Private Money Commercial Loans Nationwide From $100,000 to $2.5MM

Is your client's commercial property partially vacant? Do you need a lender who will allow the seller to carry back a second mortgage? Does your client have a balloon payment coming due on his commercial property? Has your bank offered him a discounted pay-off? Does your borrower have less-than-stellar credit? We make slightly scratched and dented commercial loans.

Our hot, new product is a blanket loan against a portfolio of rental homes. Rental homes? Yup, as long as there are at least five homes or units, we consider this to be a commercial loan. We even offer a partial release clause. This loan is ideal for speculators.

Here is our latest rate sheet.

Blackburne & Sons is looking for commercial real estate loans that are not quite clean enough for a bank. Please click here to submit a hard money commercial loan or call me, Tom Blackburne, at (574) 210-6686.

Scarface Joke

In Mexico authorities captured the world's most wanted drug kingpin. He was hiding in a tiny little apartment. It was very anti-climactic. It was like Scarface saying, "Say hello to my little . . . kitchenette." -- Craig Ferguson

Please Bring Us Discounted Notes

Blackburne & Sons is competing this month to buy a $3 million first mortgage note from a bank. Why buy the note? Why don't we just refinance it? Sometimes there are junior lien holders which refuse to subordinate to our new first mortgage. By buying the entire first mortgage note, we avoid disturbing the second mortgage holder, the judgment debtor behind us, or the tax lien behind us, etc.

Fabric Joke

Walking up to a department store's fabric counter, a pretty girl asked, "I want to buy this material for a new dress. How much does it cost?" "Only one kiss per yard," replied the smirking male clerk. "That's fine," replied the girl. "I'll take ten yards." With expectation and anticipation written all over his face, the clerk quickly measured out and wrapped the cloth, then teasingly held it out. The girl snapped up the package and pointed to a little old man standing beside her. "Grandpa will pay the bill."

New Apartment Program for "A" Deals

Because we have been in the commercial mortgage business for over 33 years, and because we own CommercialMortgage.com, Blackburne & Sons has been allowed to join just five other mortgage bankers to offer an incredible new apartment loan program for "A" quality deals. These loans close in our name and are sold to an institutional investor which purchased almost $400 million in apartment loans last year.

The rate is adjusted according to the desirability of the property and the area, but it starts at 3.87% and 1 point for a 30-year fully-amortized loan. For more details, please call Tom Blackburne at (574) 210-6686.

Olympics Joke

"Speaking of medals, the United States hockey team had no trouble getting through the airport metal detector." -- David Letterman

Too Busy to Broker Commercial Loans to Us? Why Not Just Refer Them Instead? We Make It Easy!

We once paid a $21,250 referral fee. Here is our referral fee program.

Richard Branson's Jurassic Park Video

Near-extinct animals are thriving on his private island.

On a Personal Note

All my life I have loved animals and have always dreamed about volunteering at the zoo. Just a few months ago I finally got my chance. After some brief training and a Q & A session, I was given a black trash bag and a poop-scooper and tossed out into the tiger enclosure!  The tigers were in their cages, but I always wondered why the zoo keepers were so insistent that I kept my distance from them.  Last weekend, I finally learned why. As I was absent mindly searching for poop to scoop, I got "claimed" by the eldest female tiger via a urine-like stream right into my chest and face.  No one warned me that even female tigers scent mark! The trainers sure thought it was funny and I suspect was not warned intentionally...haha.

But hey, despite the smell of cat urine all over me, it was still a memorable experience. Not everyone can say they've been peed on by a tiger!

Sooo Mean!

Ukraine Joke

This situation in Kiev, in the Ukraine, is still a big story. They overthrew the government, and then a scared President Viktor Yanukovych went on the run. Now Russia has granted protection to Yanukovych. As soon as Edward Snowden heard that, he said, "Top bunk!" -- Jimmy Fallon
