I noticed the other day that we had articles about how to start a private equity firm and how to start a hedge fund but nothing on venture capital. But just like superhero movies, career advice works best when it’s a trilogy – so we’ll complete this trilogy with how to start a venture capital firm. Starting a venture capital firm is less of a bad idea than starting a PE firm or hedge fund, but it’s still not a great idea for most people.

Utter and complete BS. Common sense- a house is listed for $400,000. On the market a normal DOM. Goes under contract for $400,000 with no concessions. Two weeks later, $3500 in concessions made to keep the deal going. No change in sale price. It does NOT require adjustment. All these “national experts” see are stats and not real life. I refuse to make an adjustment based on a GSE “policy” instead of real life.

The old adages that "cash is king" and "you can’t spend profits" still hold true today. But however well-known these sayings might be, it requires a change in mindset to properly implement a cash flow management system that predicts your business's runaway as accurately as possible. Key to this new mindset is understanding the difference between the Statement of Cash Flows, a historical look at the source and uses of cash, and the Cash Flow Statement, which uses transaction history and forward-l

In reply to Bill. Agreed. Lenders using alleged “bias” as rationalization for getting rid of human appraisers. Lenders can make more money without appraisers. They can make a lot of money in areas that are revitalizing if they use AVMs. AVMs don’t know condition. People with properties in less than condition could get bigger loans on their property because AVM will come in much higher.

In reply to Pray Hard. Agreed. I’ve had borrowers tell me “the lender said it’ll easily appraise for xxx.” Lenders do that to suck in borrowers so the lender/agent can make money. Then they get the appraisal at market value and lender blames the appraiser for “coming in low.” They assume borrower is now invested with credit inquiry, time, fees, probably needs the deal and will just accept the actual loan and terms.
