The20YearIRCloud: The refinance is prime + 2% as a commercial mortgage to our LLC, which is a pretty decent rate. The big benefit compared to just going out and refinancing all the properties at once is that the investors essentially won't see any decreases in the small dividends that they're getting now, only growth.
The20YearIRCloud: Yeah , it's a 100k line of credit @ 5% or so and interest only payments, we use LOC to go out and buy new properties, rehab them then refinance the property to cashout the LOC

mircea_popescu: it's also mildly useful for crooked hedge fund mangers to explain to their half smart moneyed audience why exactly it is that i can make any % i want and they can only make a % that's two digits no matter what happens.
mircea_popescu: anyway, for the record, "volatility drag" is an artefact of the poor public school system in the us. the only reason it exists is that people do arithmetic rather than geometric %s. in other words, they don't compound.
peeta: soon after nakowa the max profit % went from 1% to 0.5%
peeta: ok, so it all hinges on the max profit %... if it was anything above 2% a blowup was likely because the volatility drag would be over the expected earnings
