I cannot endorse the source, but interesting nevertheless. As a side note, I noticed that US BANK (aka Useless Bank) now offers lease-financing up to $200,000. I doubt they are true leases or fmv’s, but still. . . interesting.
Are you missing out on millions of lending opportunities? This may be the case for lenders using older, outdated conventional scoring models.
Well, here it is. It is official. On May 1 of this year, exactly twenty years to the day I opened the office door for business, I decided to retire. This last Friday, I closed my office door after closing my last transaction. It has been an interesting run and I have truly enjoyed so many moments, especially from my mentors and supporters. Many of the NAELB people and others have become very close friends, advisors, confidants and, thankfully, we stay in touch. It is bittersweet to walk away, but truly looking forward to this next chapter in life. Transitions are tough and we are staying positive whenever possible. My deep thanks to everyone along the way who helped us become successful. As with my other, smaller botanical venture, I will leave the page intact until FB decides it is truly inactive. Again, my deepest appreciation and thankfulness for all your support. 🙏🏻
