Ten REALLY Dumb Questions About Commercial Loans

I was reading an email from Don Konipol, one of the principals of Private Mortgage Financing, about some of the dumbest questions he’s heard about commercial loans. I surrender. He’s got me beat! Enjoy these laughers!

10. “If you make me a loan can I sell it?
 
9.  “Do you care what kind of dog I adopt?”
 
8. “I sold the property, but not all the way. Is that okay?”
 
7.  “Why would you hold money in escrow for repairs? Once I get the loan I can do anything I want with the money. It’s my money.”
 
6.  “Do I have to get my credit score over 500 to get a loan?”
 
5. ”It says you lend nationwide. Does that include all 50 states or just the 13 colonies?”

4. “Can I get a loan if I don’t have a name?”

3. “I Need to know the exact credit score I need to get a loan. I don’t want to pay too many bills unless I have to.”

2. I’m buying an apartment building with 6 loans. I’ll let you lenders decide who gets 1st lien position.”

1. If I don’t need the money, how much would you lend me?”

I’m not even sure which one my favorite would be. For now, I’m going with #3.
