The "how to" approach implies an education, but it is not usually.

As to title, I'd be concerned (as I implied above) that a junior lien holder might find some way to get their title company to beat you up over a period of time.

Anyhow, I do agree with Bob's message in concept - the problem with 50% rule is not merely that it is garbage, which, as Will said, it is, but that it is useless in giving us any information we need to have if our objective is IRR underwriting.Ben, you are putting words in my mouth, that is not what I was implying at all.
