Jim Schultheis
Talk about billboards or billboard finance and it’s the same as or easier just to mention the name Jim Schultheis. Working for Courtesy Outdoor Finance and BLP Properties, Jim is the all around great business man that you want to know and do business with. He always stays in contact or helps you out when needed. Get on his email list and you will never be out of the loop of the billboard business. With his everyday research of the business and sending out email alerts of the results contributes greatly to this blog and www.billboardgreetings.com. Both companies Jim work for are structured to serve the outdoor industry exclusively. COF provides funding solutions for everything from the fabrication of individual structures to the purchase of large billboard plants. BLP funds the acquisition of permanent easements and gives operators non-cancelable, long-term leases (30, 50, 99 years, your call.)
Since outdoor is their niche market, it’s easy for them to tailor a program to suit your specific needs:
Interest only? … no problem.
Extended amortization? … no problem.
10% down? . . . does 0% sound better?
Quick approval? … they advertise “approval within 48 hours,” but approval in 1 hour is common.
Tax breaks? … their lease programs let you write off 100% of your payments as an operating expense.
For almost 25 years, COF has financed projects that range from individual structures to multi-million dollar buy-outs. For them, no two deals are the same because no two operators have the same goals. Once he knows your long term goal, He will work with you to develop a finance package that is both flexible and expandable. Jim is highly recommended, so
