______________________________________________________________
It’s been a while coming, but
Little Rock now has a fully functional website – www.littlerockprivatemortgage.org
I have a new email address (the old
ones will still come through to me, now and forever more) - steven@littlerockprivatemortgage.org
We still have our blogs, but have decided to join the 21st century. Be
merciful. I built it. I’m no IT expert, but I think it does the job. I hope you
do too.
I’d appreciate it, and you might understand a little more about what I do; what
you may expect from me and vice versa.
I have also
undertaken a mutual cross-promotion initiative. "Improve Business",
"Improve Life"
From this we can all benefit if
you’re of a mind too. You are probably aware that I do not deal
directly with borrowers, relying on your professional expertise, analysis
(prior to submitting to me to save each other a lot of time) and provision of
evidence and explanation. If I don’t “get” a deal in the first 30 seconds, then
it’s probably not a deal for me anyway. From the outset, I accept what you say
as being, as the current saying goes, “Church”. Capable of evidenciary support
if it’s not already present. The more of that evidence, and the more detailed
the written explanations at the outset, the more the tone is set for a
successful outcome.
I mention this for two reasons. It is the cornerstone of a mutually
successful relationship. Secondly, for the purposes of cross promotion, I have
begun a programme called “Improve Business”, “Improve Life”, the beginnings of
which you will see on the new website. We are all linked and should be helping
each other by directing traffic to each other’s website.
Even in its infancy, this process has worked well to date.
This
cross-promotional support also benefits those not in finance - eg Accountants,
Solicitors, Financial Planners, Private Investors (Lenders) and just about any
other provider of commercial goods and services .
As I’ve said previously, we are all connected, and use of the Interwebs can benefit
us all. Let’s help each other. Not really a new concept is it? It’s just that
very few do it any more!
It has not been attempted before to any scale. There will be more and
more “Improve Business”, “Improve Life” updates with time, and my reasoning is
explained under those tabs on the website.
To achieve this, I am prepared to promote your business by linking to
your website under the “Improve Business” tab. When I do I send out a promotion
via Linkedin, where I have a significant following, Facebook, Google+, Twitter
and the blogs under my control. In return, I ask that you also link back to my
website. The fact that the link even exists is a plus for SEO purposes. If it
is used, so much the better, and I also undertake to visit your website at
least twice per week, asking the same in return. It’s simple and takes a couple
of moments.
Search Engines love it!
As I do not deal with borrowers directly, I would of course enquire as
to the source of referral, should one contact me directly through your site.
They would be referred straight back. My role is to prepare due diligence and
final submission for my tight-knit group of private investors; raise capital;
oversee settlement; manage loans (including default recovery) and discharge. I
also rely on your assistance as appropriate in these areas. I have no interest
nor time to liaise with borrowers. That’s your job. In this way, we all
benefit. So for those who are interested in taking a pro-active interweb marketing
approach, you should talk to me.
I will insist on a Confidentiality Agreement regarding my private
investors. After all of my years in this business, I have lately been let down
in that regard.
As to current opportunities, I have far more funds than
acceptable deals … there are plenty of proposals, but few that I
consider worthy. But it cannot hurt to talk. If I do not think there is a deal
with completion potential, I will tell you, based simply on what you advise.
It’s then up to you to prove it up in your proposal.
WWW.LITTLEROCKPRIVATEMORTGAGE.ORG is the place to go.
I would be interested in feedback – though be merciful. I built it myself, and
as I said, don’t profess to being an IT expert.
OH, AND BY THE WAY, THERE WILL SOON BE AN UPDATE ENTITLE – “NOW HERE’S A
FIRST, WE CAN DO A SECOND!”
Though I’ve shied away from them for all of these years, I now have a
reliable and realistic professional private (not institutional)
investor who is prepared to consider a well put together second
mortgage proposal where each of the parties will benefit – and that, by
te way, is the key to my approach for all things … if everyone
benefits, then it’s probably a deal. If a borrower is trying to shift the risk
to the lender but retaining all of the potential benefit, then it’s probably
not.
I ask that you click on the new website, and trust that I will hear from
you.
