Core Team Hawaii gives a look behind the scenes at the chaos and high-level nuance of current real estate transactions, including issues with non-QM loans and difficult appraisals. The team then explores key concepts from The Psychology of Money, arguing that smart professionals must speak in ranges and probabilities , not the absolutes that clients often demand.
