KEY TAKEAWAYS1.

Underwriting is the financial aspect of evaluating an opportunity. It will also allow you to determine your return hurdles and risks. 4. A key contributor to risk is debt. The more debt, the more risk, and we also want to look at the maturity of the debt. For example bridge loans are more risky vs permanent financing.5. Look at business plans and ask: How much are we changing the revenue? We can demand a higher return for more potential risk. 6.
