“I had an argument with the IRS and they won. Now I owed them six figures and they decided to charge me $2,000 a month in penalties and interest for fun.Where was I going to get that kind of money?????Answer: Alpine Bank, thanks to Jonathan Feldman.I got a home equity line of credit against a paid-for Aspen property in less than a week. I paid off the IRS 10 days later.Then I started chipping down the loan month by month.When it came time to finally pay off the loan, I wrote a check and took it to the teller myself.The only glitch: Her English was not really good and she didn't understand I wanted to pay off the loan but keep the line of credit open. But eventually we got it straight.These photos are from the downtown core Aspen branch where Feldman works and where I paid off my loan. I actually signed the loan docs at the Basalt branch, which is spittin' distance from my loft in Willits Town Center.It might be difficult for a handicapped person to enter the bank because you have to go down steps into the courtyard. But oh what a beautiful courtyard. Gorgeous fall flowers. A table to fill out forms or have lunch.Inside it looks like any other bank. No teller lines because who deposits money at the bank these days????Alpine Bank saved me from the clutches of the IRS. I am eternally grateful their underwriting was so speedy.”
