The 5 Musts of Marketing
For most of the small business owners I work with, marketing has become the equivalent of a four-letter word. Inevitably, when I ask the question, "Do you have a marketing plan?" or "What marketing activities do you engage in?" I get the full gamut of responses from the proverbial deer in the headlights stare, to a vociferous, "I hate marketing, it's the least favorite part of my business!"After years of witnessing this reaction, and learning a bit about modern marketing, I'm starting to understand why tradit

Jordan Taylor: I recently heard from a new investor who was buying a property at below-market value and had a 5 percent down payment, but the bank said because it was an investment, the down payment needed to be 20 percent. What would you suggest that she do?

What's very important to always keep in mind is that when you take out a loan, the lender is not doing you a favor. The lender is going to make money on the deal through the interest on the loan and various other fees, such as points and closing costs. You're the customer, and you should be treated that way.

JT: If the bank is going to make money on the deal, why do they turn down loans?

Unfortunately, sometimes strict rules don't allow a bank the flexibility to work with a creative real estate investor. But just because one bank turns you down doesn't mean you can't get the deal funded. That's why you need to look at other lending options.

JT: That's easy for you to say--your name is Russ Whitney and people are probably lining up to give you money. What's the best way for an ordinary person to do that?
