Why'd you go home early?
I wouldn't expect posts like yours till at least 2:30 am (For those not priveleged to live in the Golden State, our bars close at 2am)
Did they 86 you at 12:30???
Because you are definitely drunk.
In our industry we do signings then bill for them. Get a clue. The problem with SS isn't that much of a problem. With a little caution and a little persistant collecting a notary keeps his uncollectables well below 10%.
Insisting on prepayment, or threatening to bill borrowers directly or adding crap for them to sign or whatever other dumb ass idea falls into your pointy little head today is guaranteed to reduce your business by far far more than it will save you in no pays.
Sometimes in business you don't get paid.
Step #1 Be reasonably cautious to avoid the worst of the no pays before it happens. Step #2 Be professionally dogged about getting your money. Sweet as pie but dig in like a tick on a hound dog Step #3 When you just can't collect, or you decide it's not cost effective to collect, GET OVER IT and get on to a money making job.
For crying in the sink, it aint that big of a deal.
