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!
