I have learned a ton from it, and I look forward to being around, and meeting people in the community in the the future.

Hi BP community, What is the industry norm (average) for referring a customer to a business broker who is looking to buy a business?

Hello a little new to the scene here but love the community!

Can't begin to say how impressed and motivated I am to have found this community.  

Following the Great Recession, the Big Banks (with $) convinced Congress that it was all the fault of the Local Lenders who live in the communities we lend in & can throw rocks from our back yards to hit the roofs of houses that we've financed. 

I work with non profits that provide community based living services for individuals with special needs. 

Hello BP community.

I am excited to meet people and learn from the community :)

I am not sure how big the company is, but in central PA I know "Community First Fund" will give loans w/ higher interest to people or companies that do not qualify for a traditional bank loan.  

I thought I would present this situation to the BP community and ask their advice and opinion on the whole concept of paying off debt versus using Real Estate as a vehicle to help you reach your goals.
