📣 ROUND 2: The Pricing Game! [complete]
📊 RESULTS ARE IN - here are the details & actual metrics for Round 2:
Strong engagement and solid reasoning across the board.
Most guesses clustered in the 25%–35% of UPB range, reflecting realistic risk pricing given vacancy, back taxes, and package dynamics.
Several of you correctly anchored on tax liability + timeline risk as the things most dragging down the value.
Actual purchase price: $3,000!! (~10% of the UPB)
That comes in below most estimates, reinforcing how cheap you can pick up a small-balance, vacant 1st position loan with negative factors like taxes and long foreclosure timelines (especially as part of a package deal, this trade was a total contract of 10 loans for $79,172.00 sale price - 38% of UPB total)
Closest guess (winner): with $7,075 (25% of UPB) - correct framework, even if the sale price surprised to the downside.
What's ironic about this - DJ was the actual buyer of this NPL back in 2024! Looks like you got a better deal than you remembered 😜
Honorable mentions:
On Today's call, we’ll break down:
  • Why this asset cleared at $3,000
  • Where most investors overestimated value
  • How buyers think about minimum viable pricing on small-balance seconds
  • How this compares to pricing if the same asset were performing
