“The big thing to remember here is banks don’t want real estate. They’re not in the business of owning real estate. Banks are in the business of loaning money. That’s what they want. They don’t want to be a land lord. Banks want money.” (10:01)
“These people don’t care about the purchase price. They care about the monthly payment. So, it doesn’t matter for the most part. But when the appraisal man comes knocking at the door, he really determines what the sales price is gonna do.” (13:57)
