Why are SBA Loans a Bad Idea?

[@jlara36]

An SBA loan is not the problem, paying only the minimum payment on any loan is the problem. Also, taking on debt that you can't afford is a problem.... but it's not the SBA loan in and of itself thats a problem. So no, SBA loans are not a bad idea if you have a plan.... no debt is a problem if you have a plan on how to use it and pay it back. If you have a business, you're going to take on some type of debt, you just have too unless you have a ton of cash sitting in your bank account that you can use to finance your business. But usually thats not the case. You're going to have to take loans out somewhere at sometime unless you're seeling equity in your business.

No, SBA loan IS a problem because they are taking advantage of the VA Loan program and veterans.

[@HisDudeness2020]

There are things Dave Ramsey says I can agree with, and while his experience with debt may have been negative, realistically not everyone has money laying around as you've stated. I had no choice but to take out an auto loan so I could replace my old beater. Sure, I have a car payment, but it was better than going upside down in car repairs on my old beater. Plus, not going to work because I had no car was not an option for me. Thankfully though my car is nearly paid off and will soon be one less thing to worry about. I would definitely take advice out there with a grain of salt, as there is no one size fits all solution for everyone's situation.

The title is misleading. This says nothing about SBA loans or analyzing them.

[@sw23971]

Dave was more upset with her because she didn't follow his typical advice and live like a homeless person for 2 years to pay off the credit card debt. IF this woman does the right thing and hammer the loan with extra payments to pay off the loan as fast as possible she'll be ahead of the game. 4% interest? Nice! Just stop telling people " I got an SBA loan" to pay off my credit card debt.

[@Josh-fw5yt]

Those SBA loans have covenants that say you can’t use the proceeds to refinance existing debt. If she’s not able to demonstrate appropriate usage of the money, she may be in trouble. Surprised Dave didn’t mention that.

[@virtuosowins]

I was thinking of that point and I am not American.. Here for instance, we cannot use personal loans to invest in stock markets say..

[@markyouneva7840]

I looked it up, the terms say you cannot use SBA loan proceeds to pay off LONG TERM/Fixed Debt (aka loans), but she paid off credit cards which are considered short term debt and it is permissible. However, she would still probably need to demonstrate that the credit card balance paid off was business related.

[@BeefPapa]

Just use the EIDL funds to cover operating expenses, so the cash flow from operations can cover any debt.

[@Zricha-n9i]

BeefPapa exactly

[@thekub32]

What kind of trouble?

[@markyouneva7840]

I guarantee a good amount of the caller's credit card balance was interest charges accumulating at what appears to be a default rate of 29.xx% APR. She might have missed a some payments. It is true that she needs to increase her income and do so quickly, but we're in a pandemic with 20% REAL unemployment rate. Given these conditions, and given the fact that her debt was growing by $400 each month, I think he made a good financial decision to refinance it at 3.75% APR. The 30 year term doesn't matter as long as she pays it off ASAP, maybe in 2-5 years once the economy starts to improve and she can increase her income. We get it Dave, debt is bad and prolonging a debt situation isn't ideal, but this idea that everything has to fit into only two categories "good" or "bad" could be counter to what you're trying to teach people. Clearly, there are two separate issues here. If it were a medical situation, you first need to stop the bleeding/suture up (aka refinance the debt) then do the healing/recovery (aka increase income and pay down debt). If you tell someone they made a bad move when they actually did the best under the situation, you are not helping them build their self confidence with respect to proper financial planning and management.

[@mjai1120]

[@jnev9046]

On top of no way she would have paid it off I'm 19 months. The interest would've kept it snowballing. She's saving 1100 , but they're pushing her to work more...lol. Now she can do that with the lower interest rate, she can still triple her payments. Now I think she's bad for using as debt consolidation, but for a business loan it's perfect!!!!

[@midnite1235]

Getting the loan was a great idea. You can always pay off quicker if you want Steve.

[@mendopolis]

Definitely. And, yes, if you’re continuing to run up more debt and not building repeatable profitability into your business, unquestionably, you have to change that, soon! Btw, at a 29% rate, you’re gonna have another $6-8k to pay on that $19k of debt, so there’s a lot to be said for locking in a lower rate.

Bit strange to call loan consolidation a scam and then describe the problem: the person who has the loan might make smaller payments. We are talking about adults here.

Yes he correct ab the psychology But if you take Dave Theory on 10 percent growth on good growth mutual funds he talks ab that average 10 percent gain and take 100,000 sba loan at 3.75 percent .. u be making a yield of 6.75 percent and 100,000 would be a profit of $6750 a year and if sell parts of it after it a year it be tax at capital gains of rate which is much lower rate the ordinary income . So if u do it right the sba loan is a great opportunity

[@insideoutsideupsidedown2218]

You forget you have to make monthly payments on the loan. If she took a 100k loan she still has to pay back the 100k. So putting the 6700 back onto the loan gets her nowhere over 30 years. How about pay off the 19k you owe, so you can free up you outgoing money and use that to invest

[@carolinadocks]

The $6750 is after u pay interest payments if u didn’t your yield would $10,000 not $6750 . I got the $6750 calculation from 10 percent growth minus 3.75 percent on $100,000. either way u yield $6750 then put that $6750 profit e every year to pay of the Balance which over 13 years be paid off. The point isn’t ab her 19,000 . I am showing u how u can make money by borrow it at low interest 3.75 percent and getting a higher rate of return on something that has been proven to generate over 10 percent rate of return over 10 year span which is a high growth mutual funds u can find out in the market

Except the SBA loan is meant for business use...not paying off debt (unless it is linked to business), nor are you supposed to take the money and use it to invest in the market. Technically, that's against the terms of the loan.

