recently appraised as-is for 5,000. i am looking for ,000 to fix up.

in going to lenders they are saying they WILL re-finance once fixed up. same seems true thru banks.

is there a source of funding available to provide repair costs on a project?
this property has been vacant for 10+ years. the running rate on a one bedroom apt. is 0/month

I have heard about financing 80% and having the seller carry 20% but most properties where sellers are willing to do this are just not viable.

I currently own and have been managing a duplex for 4 years and would like to expand into more units/properties. I have considered going through a hard money lender but most of them still want 15% investment from me. Shame to say I don’t have that kind of capital available. I have also considered doingan assumable loan deal where I try to assume the existing loan on the property, but I am not sure if its anything like the regular home loan assumptions.

I have sought advise from some lenders and brokers, but the brokers are always approaching form the perspective of charging as many fees as they can get away with and I am not sure if I can trust them, seeing as my own buyers agent was somewhat misleading when I purchased my home.

I see a lot of really great properties in my area that have really great financial s, and the tenants don’t poop on them on apartment ratings that I would like to buy.

I guess if anyone knows any other creative way I can finance with very minimal out of pocket costs or know a lender that will work with me, I would appreciate a response.

two different lenders: same client. when client was in default with lender number 1, lender number 1 notifies lender number 2, who the client was not in default with, and passes along that information. the harmful result was that clients credit relationship with lender number 2 which was in good standing, had credit line withdrawn based on negative information from lender number 1.

Special favors and contracts to certain companies and private contractors, billions in bailouts to the largest banks and lenders, loans and bailouts to "too big to fail companies," the Federal Reserve which consists of private banks that make private profits from controlling the US money supply, special laws/treaties/agreements that favor corporations (NAFTA, eminent domain, China as the most favored nation, low import tariffs for Chinese products, government subsidized incentives to outsource, etc.)–when will there be a separation of corporation and state?

The deal would bundle the bill into an expedited budget package along with the Democratic health care legislation, which would allow for both measures to be passed by the Senate on a simple majority vote. Without the deal, the student loan bill would have been unlikely to pass because it lacked the 60 votes needed to overcome a filibuster.

The bill would end government payments to private, commercial student lenders, leaving the government to lend directly to students. It would also redirect billions of dollars to expand the Pell grant program for low-income students, and to pay for other education initiatives.

NOTE: "…because it lacked the 60 votes needed to overcome a filibuster."

I found a apartment in Kansas that is worth 27 Million dollars and i will like to ask can you give me names and phone numbers or even website of lenders who can give me 100% seller financing?

Also Can a apartment that never had debt do have no apraisal?

please give me a answer thank you
The apartment building is 98% occupied good cash flow
The seller said that the property has no dept that the reason why they dont have a appraisal

According to the nations largest commercial real estate firm, Marcus and Millichap, lenders are not liquidating distressed properties. Instead they are holding them and collecting the income until the market changes by paying management companies to run and improve the cash flow of the foreclosed businesses, shopping centers, apartments, etc.

All of a sudden banks are seriously in the commercial real estate business! They are not making new loans. Commercial loans and SBA loans are down somewhere like 95 percent this year!

Since banks made bad decisions to begin with why are they allowed to hold these assets instead of liquidate them like they should? A troubled bank should not be able to afford to hold these assets, let alone hire a management company. Are they able to afford it because of the bailout?

I am real estate salesperson for the commercial real estate industry and I’m upset because without loans, I have no business. Commercial sales in my office is down like 90 percent this year, and I work in an office with like 250 agents!

This is an existing Bed & Breakfast home stay (NOT an inn). It is NOT zoned commercial. The previous owners used it as their primary residence and we would too. There are a total of 5extra bedrooms that we would provide transient lodging from. I’ve gotten differing answers from various lenders. We have been approved for an FHA loan. Since this IS our primary residence, can we Proceed?

FROM A RETIRED BANKER

Written by Jack Kelly

Lending money to people who probably won’t pay it back isn’t good
Business. If you wrap crummy loans in a clever package, they’re still
crummy loans.

Your typical Wal Mart shopper understands this. But the Masters of the
Universe on Wall Street and in Washington evidently didn’t.

Ostensibly to aid the poor, the Clinton administration and Congress
Encouraged lenders to give mortgages to poor credit risks. The
Combination of easy money and the expansion of the number of borrowers
By extending loans to poor credit risks sent housing prices through the
roof, creating the bubble whose bursting has led to this crisis.
Congress in 1999 repealed the law (the Glass-Steagall Act) that
established a bright line between commercial and investment banks.
This meant bad investments by banks could jeopardize depositors.
Wall Street created ‘derivatives’ which multiplied profits in good
times, but which also multiplied risk if there were defaults.

