An entity that operates hundreds or thousands of apartment units has far less concentration risk than an owner of a few rental homes, whose tenants may all be impacted by COVID-19.Do you think Portland’s ten-year trend of positive economic growth for landlords will continue, or will it flatten out, possibly even declining in the wake of COVID-19?

I think one thing people need to understand is in the US the ten-year treasury is competing against the mortgage-backed securities and while the ten-year is impacted by interest rates, its not the only factor and amount of spending we do also impacts it.they auctioned off 30-year today and it went really bad as no one wants our long-term debt and it sold for 4.3%10-year notes recently traded for 3.96% but again very weak demand - which I believe means yield prices may continue to move up, which means interest rates are not going down dramatically anytime soon - so that fed 25 or 50bps drop is not going to have your mortgage lender dropping rates suddenly the next day...Now the spread between the 10 yr and 30yr mortgages historically is closer to 1.75 but recently has been between 2-3% due to yield curve.

You can also sell them on sites like paperstac, debexpert or others as well as brokers like Mission Capital, Rams or Phoenix.Depending on quality of paper and interest rate will determine sales price - also I would say self servicing can have a negative impact on the sales price as the major players in the space are not fond of self servicing.

You're the fish.They often use a mix of fear, threat and urgency to push a target to act.It can be as simple as a 24 hours sale from your favorite shop that requires you to log in to your account first or your boss asking you to wire money right now or he/she/they will lose an important contract that will cost millions.So cybersecurity is important because without that, you might have an incident that can cost a lot of money, impact your reputation and might affect your credit score.
