A horse of a different color.There is no way around usury laws as they are based on the APR and the APR includes any fee, expense, points (pre-paid interest) or cost paid to obtain the loan.Charging a flat fee, like $3000 is simple computed as points would be, the fee divided by the amount loaned equals a factor, the same as points.
