The emotional engine that powers whining is the same as the engine that powers bullying.
Planning on booking a meeting? Great! Step 1 - honestly ask yourself "Is this meeting necessary?" As the likely answer will be no, stop booking the meeting!
I worked at a bank once where we had a customer named: El Elsie LLC. Did everyone get that?
I am not the right lender for everybody. I'm ok saying that. For everybody else? I might well be the right lender.
Here is an unpopular opinion: yards after the catch should not count as passing yards for the quarterback.
Did anyone else find it harder to screen share after a recent MS Teams update?
The industry norm is that an #SBA option be used as a last resort for a lender. Borrowers deserve an informed decision and sometimes eligibility issues force you to go with a non-SBA option. All good. However, IMO the industry norm is backwards.
It feels more just that Ron ended up with Hermione instead of Harry.
What is an addback? An addback is an expense that the seller reports on their P&L that a buyer should not incur after the acquisition. Could be a non-recurring expense, could be a cost the buyer knows they can save...or it could be hot air from the seller. Discern accordingly.
In an inflationary environment, borrowers win. If tomorrow's dollars are less valuable than today's, borrowing puts something more valuable in your pocket today to be repaid with something less valuable tomorrow. High leverage isn't always ideal, but inflation is a factor.
If you sign an agreement with your lender agreeing that you won't pay your seller loan before X amount of time passes, and your seller acknowledges they have to wait by also signing said agreement, and then you the buyer prepay it anyway, this is a really bad idea.
Going through the #SBA loan process? A good rule of thumb: if you blow your nose, keep a record of the kleenex. You'll thank me later.
I have a son trying to get recruited to play college soccer. I am very intentional about being hands off during the process and letting him lead the charge, but it is its own part-time job.
Today, I learned that the way banks use the phrase "bridge loan" is not exactly the way everyone outside of banking uses that phrase. TLDR: if your loan is a bridge to nowhere, it's not a bridge loan. It's just a loan.
Three of my colleagues forgot to throw in for our gift to our admins for #AdminProfessionalsDay . So yeah, their names aren't going on the card. #FAFO
Your seller can either change title companies within a week of closing, bump up the closing a day so they can leave for vacation, or not be a jerk. They can't do all three though.
Schools should have regular, school-wide 30-second dance parties.
Just used this gif again today. It's one of my staples and it really is too perfect for the right application.
