Episode notes

The whole loan to value thing is a red herring. The last thing that you should be thinking about is what some appraiser thinks of value. Real estate is largely a fixed cost business, by which I mean your expenses do not change relative like depending on the rents. If collections come down 20%, net operating income doesn't come down by 20%. It often comes down by a lot more than that.
