    When a funder looks at the risk of the file and offers the rate and term good ones just do not look at the credit score. They look at the content which contains the usage levels late payments length of credit inquiries time frame of oldest accounts. They also look at the industry to see who that industry performs on their book and industry as a whole if they can. They look at the length of the term and dollar amount. They take all that into consideration and price the deal out on what there willing to risk. The longer the term goes out with more money there is more for them to loose of the deal goes bad in 6 months on a 12 month term for 100k than a 10 month term at 85k.

    Bingo. Every funder has a different risk appetite and expected ROR.

    To blast a funder on a forum for the risk they want to take so an iso can make more commission is bs. The iso probably hardly funds deals with that funder and wants them to pay him more on the file. They did not make money on prior deals with that iso and probably wont get more in the future to make up for some of the lose god forbid that deal defaults.

    100k at 1.32 for 12 months (250 days). The payments are around $520 daily ($2600 weekly) Commission of???
    100k at 1.32 12 months would pay us 5 points to the house as per funder. no up sell.

    85k at 10 months at 1.20 buy rate with 12 point max up sell is more attractive but the term kills the deal for merchant

    Meanwhile I could fund the 85k at 10 months making 12 points double the commission.

    so the funder built in 12 points to make 1.32 and increase 15k that I didn't ask for... and increase term by 2 months. that justifies 5 point commission on a solid file,

    No I ll take it to Kapitus, Credibly, Mulligan, IOU and never use you again. And let all my iso's know to beware with the tactics used by this funder and the uw team.

    if that's how you do deals Peng.. and you think it's normal....than now I understand why you really don't see alot of paper....

    We (Elevate) did not give him that offer, we don't do business with him.

    He was speaking in hypothetical, we did not give him that offer and we do not work with him.

    When a broker or funder puts in a companies name hypothetical or not it is not good. Most people will jump to conclusions and no reason if it was not that company.

    I don't send any files to elevate at all.
    no exceptions. that is my personal preference. I will not divulge the funder that I had this experience with, because that's not me.

    Just sharing with my fellow Funders the scenario.

    I have been funding for a long time and this is just shady character in the industry.... but new reps deal with it and probably take the offer.

    I am a living dinosaur in the market place and I know better

    I was simply giving an example.

    Elevate did not touch or see this file at all.

    My apologies for the confusion

    when a funder engages on a thread...an example can be given afterwards.

    but if you jump to conclusions... that is on you

Why only make 5k or 10k?
    you are a clown writing this statement. that shows you are not funding....

    I funded him with Quarterspot couple of times and Mckenzie a couple of times and some other Funders I will not mention....but we know where these guys are at now. I received some way better offers today from A Paper Lenders. All is good.

    Moral of the story, if you know the file than just do not accept any offer from the funder. And that takes years of experience.

    My major goal with all my merchants is retention and providing the best offer possible.

    That will give you a long lasting book of business.

    A wise man once told me many many years ago the renewals is the mash and gravy. The new deals are the steak dinners. But you want to keep the mash and potatoes for as long as you possibly can. Than you will never starve in this industry......
