Here
is another passport to success in taking advantage of a good deal or
profitable
transaction when it passes your way. "Signature loans are your
key
to the vault", and because they are based on your signature alone, they
are
also known as "Character Loans". No co-signer or collateral is
involved
in
a real signature loan.
With
pen in hand, based on your prior credit history and also your own
experience
with the bank, your signature can draw from $1,000.00 to
$250,000.00. It all depends on your ability to pay the
money back.
Once
you get your first signature loan with a bank, walk in on the day it
is
due and pay it off with two cashier's checks or with two different stacks
of
money. The first check or money stack
will be to cover the principal of
the
loan. Be sure to tell him how well you
did for yourself as you hand over
your
payment. Tell him not to make any plans
for the money as you may need
to
rent it again soon. As you pay back the
interest portion of the loan,
remind
the loan officer that your good performance and his smart decision
to
give you a loan in the first place was a profitable experience for the
bank
as well. Remind him that it's the rent
paid on these loans that keeps
the
bank in business.
Now,
let's suppose that your original loan was for $3,000.00. As you get up
to
leave the bank, turn to him and say, "Oh, by the way, I may want to rent
$5,000.00
in a couple of weeks. Will you hold on
to $5,000.00 for me?"
What
you are doing is pre-qualifying for a $5,000.00 loan. You are saying,
"Hey,
Mr. Loan Officer, are you going to raise my next signature loan to
$5,000.00
or is $3,000.00 the limit?" What
can he say? You have just paid
off
the $3,000.00 loan, and the rent for the loan, and you have just
reinforced
the point that the rent, or interest, on the loan is what keeps
the
bank in business and pays his
salary. If he answers with something
like
"We'll see.", sit back down at his desk and say, "You mean
you're not
sure? What seems to be the problem?"
It
is very important at this point that you get some kind of answer from him
in
advance. It is very unlikely that a
"Yes" will come forth, but a "sure"
or
"I suppose" will do. Do not
leave the bank until he commits to the next
loan. With each new loan, raise the dollar amount
by $2,000.00 increments,
until
you have reached $10,000.00. At that
point, you will be able to raise
the
amounts of future loans in $5,000.00 and $10,000.00 increments.
When
shopping for aggressive banks, ask the loan officer you are deal-ing
with
if they are a "commissioned" loan officer. They are the most aggressive
as
they are paid a commission on all the loans they write. These people will
be
more eager to make you a loan.
