Nice interview. However the hypothetical start-up retail store in the mall will be a tough loan for you or anyone to fulfill due to projected cash flow and limited collateral. It certainly is not within the SBA 504 loan. That brings me to franchise lending, which can vary from hotels, daycare, or fast food. But remember that much of the franchise market is fast food within retail strip centers. Within SBA lending, these are typically inexperienced, retail start-ups, with limited equity, and no secondary source of income.
They only qualify for SBA 7A loans and I do not see community banks picking up this shortfall that was not just limited to big SBA lenders such as Banco or CIT. Rather, GE was a big player in this as well, until they pulled out during late 2007.

GOOD JOB! That is exactly what we needed to do. I do hope that the SBA and government will see the value of the SBA 504 program as we try to get the economy back on track.

Truly a professional presentation. You were clear and effective in conveying the message. I simply hope that your thoughts reach the ears of those in government and we see some changes soon.

Its kind of surreal talking to you in the office one hour then seeing you on a national broadcast the next. I think you did great ! Did you notice he said "Mercantile Commercial" instead of capital, I still do it myself. Good point about how the TARP bill hasn't been utilized yet.

can't wait til the next one !

You know I just have to tell you as a fellow mortgage professional how proud I am to know you. You have taken a negative situation and turned it into a positive. I enjoyed my meeting with your Chicago team several months ago and WHENEVER I have the opportunity to do another commercial deal it is yours all the way. You are a marketing entrepreneur extraordinaire!

Great job on your second Fox interview.

This topic applied to me. One of your employees called me back from the voice mail i left for you and thought that because the 504 was limited to commercial projects, that I would not be able to get funding for a condo development project. If the rules change, let me know and we would pursue a $5M 504 loan.

Hi Chris,

Good job, Chris!! You looked good. You sounded good. Your points were right on. You need just a bit more time to be able to expand your thought line.

You looked good, sounded good.

I particularly liked the attack on the administration's
NOT contacting people actually DOING business
for their ideas.

This "NIH" syndrome is occurring all over the
country and 'pols' are messing things up even more.

Who loses? Everyone.

Keep it up Chris.

Very nice job Chris. I wish you would have mentioned Factors like your friends at LSQ Funding Group, L.C.

Chris Great Job on Fox Business News….I think you need to go sit down with our President

Hey Chris…I love your comments on TV, particularly your comment on "zombie banks"…

I wish you guys did gas stations and convenience stores. I've got the loss ratios for the past seven years by the SBA… the chargeoff rate for C & G is .092%… bottom 25%of all business classes… lots of faith promoting rumors about C & G that just ain't so!

By the way, how does one indicate their displeasure with the 504 refi program? It's very much "much ado about nothing"

Chris,
It was very apparant you know far more than the interviewer and it showed the media is just interested in getting their advertising dollars and not real solutions or the interviewer would not of kept cutting you off. Keep up the great work. You will be the winner.

Chris, well put. I liked the line about $35,000.00 being a drop in the bucket. You hit the nail on the head. Great job!

Good presentation and value.

Couple of suggestions as a media coach.

Little more energy in your voice.

Keep your hands down out of the shot. Distracting.

Congratulations!
