Funny loan approval process skit from @hardmoneyman_isperov

A man enters an office to ask a lender named Vladimir for a loan to flip a house, and the approval process involves a mock "inspection" of the borrower's kneecaps by an associate. Once approved, the man takes stacks of cash from the desk, and Vladimir concludes with a direct-to-camera call-to-action for his hard money lending service.
