BREAKING! The Eviction Problem Just Got WORSE 😧

The eviction moratorium has completely expired and the US Supreme Court ruled against the CDC wanting to extend the moratorium. In addition to this, recently the Federal Unemployment Benefit also expired this week and the Biden Administration has no intention of bringing the unemployment benefit back as the economy is starting to open up. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uaTUQruQjKQ In this video, I’m going to unpack what this all means and how real estate investors could potentially benefit from the eviction

EIDL Grant: $10,000 Grant Update & Status (Jan 5th 2021)

EIDL Grant & EIDL Loan… I have a little bit of an update for you guys on how to get access to the $10,000 EIDL Grant and what the SBA is doing… I’m also going to provide a little bit more clarity on who qualifies for the SBA EIDL Loan. After hours of research on this, here’s the latest update for you. The COVID Package: https://rules.house.gov/sites/democrats.rules.house.gov/files/BILLS-116HR133SA-RCP-116-68.pdf The bill starts at page 2184 of the omnibus bill. (SEC. 331.) Now, very first on the top, here are the entities (or types of businesses) that qualify for the EIDL program. (1) AGRICULTURAL ENTERPRISE. (2) COVERED ENTITY – located in a low-income community AND – suffered economic injury of at least 30% in any 8 week period AND – and employs no more than 300 employees. Definition of Low-Income Community: https://definitions.uslegal.com/l/low-income-geographic-area/ (3) Verification Process (Page 2188) – The SBA may request tax returns of the business, (c) VERIFICATION.—In carrying out this section, the Administrator shall require any information, including any tax records, from an entity submitting a request under subsection (b) that the Administrator determines to be necessary to verify that the entity is a covered entity, without regard to whether the entity has previously submitted such information to the Administrator. Once the SBA re-opens the portal/application for the SBA EIDL Grant, I will provide another update!

EIDL Grant… Beware of these Scams

With the return of the EIDL Grant and EIDL Loan programs, a new surge of scammers has returned to prey on business owners! So, in this video, I’m going to give you some signs to watch out for so that you don’t fall into the hands of the scammers. I’m also going share how you can get legitimate help when applying for the EIDL Grant and the EIDL Loan Program. Explanation of the EIDL Loan Program: https://youtu.be/2qdtqjysmuw 1:31 False Representation of SBA. Very often, you’ll see social media profiles or even youtube channels with a picture of the SBA logo. Pretending to be the SBA soliciting for help. Be VERY careful as these social media profiles might be scammers looking to scam you. 2:33 Asking Sensitive Information over the phone. If the person on the phone is asking for your full social security number, EIN, address, or any other information that they can identify you with, hang up the phone. Again, these scammers may pretend to be with the SBA to obtain information from you. 3:24 Asking for an Up-front Fee 4:23 Suggesting that you should Lie or Skew the numbers 5:05 Make Sure You’re on the Right Website If you see any other website links (especially ones that are not secured – not HTTPS), chances are, they are NOT the SBA. 6:00 Practicing law or giving you tax advice If your “helper” is giving you tax or legal advice without actually being a licensed professional. (i.e. making you create an LLC and a corporation) 6:58 If you smell something shady… speak up! Get a second opinion on the process. Okay! So Here’s how you get real help for your SBA EIDL application or even your PPP application., 8:02 Talk to a local licensed professional This could be your attorney, accountant, bookkeeper, or a financial counselor that can actually represent you because they are licensed to do so. If you are a business, you should already have an accountant or an attorney that can help you with the EIDL application. 9:09 Review Your Application before Submitting Before submitting your application, be sure that YOU review them and make sure that all information is truthful, accurate, verifiable. 9:32 Fees are disclosed before you sign up Fees should be paid upon successful application. It’s okay that some attorneys charge you a small retainer upfront. 9:54 Your Professionals Need to Protect You If you ever share your private information such as credit information, your licensed professionals should understand that there are laws set in place to protect your information. Some laws also suggest that your private information be deleted after a certain period of time. 10:38 Don’t be afraid to ask any questions…

EIDL Grant: FREE $10,000 Grant | BIG changes explained…

EIDL Grant: Will We See The Return of FREE $10,00 Grant? The EIDL loan and grant were part of the CARES Act back in March. The EIDL provided business owners with a Free $10,000 grant and loans to small businesses to help with loss wages from the pandemic. Just recently, with the new stimulus package that has been making it way through Congress, the EIDL was re-introduced providing more relief to business owners. In this video I am going to breakdown exactly what has changed and the new provisions that have been implemented into the bill. Will the FREE $10,000 Grant return? Or will it only be the loan? Stay tuned to find out… Full Text of the Bill: https://rules.house.gov/sites/democrats.rules.house.gov/files/BILLS-116HR133SA-RCP-116-68.pdf EIDL Starts At Page 2184 (Sec 331) 0:00 Intro 1:25 EIDL grant/loan overview 3:00 Where to find the EIDL information 3:16 EIDL Changes 6:00 Free $10,000 grant EIDL? 8:40 EIDL loan application tutorial Application for the EIDL Loan: https://www.sba.gov/funding-programs/loans/coronavirus-relief-options/economic-injury-disaster-loans The two new provisions within the EIDL program have added extra funding for businesses that were in lower poverty areas and if your businesses has had a 30% drop in revenue from 2019. Also on top of that, the EIDL has been more strict on who can take a loan, there was several cases of fraud during the first round of EIDL grants and the SBA does not want to make that same mistake. Also in this video I take you step by step throughout the application process so you know EXACTLY what needs to be filled out and you don’t want to exaggerate or lie on this application. Reason being, the SBA will come down hard on those who are fraudulently borrowing money from the government, and as we all know, the government will ALWAYS get their money back. This round of EIDL funding is really focused on farmers and those with an actual business entity. This time, I believe you need to prove all of these qualifications throughout the application process. Just as a reminder, if you take the EIDL loan, you must agree to several stringent terms that the SBA has set forth in order to lend to small businesses. The SBA reserves the right to audit you at any time and if there is any sort of default, the SBA will confiscate assets as collateral. As for the grant, that is yours to keep, no need to repay as it is a grant. When I applied for the EIDL last round and saw the terms of the loan, I didn’t take it for my business. Also keep in the mind the EIDL loan is geared towards expenses, and NOT purchasing new things for your business. So if you had existing debt service for inventory, rent, or many other expenses, you are allowed to use the funds for that, but if you are paying a mortgage as part of your business, you CAN NOT pay it off with the EIDL loan.

