But First, A Financing Update…
“Deals are getting financed!! Not all of them and not always at the terms originally agreed upon, but banks are at least evaluating loan packages. Some banks, like Wells Fargo, well represented by Scott Foster, are aggressively seeking deals and giving fast response times to “go” or “no.” Local community banks are getting more involved with the SBA process and tying it to existing conventional purposes. “Out of town” banks are also slowly re-entering the marketplace. Are things back to normal? Far from it. While it may seem that things are moving at glacial speed, it’s still a big improvement on the mass retreat we’ve experienced.”
