@therobertbrooks@1JoeSpringsteen Good idea. FYI I just closed a transaction for a borrower who came to me with a 5.95% CL from US Bank. I lowered his rate on the RE/Business acquisition combo to 5.05% fully amortizing for 25 years with 5 year IR resets. He was located in Tennessee. DM me if interested.
@ThinkAppraiser And that type of wealth has most likely been created not earned in the traditional sense. Young people today should learn how to create wealth not earn it through hard work. You learn how to create wealth through fee generation and then business acquisition then real estate.
Tip when receiving a wire
1. Always require a call to verify wire instructions after they have been emailed.
2. After verbal confirmation clearly state these instructions will not change
@MaxArmand Yes, but living in Texas or Nevada and 51% of the time because you’ve probably structured your nest egg later in life is the most Alpha move of all time. In the meantime, I’ll enjoy my 10 minute drive to the beach all 365 days a year.

@Micha_Siegel@patrickdichter The SBA allows non-manufacturers to borrow $5MM in SBA 7(a). Combining a Pari Passu with 7(a) the limit jumps to $9MM. The SBA also allows up to $15MM or more in SBA 504 (Only the 2nd DOT counts) I discuss all of this here -> https://t.co/xWujG9keNo
The SBA loan process is not just a financial review.
It is a character review.
The borrowers who win are usually not the loudest.
They are the most prepared.
Confidence in the borrower changes everything.
At SBA Central, the goal is not just helping clients find lenders.
The goal is helping borrowers become bankable before the file ever reaches underwriting.
Preparation changes outcomes.
The borrowers who win are usually not the loudest.
They are the most prepared.
And when lenders trust the borrower, everything in the SBA process becomes easier.
How to Kill Your SBA Loan Application Before It Ever Gets to Underwriting
Getting approved for an SBA loan is not just about numbers. Long before underwriting, the bank is evaluating something even more important:
You.
• Match with the right SBA banks
• Avoid unnecessary underwriting red flags
The SBA process is not just a financial review.
It is a character review.
Banks are evaluating who you are as a future long-term banking partner.