EIDL Grant | SBA Investigating Frauds!!!!

EIDL Grant and EIDL Loan Applications are now being investigated for Fraud! It appears that SBA may have started investing the EIDL Grant, which is the free grant of $1k to $10k depending on your employee count, and the EIDL Loan application process for fraudulent applicants. These are the EIDL Grant and EIDL Loan application that was submitted by individuals who have no legitimate businesses and are lying on the application saying that they do have a business. An article was recently published by Washington Post about suspicious applications for the EIDL Grant and the EIDL loan and that the SBA is now beginning to take notice of this. https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2020/07/15/sba-eidl-loan-program-coronavirus/ Interestingly enough, a large number of people living in Apartment locations have applied for the SBA EIDL Grant saying that they’re an agricultural business. 2 months ago, the SBA EIDL program was indeed closed and allowed applications only from agricultural businesses. So much so that the SBA managers have begun notifying the frontline workers to screen out for suspicious applications. Such suspicious applications apparently have just the right number of employees to qualify for the $10,000 grant, applicants calling SBA specifically about the grant while ignoring the loan terms. And while this may sound funny and dumb but some applicants even put down their apartment address as the business address claiming that they run a 10-employee barbershop and an auto-repair shop. And at the same time, I know my videos have helped potentially thousands of businesses who struggled to understand the SBA EIDL Grant and the Loan program. But it is a bit disappointing and frustrating that the information has also fed the wrong mouth. Because of all the fraudsters out there, there are fewer legitimate businesses that didn’t get the chance to save their business. Now, The SBA hasn’t commented on how they’re investing – which is a smart move. Especially since if SBA does disclose their investigative methods, the same fraudsters would try to skirt around the investigations. I do have some ideas as to how the SBA will investigate fraudulent applications but I won’t even begin to name ideas … well because of fraudsters. But here’s what I think the SBA should have done from the beginning to avoid this mess and I hope to see this implemented in the near future. As soon as the CARES Act was passed, I think the SBA should have gotten to work to build an up-front algorithm or a screening tool to match all the business Tax ID to the IRS database to see if there were any taxes or business-related filings were made. SBA could have easily screened out those applications that didn’t file a Schedule C, Form 8825, or Schedule E on the personal taxes, and Form 1020, the 1020S, or the partnership tax form of 1065. When you applied for the SBA EIDL Loan or the SBA EIDL Grant, you checked off a box saying that you agree to certain terms and conditions… One of those terms and condition reads: Not only is it illegal and immoral to lie but by you falsely applying for the SBA EIDL Loan, you might be taking away something that a legitimate business desperately needs to survive right now.

EIDL Grant is now CLOSED & Second Stimulus Check UPDATE!

EIDL Grant is now CLOSED & Second Stimulus Check UPDATE! The FREE $10,000 SBA EIDL Grant has been CLOSED! What does that mean? Can you still get the SBA EIDL Loan? Can I still apply for the Paycheck Protection Program? Well, I breakdown everything here and unpackage what you need to know in regards to the EIDL Grant, the Paycheck Protection Program, and I also give an update on the Second Stimulus Check and what you can expect! RIP to the free $10K EIDL Grant 😭 But you can still apply for the EIDL loan, which still needs to be paid back and can not be forgiven. Just as a quick refresher as to what you can actually use the EIDL Loan for general operating expenses; utility costs, lease for your office space, mortgage payments, payroll, inventory obligations. But you CAN NOT use the EIDL Loan for expanding business, buying a franchise, buying any fixed assets, or can’t use the money to actually pay off your mortgage. EIDL Grant Questions Answered + Hidden Process https://youtu.be/keySGMPvRjU If you applied for the EIDL Grant before July 12, 2020, I think you will be safe and still in consideration for the free $10,000 EIDL Grant. However, if you are just submitting for that now, you may have missed the chance for the free $1k-$10k EIDL Grant but you will still be considered for the EIDL Loan! Moving on to the Paycheck Protection Program, it is STILL OPEN but with just how the EIDL Grant just closed, you can expect the same thing to happen to the Paycheck Protection Program, so if you plan on applying for the PPP, DO IT NOW! And don’t forget the PPP is open to people who are self-employed and rumor has it, the entire funding can be forgiven completely, just make sure to verify with your lender beforehand! NOW! The Second Stimulus check update! So the HEROS act has been shot down in the Senate and by President Trump. BUT the Senate is working on a second stimulus check program that COULD be given out. And within the second stimulus check guidelines, if you make less than $40,000 a year, you could qualify for a second stimulus check. And even on the White House side, President Trump is in favor of a second stimulus check. Now for the unemployment checks, for one, they are set to expire at the end of July. But there may be another extension signed into law by Congress and the Senate here shortly with a smaller amount. But others have speculated that it could be mandated by the State of residence.
