What was happening, everybody? Welcome back to this week's segment of the no limit minute.

Now, if you're anything like me, at least in the early phases of me getting started into

0:13.0

this business, then you've probably spent many and out, many of hours trying to underwrite

0:19.6

deals, trying to determine if deals actually financially pencil, whether or not this is

0:26.1

a deal that you want to pursue. And you're spending too much time being completely and utterly

0:31.6

honest with you, you are spending and wasting way too much time because if you're spending

1:52.5

the pro forma financials, then use those numbers. Moist hesitant to use performance in any

form of underwriting, but this is merely just the quick analysis and it's the only financials
