Psst! Wanna Buy a Half-Priced Lambo?

Even if you had NO idea what a Lamborghini Huracán was worth ...

... what would be your IMMEDIATE response if I offered one to you at half-price?

I'll bet it's one of TWO thoughts:
😮 There's something WRONG with the car!
😮 This is a SCAM to take something of value from me!

This is because, as adults, we ALL have *some* familiarity with cars and money and we know how the business world works!

We understand that NO one can (consistently) sell a $345K sports car for half of market value!

And yet...

When someone posts that they will fund 100% of a real estate deal with their private funds at just 6% interest, investors lose their MINDS!!

The going rate for short-term private money is 12%.

NO private lender can stay in business making loans at half of the market rate!

 I love this post. Great click bait and it is so true. I see on BP and in FB groups the 100% financing at 4% or 6% etc. with no credit check....
