Subprime Loan

     Q:What is the definition of subprime loan?

     A:A subprime loan means lending the amount below the ‘prime’ rate of interest to people with low credit ratings. Thus it is given to people with an imperfect credit profile or the ones that are likely to be defaulters. This makes the recovery of a subprime loan very risky for the financial institutions, which lend these kinds of loans. Subprime lendings come in two forms: credit cards and mortgages.

     Content:

     This type of lending system evolved during 1993, when the financial institutions realized that there was a high demand for loans despite low creditworthiness. In a frenzied urge to earn more, the banks began lending below the prime rate even though many borrowers qualified for prime loan bracket. Today around 25% of the population of America falls under the category of subprime loan borrowers. The purpose of borrowing such loans is property purchases, cars purchases, remodeling homes, meeting living expenses or even repaying the high interest on credit cards. Read the rest of this entry »

Student Loan Default

     Students are not professional in loans.For example,I have asked many experts before I apply the loans.

     Consequences of Student Loan Default

     Repaying student loans provided under the Federal Student Aid Programs usually begins 6 to 9 months after a person graduates or drops out of school. In case of ‘The Smart Option Student Loan’, provided by Sallie Mae, the borrower is expected to pay only interest when he is in school, while after graduating he has to make both principal and interest payments.

     Lenders have their own repayment schedule, and any delay in making payments can have serious consequences. For instance, in case of Federal loans, which are repaid in installments, default on even a single payment can result in accelerating the repayment schedule for the remaining amount of the loan. The government can take away or ‘garnish’ 15% of a students disposable income as penalty. A portion of social security retirement benefits and disability benefits might also be withheld. Access to other  Federal loans may be restricted. Of course, both government and private lenders can sue a person for defaulting, not to mention the impact of such a default on credit scores. A student loan default can remain on record for 7 years. Hence defaults should be avoided at all costs.

Short Term Installment Loan

     Q:What is the definition of the Short Term Installment Loan?

     A:A short term installment loan is a type of short term loan, wherein the money borrowed has to be repaid in a shorter period of time, usually 1 - 5 years. The only difference is that unlike other short term loans, a short term installment loan is to be repaid in parts at regular intervals. A short term
installment loan can be taken for various purposes, like, purchasing a motorcycle or a flat screen television or a personal loan.

     More details :

     The application process for this kind of loan can be usually completed with the help of a form that is available on the lender’s website. After the application, the process of sanctioning begins. During the sanctioning process, the lender takes into consideration many factors. One of the first factors that is taken into consideration by the lenders during the sanctioning routine is the credit history of the borrower. The credit history is a rating of the creditability of the borrower, evaluated on the basis of past loans that have been borrowed. The second factor that is considered is the periodic income of the borrower. The applicants of short term installment loans can be classified into two types, namely the employed people and the self employed. The self employed people find it a little difficult to avail a short term installment loan due to the fact that lenders are hesitant to avail these loans to self employed people. In the case of such applicants, they have to prove their income projection to the lenders. One of the common ways to do this is to submit a list of all the up coming payments due from clients or customers and also a list of reliable debtors. If a self employed applicant has not already borrowed any other long or short term installment loan, then the chances of the short term installment loan getting approved are very good. The employed applicants who have a pretty good credit history, usually find it easy to get the approval for a short term installment loan. Read the rest of this entry »

Why Banks Say No To Our Applications

     This is really a bad news when our commercial loan applications are rejected by the banks.And this article will analyse the reasons and give you a strategy.

     Commercial projects are frequently too unique for traditional commercial banks. In these situations (even if a commercial borrower has favorable tax returns and an adequate business plan), it is not unusual for commercial borrowers to be declined for a commercial loan by a traditional commercial lender. Commercial borrowers are likely to be confused when they are turned down and will be unsure as to why it happened and what to do next. For each of the five major reasons that a bank might decline a commercial loan, a practical strategy is provided for converting the declined commercial loan into an approved commercial loan.

    REASON # 1 FOR COMMERCIAL LOAN REJECTIONS

     A bank’s loan officer or loan underwriter is not satisfied that the business plan provided by the commercial borrower supports the requested loan.

     STRATEGY # 1 FOR CONVERTING THE DECLINED COMMERCIAL LOAN INTO AN APPROVED COMMERCIAL LOAN

     Most commercial borrowers will benefit directly from dealing with a commercial lender that does not require a business plan due to the following major benefits:

     (1) Reduce commercial loan costs by thousands of dollars. A common range for an average business plan (prepared to typical bank specifications) is $5,000 to $10,000.

     (2) Reduce commercial loan closing time by several months. Business plans can be prepared before or after applying for a commercial loan, but either way the net extra time required will probably be 1-2 months or more.

     (3) If the lender does not require a business plan, there is one less item standing between the commercial borrower and their approved loan.

Common Business Loan Mistakes

     In this post ,you will see some common mistakes in business loan.Maybe you are a very wise man.But these tips can still remind you!

     Finding a competent business loan expert will give you a head start on your competition & also let you focus on running your day-to-day activities… instead of dealing with the hassles of establishing a strong business credit rating. An excellent business credit score can help your company’s image, overnight. And, finding a small business loan expert isn’t that difficult. You just need to know where to look.

     Now… let’s get started… before you start applying for any business loans!

     1. How is your business structured? Is it a sole proprietorship, C-corporation, S-Corporation, Limited-Liability Corporation (LLC), Partnership, or Trust?

     2. How long has your business been recognized by your State & Local government?

     3. Has your company ever had derogatory information reported against it to either of the two (2) most popular business credit reporting agencies, Dun & Bradstreet or Experian?

     4. Are your commercial permits, licenses and registrations current?

     5. Does your business have a physical address, or are you trying to use a U.S. Post Office Box instead?

     6. Is your business telephone number recognized by directory assistance?

     7. Are your incoming telephone calls professionally answered in your business name?

     8. Have you established a business checking account?

     9. Have you registered & asked for an Employer Identification Number (also known as an EIN) from the IRS?

     If your answer to the first question was a sole proprietorship, partnership or trust; I urge you to re-establish your company as a corporation or LLC. I’m not going to provide you with legal advice, but many CPAs and attorneys highly recommend LLCs (Limited Liability Corporations) as a way of protecting your personal assets & estate… in the event of any lawsuits being filed against your company.

     As a sole proprietor, your personal assets are at direct risk of seizure or forfeiture when faced with most types of legal action. Additionally, if you are applying for business loans in a corporation’s name… most lending institutions will not require you to provide any personal guarantee! Read the rest of this entry »