Most important was corruption and mismanagement at the Federal National
Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae) and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage
corporation (Freddie Mac), which together controlled 90 percent of the
secondary mortgage market.

Once your bank has lent you money to buy a house, it can’t lend the
money again until you pay it back. But if your bank sells your
mortgage, it can make another loan right away. Without the secondary
market, most of the funds for home mortgages would dry up.

Fannie and Freddie went broke because they had bought billions of
dollars worth of subprime mortgages, on which borrowers defaulted when
the housing bubble popped. Fannie bought most of its bad mortgages from
Countrywide Financial, whose CEO, Angelo Mozilo, gave sweetheart loans
to senior executives of Fannie Mae.

Fannie and Freddie cooked their books so senior executives would be
paid millions of dollars in bonuses to which they were not entitled.
Inadequate regulation kept the book-cooking from being discovered
until the crisis had become a catastrophe.

President Bush proposed regulatory reforms in 2003 but Congress took
no action. In 2005, John McCain and three other GOP senators proposed
a strong reform bill. It died when Democrats threatened a
filibuster.
When the bill was reintroduced in this Congress, Sen. Chris Dodd, the
New Democratic chairman of Banking Committee, refused even to hold a
hearing on it.

Democrats opposed reform in part because they feared it would mean
fewer loans to poor people.

‘Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are not facing any kind of financial
Crisis,’ Rep. Barney Frank, D-Mass, told the New York Times when the
Bush bill was introduced. ‘The more pressure there is on these
Companies, the less we will see in terms of affordable housing.’

I want to request a loan on Prosper.com for ,000, to study a foreign language abroad for a year and a half, with the ultimate goal of landing a job as a translator with a DoD contractor, the recruiter for which I’ve already lined up the slot for. I get the training, I get the job. I can’t get a "conventional student loan" because this school is not on the "approved" lists. I have good credit, so I’m sure I can get the loan.

Here’s the thing: It’s a full time study course. I can’t be employed while I study there. So I need the repayment of the loan to be deferred at least 6 months after I graduate. I can complete my studies in 1.5 years.

Will I be able to defer my first payment until after I graduate? I know conventional and private education lenders (like the Astrive student loan commercials say) will defer, but will Prosper lenders do it?

If not, can you point me in a direction?

Thanks for any responses.
I figured they wouldn’t. The name of the school is The Fajr Center For The Arabic Language. www.fajr.com. Maybe someone can point me in the direction of a lender who handles this kind of situation.

Thanks for the response.

I will be attending a recording workshop next month and some prior financial arrangements fell through… The school is a technical school and I only need about ,500.00. Compared to other school loans this is change, but I need this loan before January. I know that it has to be a private student loan but I’m really not quite sure how to go about it and the pros and cons of lenders. I see commercials from Astrive and such, but I’m not sure if a place like that is my best bet. Any comments will help. Thank You.

Where is the best place for a new real estate investor to apply for commercial loans? There are many banks and online lenders offering commercial loans, so out of the thousands of options, where is the best place to start? I have read many books, but none seem to be updated with the current options the internet provides. If someone could recommend a good book on commercial real estate financing, that’d be great too. But my main question would be, where is the best place for a new commercial real estate investor to get a loan (for real property, not a business loan)? Thanks.

I filed for bankruptcy two and a half years ago after getting divorced. I am now trying to buy an existing bar/grill. All the lenders I spoke to will not loan to me till after my bankruptcy is off my credit report(another 7 1/2 years), even though my credit score is average, I have money down, collateral, cosigner and would have equity in the business property.
Does anyone know somewhere that would consider giving me funding???

I want to offer commercial loans. I am runnimg into lenders that do the loans themselves. We want to send in broker packages to them and sell their loans. Moreover, we would like to find lenders that offer interest only loans.. Thanks

I'm considering getting into commercial real estate loan brokering and I would like to find out how many point lenders usually pay on these types of loans. I know the amount can vary, but I'm looking fo a range so I can calculate my possible commission. For argument's sake let's say an average loan amount would be .5 million. But, any info on how the system works on loans larger or smaller than that would be helpful also. Thanks.

I am looking to refinance a gravel pit, but am having a hard time finding a lender. Do you know of any lenders that specialize in this area?

I would like to buy a 8-unit apartment building for 3K

from what i have found most lenders want about 20% down.
Can i find a lender with little or no down payment?
I can pay other things like prepayed insurance, escrow, ect. but the 20% is kind of high.

Can anyone sugest any lenders?
Any sugestions?

I have worked hard in the past year, and managed to raise my fico score to low 600.

I have only a few bills to pay off.
once I pay these off I will raise my score to get financing to invest in real estate.

Once I pay these off I could raise my score tremendously.
To do this I'm willing to pay a high interest rate.

Ae there any interested lenders?
