Post: The bankers code

Thanks for the info?

I understand raising capital. Could you or anyone provide any resources or examples to learn more about this.

I don't understand why someone would loan me $ at ex 6% no collateral then I loan at 10% hard money which would be ltv of 65% or lower, secured by collateral (real estate),plus points. The other points is lending on what??? my credit,sales pitch, ???

The only way I can see getting these terms are traditional financing which would highly doubtful/impossible I would think.

I thought maybe a line of credit would work(I have a small one) but I don't know if the spread would make sense. I'm not sure what I'm paying on interest, but my loans would have to have a much higher rate. Also it seems you would have to have a pretty big line of credit.

I'm looking for any answers anybody could provide, and thanks in advance for your help.

Thanks for your comment... May I ask why do you feel the program would be cut? I'm very concerned with the debt situation, just because I feel that the government wastes so much of the money it collects. I dont really identify with a political party by the way.

I do believe we differ a bit from Greek or Eurozone countries bc we issue our own currency and have the reserve status. Those other countries dont. So I would think that cutting those programs would be suicide. But I do hear people such as you who seem to think that the government will.

Which is why I'm very interested in all viewpoints, bc I just dont have enough life experience, knowledge, or wisdom to make the best decision myself. (Not Yet) Could you or anybody explain why you feel this way?
