Zyprexa Plaintiffs Obtain “No Risk” Lawsuit Loans to Bridge Financial Gap
“No one pays much attention to how a person who has been injured is going to live while waiting for a case to settle, the legal system tends to put people who cannot afford to wait for their money at a disadvantage.”
- Boston Bar Association Ethics Committee Chairman, Gerry Cohen

With these words millions of U.S. consumers every year find out 1st hand the truthfulness of Mr. Cohen’s assessment of the legal system; but who more so than the thousands who have suffered tragically at the hands of Ely Lillies drug Zyprexa.

“Zyprexa ruined my life” describes litigant Merrit Salyer who will be one of the first to receive a lump sum settlement in the new 700 million dollars settlement launched last Thursday by multi-billion dollar corporate giant Eli Lilly, manufacturer of Zyprexa. The “extreme hardship I suffered from Zyprexa in both physical & mental suffering, well all I can say is Zyprexa stole my health and it nearly killed me, as I spent 2 weeks in a trauma unit from diabetic ketoacidosis where I almost died and now I live with a lifetime of complications diabetes has left me with” says Salyer of his brief 2 month encounter with Zyprexa.

The costs injured plaintiffs sustain are far more than the actual pain and suffering, as Salyer states, “injuries affect everything including your standard of living, you just can’t maintain the same earnings. Then throw in future credit and borrowing and you begin to know the real long term side effects no one takes into consideration and that’s why injured plaintiffs need help in many areas to recover.”

Is there a solution? 1st Choice Funding offers Zyprexa plaintiffs many and one is by offering cash in hand now, when Zyprexa plaintiffs need it most vs. when settlement finally occurs. The program is called “No Win …No Pay… No Risk” Lawsuit Loans and this innovative program puts Zyprexa litigants in the position to receive cash prior to settlement with no credit, employment, monthly payments, collateral, or risk no matter how long Zyprexa settlement takes.

“No Win…No Pay… No Risk” Lawsuit Loans are unheard of from traditional banking approaches to lending money conventional lenders agree. “1st Choice Funding’s Lawsuit Loans aren’t really loans at all and that’s why conventional approaches aren’t how we make determinations for funding” said 1st Choice Funding company president Timothy S. Gray, “lawsuit loans are what consumers call them but in reality what they are advances made on future settlement, and that’s something conventional lenders just don’t understand.”

In many housing markets across the country, the increase in home prices does not match the average household income. Hence, many people are unable to save money for a down payment. Ideally, mortgage companies prefer applicants to have a down payment of at least 5%, in addition to paying closing costs. Unfortunately, this is an unrealistic expectation. Thus, many homebuyers are taking advantage of zero down mortgage loans.

How Do Zero Down Loans Works?

Fortunately, many mortgage companies recognize how difficult it is to save for a down payment. Thus, some lenders have created special loan programs that make it possible to buy a home with little out-of-pocket expense. Ordinarily, if you had a down payment for a home, you would obtain better rates. However, because of low mortgage rates, you do not need a down payment to secure a good rate.

There are many options for a zero down home loan. For starters, some mortgage lenders offer an 80/20 loan. This involves offering a mortgage for 80% of the asking price, and a 20% home equity loan for the remaining balance. This option is very useful; moreover, homebuyers avoid paying private mortgage insurance.

Additionally, homebuyers may obtain a mortgage loan for 103% of the asking price. This is beneficial because it allows new homebuyers to afford down payment and a portion of the closing fees.

Zero down doesn’t really mean no down payment. Most sellers need something as a down payment if they are providing financing. Most banks won’t do 100% financing on real estate that is purchased as an investment. Zero down just means that the down payment won’t come from your money. So where will you get it? Can you really profit from real estate without having money to start?

The answer is clearly yes. At our local investor’s meeting the other night, one investor told me that he recently found a fixer upper, but couldn’t arrange financing. What did he do? He assigned the contract to another investor for $6,000. In other words, all he ever had into the deal was a $500 “good faith” deposit, and his time, and he made a $6,000 profit. This is called “flipping.”

Not only did he not need a down payment, but he didn’t even have to buy the property to make money. There was enough potential profit in fixing up and selling the house, that other investors were happy to pay to take his place. The key here was that he knew how to find a good deal, and his offer included the right to assign the contract to another investor if he wanted to.

Now, if he had put the $500 deposit on a credit card, it truly would have involved none of his own money, except enough for gas to drive around looking at houses. Of course, he would have paid a 3% cash-advance fee and 18% annual interest for a month. This would have reduced his profit by $22.50. Yes, zero down is possible and profitable.

There are so many choices in life, it’s sometimes difficult to make the right one. But when it comes to getting loan, there are really only two important choices to make. The rest are simply details that need to be hammered out. This article will help you understand which of the two choices is the right one for you.

An unsecured loan is simply a loan you get based on your good name and your credit rating. Often the interest rates are low the higher on an unsecured loan and on a secured loan because the risk is higher to the lending institution. If, for some reason, you are unable to pay back the loan and the lending institution does not get any money back. However, your good name and your credit rating are potentially ruined.

On the other hand, a secured load is a low you get when you put up some assets. The advantage of a secured loan is that you often get more money at a lower interest rate for longer repayment period that you would with an unsecured loan. This is because you have some assets to backup your loan. The lending institution prefers this kind of loan because if you find yourself unable to make payments, they can see your assets as an alternative form of payment. Because the risk to them is diminished they are able to provide you with more attractive loans at a better rate.
