If you’re in the halfway house business for profitability you’re doing it for all the wrong reasons. It’s not really a business per se, it’s a nonprofit providing a community service.

There is a logic that says they don't want to be below that number because it wouldn't appraise at value... but then there is also a logic that they don't want to be too much above your sales price either or the lender starts going "Is there something wrong with the property... why isn't it selling at market value?"