[@triplet123c]

Paying off the loan early is a big mistake because you cant take a tax writeoff. In addition, if you decide to take out another loan in the future, application loan is $3000 to $4000 and if you dont get approved, theyre keeping that money. You may need cash in the future for other cash obligations. You move into a higher tax bracket as well.

So many people have done a wonderful job analyzing the video. I just wanted to speak to the numbers for some context. 29% and 3.75% are the annual rates of interest. 29% on $19,000 credit card debt is interest only of $459/month. $19,000 at 3.75% amortized over 30 years has a payment of $87.99 with $59.38 as an interest expense. Let’s say the SBA loan had a 3% fee - that would still only be $570 which is basically only one month of interest! So, yes - Dave is right in that many people would pay the minimum and spend the excess. To assume everyone does this is wrong and not helpful. That $400 of interest saved can go a loooong way!

Opened an American Express which gave me 12 months interest free and put every single cent of that 7000 new HVAC on there... Paid the min for 11 months while I continue to save and reap from my ESPP... At 11 months made one giant payment of about 6k to wipe the Amex balance to zero. I've never had a balance on any if my two cards... Reap maybe 300-500 in cash back per year for the past 5 years. It's a game and you gotta know how to play it... Came natural to me, kind of like common sense... Instead or telling people what others do or don't do he should show people how to game the system...

I'm not agree with dave either on this.

[@tself77]

He makes a general set of rules to apply for everyone knowing that more than 50% of people who go for a 30 year over a 15 aren’t goons to pay any extra. It’s just a fact. He doesn’t always factor in interest rates and stuff to get the best deal but rather to save money related to most human behavior.

[@AndrewDavis406]

She would NOT have paid off $19k debt in 19 months with a 29% interest rate.. Totally inaccurate. Would have taken many more years to pay that off

[@parler8698]

Isn't using an SBA loan to pay off random, unrelated credit cards a type of fraud?

[@Eyedbythetiger]

Wow, these two are simpletons. She made a savvy move by saving herself literally thousands on interest and they pretend that was the wrong move. Either simpletons or their like to manipulate the audience for financial gains.

[@startnow5508]

You can NOT use SBA loans to pay off debt. They can fine you 150% !

[@RicoSweets210]

The title should be the issue with debt consolidation. Not SBA loans

Now I'm thinking if I should take the SBA loan🤔🤔🤔

Read the SBA loan you have to put your assets as collateral. If you are thinking of getting a loan get the PPP loan

[@Adrian-op5ni]

@@jonathanneal9399anymore info on this loan? I really really don’t want to put my house as collateral for an SBA loan.

I'm surprised she got a SBA loan, knowing so little about her own finances and income.

without watching this i know dr will say no😂

[@onewithin1chava949]

Let’s see I applied and was approved back July 2020 was told I was funded bank says they have no information call sba they say in process here we are 2021 and still they say in process it’s a scam

[@squigl3z78]

The only way i see this as a win is if she doesn't run the cards back up . The loan goes against her LLC and not her personal credit .so she clears alot off her credit report boosting her credit and lowering her payments allowing her to breathe for a while

Why Dave is a bad idea

[@ejs129]

This lady is so nerve-racking 10 seconds of conversation took her 2 minutes to get out. 🤦‍♂️

[@ettoresabella8484]

100 dollars a month to pay 19000 for 30 years is the best deal ever!!! You can move out and pay 100 dollars less in rent , or pay. Less100 dollars a month with other things too. GREAT DEAL SORRY THESE GUYS ARE CRAZY!! THIS FIRST GIRL GOT A GRAT DEAL

[@StreetGeekz]

Speak Dave!! I thought the exact same! It’s mentally crazi how the mind works. Once out of debt millions of materialistic things look at you and say buy me now!

30 years at $105/mo would've been $37,800 without including interest

[@jmc8076]

She needs to get creative and use her talent to do things out of the box for a while, ie helping stage homes to sell (contact realtors or put ads on Craiglist etc), doing custom wall murals for home/business owners etc., teaching art in person or online (simple projects in small groups or one on one - look on YT for ideas) and too many other ideas to list. Brainstorm and burn up phone. Go outside comfort zone and think about using talent in other ways. Charge per project for custom work like murals/home staging. Still be an artist but side hustle until.. It’s not lowering standards and may even pick up clients primary artwork. A friend who’s an artist (started late 50s) makes good money by doing commissions incl custom bday/holiday cards. The wealthy will pay well for one-of-a-kind pieces and work. Aim higher. God luck to caller.

Really she's not doing to bad for her self. She just need to pay the same amount or 1k at min. When she is done add that 1k to her house payment.

She made the right move.... If she does the right thing....

[@landonholm8471]

Great personal finance guy. Not big business.

[@VicariouslyVanna]

Why not just accept the 1K grant and use it to for your business to make more money?

[@1HotSkiBunnie]

No. The problem is that they force you to defer payments for one year while interest is adding up. Also, 100.00 sign up fee. Most importantly, you give up many rights to your assets and financial books. Also, you have to file paperwork, which is a yearly burden. Also, they can force an audit and charge you. I read the fine print and said no way. I can get 75k from PayPal in seconds based on my past revenues. They don’t even care about my good credit.

[@clcnj5365]

Absolutely NO ONE forced ANYONE to defer payments. Deferment was an option. If you didn’t do the math that’s on you.

[@Shoemaker30]

Do both. Reduce interest and while paying higher
