Shalina asks about high bank debt leverage. Does it matter? Does David hate leverage?
Shalina was asking a follow up question from what she saw in my video ‘questions about seller financing.’ https://youtu.be/YhEs5CG3uGs 
It’s a great question because it leaves you wondering if you really can/should buy a business with only 10% of your own money.
I’m not against high leverage if the business has demonstrated cash flows and can service the debt.
WHERE you borrow the money is sometimes more important than how much.
It has to do with the qualities of the debt.

When Is 90  Bank Financing Ok? And does David HATE LEVERAGE???

Youtube viewer Canucklehead wants to know which number to multiply and when.
Great question.
One of the biggest problems in business valuation is when people confuse valuation factors.
Apply a 3X EBITDA factor to SDE and you’ll overpay for the business.
But are these hard and fast rules… or just guidelines?
In this week’s video, I discuss when the different cash flow levels made sense and why, in the end, you need to be thinking beyond just math.
