My thoughts on Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies

Posted on 2014/07/15 by Jeffrey Smith

Bitcoin (BTC) has been hacked several times, mostly for “proof of concept” and not for nefarious intent. The algorithms for creating new BTC are now so difficult to compute that most BTC farmers are out of that business. The processing power to break the global BTC ciphering ledger is well within the reach of organized […]

Buy or Refinance Now

Posted on 2013/10/16 by Jeffrey Smith

The valuation of income properties is directly tied to the cost and structure of financing. Real estate is a “borrowed money” business. As interest rates rise, the capitalization rate required to service the debt for a purchase or refinance also rises, and thus the valuation falls. As the valuation falls, existing debt Loan to Value […]

Guru Interest Rates

Posted on 2013/08/21 by Jeffrey Smith

I am often astonished at the real estate “Guru” who charge outrageous (unpublished) interest rates for their products. As if their astronomical pricing isn’t bad enough, they offer time payment plans that are nothing short of usurious, making high credit card interest rates seem reasonable in comparison.
I recently sat through a yet another long-winded video pitch […]

Capitalization Rate and Cash on Cash Return

Posted on 2013/08/13 by Jeffrey Smith

I just added a new article on the correct way to calculate the Capitalization Rate (CAP) according to the cost and structure of financing.
An income property is generally valued on its cash flow, either the current cash flow or the anticipated future cash flow after repositioning. The valuation of the cash flow is calculated according […]
