In this short video, the speaker explains that despite a slight dip, 10‑year Treasury yields remain elevated and the Federal Reserve has not cut rates, meaning lenders are keeping existing loan quotes unchanged. Consequently, the recommended playbook is to recover every possible dollar of Net Operating Income (NOI) now, which improves the Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR) and strengthens the property under today’s high‑rate conditions. This approach positions the owner to capture upside if rates ease later, while still leaving the building stronger if rates stay high—presented as the only strategy that works in both scenarios.

The 10-year is lower this week, but it is still elevated. The Fed has not cut. Your lender has not changed your quote. Which means the playbook stays the same. Every dollar of NOI you recover right now improves your DSCR and strengthens your building at today's rates. If rates actually ease in the fall, you are positioned to capture the upside. If they do not, you have a stronger building either way. That is the only strategy that works in both scenarios.
