Michael explains the LARGEST and
COSTLIEST mistake he made in buying multifamily: mismatching his
mortgage debt with his business plan. The future is not clear- so
you must use past experiences to make future business decisions.
Michael thought choosing a longer-term fixed rate loan, with the
expectations of interest rates rising in the future, would be a
prudent business decision. Unfortunately, it was not. His loan was
10 years…but his business plan was to only keep the property for
3-5 years. Rates remained low and the loan came with a significant
prepayment penalty called yield maintenance when they went to sell
the apartment building. If he had chosen a shorter loan term with a
less onerous pre-payment penalty… he would have saved millions. HE
WON’T DO THAT AGAIN!
