4.4.2012 – Following the Rules

I was the host on a comedy show tonight. It was a great show, but not everyone was happy at the end of it. The producer was unable to be at the show, so he left me strict instructions on how to handle various situations in his absence. This included relating to the other comedians. There were certain criteria that needed to be followed in order to perform on the show. One comedian didn’t follow these rules and I had to tell him he couldn’t perform. He’s actually a friend of mine and a talented comedian, but in my role tonight, I had rules to follow set in place by the person in charge of the show. He wasn’t there watching me. I didn’t have to follow the rules, but I chose to. My friend, who I had to say no to was upset. Everyone on the show knew about the criteria ahead of time. Any that chose to not follow the predetermined guidelines experienced the consequences. It was nothing personal. It was about being responsible and respectful of the producer. It was his show.

In the world of real estate lending there are not only rules, but laws. Over the last several years, stricter laws have been put into place in an attempt to stop the unscrupulous acts that historically have been commonplace in this industry. The arena of private lenders, also known as “hard money” has been especially scarred.

I trust Source Capital. Yes I work for them, but I also know that they stay up to date on the ever changing laws that effect their work and meticulously abide by them. They don’t have to. They choose to follow them because that is the type of people they are. I see it as being respectful not only of the real estate lending authorities, but also their industry and perhaps most importantly, their clients.

When people come to Source Capital looking for a loan, they are in a vulnerable position. They need funding and may feel a bit beat up by the system by the time they get to us. Being turned down by banks when you need funding is not fun, especially when there is a sense of desperation. Instead of taking advantage of this vulnerability, Source Capital loan experts, Sacha and Pat empower their clients, helping to diminish feelings of vulnerability.
