And eventually we’ll discuss what to bear in mind should you’re contemplating a heloc. Now, earlier than we leap in, we need to give a giant, enormous thanks to Company Direct.

Ashley:
Okay, so our first query right now is from the BiggerPockets boards. And right here’s the query, I want some recommendation on whether or not to promote or maintain onto a property that I bought in 2020. To offer extra context, my partner and I bought our first property in California in 2020 for 500,000, and that has at present appreciated to 700,000. We did stay within the property for a bit over two years, however attributable to household causes, we needed to relocate to Canada in early 2023 and have been renting out the property since then. We did rent a property supervisor, however even after their $200 charges monthly, the property is cashflow optimistic round $500 if we take into account a mortgage plus HOA plus property tax, the time to resume the present lease with our tenants is across the nook. And I have to point out that my present tenants are very secure and have by no means missed any funds to this point, and due to this fact I need to present them with satisfactory time since we’ll not be renewing the lease if we’re promoting the property since, as per our understanding, if we have now used the property as our main residence to out of the final 5 years, which we have now from November, 2020 to January, 2023, then we needs to be eligible to get capital tax exemption if we promote the property earlier than November 25.

Ashley:
But when we resolve to resume the one 12 months lease, the property administration firm solely renews for one 12 months, then we’ll miss this chance ceaselessly since we at present don’t have any plans to return again to California, at the very least not within the rapid timeline, and I’ve round 30% fairness within the property, due to this fact in search of recommendation, whether or not it makes extra monetary sense to not renew the lease and promote the property, get the capital tax exemption, nonetheless want to determine the implication of promoting the house with Canadian taxes or maintain onto the property and construct our fairness, particularly since it’s money optimistic and we have now a secure tenant. Nicely, Tony, I feel the very first thing is you may discuss on the Canadian taxes since you are from Ontario, proper? I’ve to inform a narrative one time. The primary time Tony and I ever met, we had been going to Denver and we needed to each ship in our flights to get reimbursed and I noticed Tony’s flight and I used to be like, he’s coming from Ontario, Canada. That’s so bizarre. Why is he going to be in Canada coming from there? Ontario, California, I discovered

Tony:
Ontario, California, nevertheless it’s named our founders got here from Ontario, Canada, which is why we’re Ontario, California. So yeah, the unique homesteaders, however loads to unpack on this query. I feel earlier than we get into it, Ash, perhaps if we simply type of break down a few of the issues that she talked about on this query. So the primary is the tax exemption. So sometimes while you promote a chunk of actual property, particularly like an funding property, your capital good points taxes on the sale. So that you get a giant revenue while you promote, however then you definately obtained a giant tax invoice on the finish of the 12 months. So a whole lot of this query type of hinges on making an attempt to keep away from that capital good points tax, however so as to try this, you need to have lived it as a main residence or two out of the final 5 years. So if she reextend this lease, then she gained’t have been in a position to qualify for that two out of the final 5 as a result of it’ll be one out of the final 5, which gained’t permit her to qualify for it. So I simply need to lead the inspiration with that first so listeners can actually observe together with what the problem is right here.

Ashley:
So one large piece of that is that you simply really feel such as you’re lacking a possibility to faucet into the fairness of the property, however another choice is is that you can all the time go and refinance to get that 30% fairness. The dilemma I do see right here is that should you bought it in 2020, you can have a greater rate of interest than what you’d get now should you went and refinance the property. However I simply need to lay that out as a potential situation to get to faucet into fairness is by doing that, you additionally may do the ten 31 trade on the property too. So I feel there’s some completely different choices that I don’t need anybody pondering I’ve to promote my property so as to get the max worth from it. You’re not going to lose out. There’s different methods to faucet into the fairness. It’s actually simply determining what’s the finest path so that you can try this.

Tony:
Yeah, you learn my thoughts, Ashley, on the ten 31 trade, a whole lot of her dilemma is making an attempt to keep away from this large taxable occasion, however should you use what’s known as a ten 31 trade, and for our viewers and listeners who aren’t aware of that, principally there’s a bit of the IRS tax code part 10 31, which permits for form exchanges the place you may defer the capital good points tax should you trade this asset for an additional form asset. So principally the one that posted this query can promote this property in California, whether or not it’s 5 years from now or 20 years from now. And as a substitute of paying taxes on the acquire, they will take that whole revenue and roll it into one other property to allow them to defer these taxes till they really promote and simply liquidate for the total revenue. So there’s lots of people who quote, swap to you drop the place you simply preserve swapping your properties for greater properties and also you by no means truly must pay tax on it when you’re alive since you simply preserve deferring it into the subsequent constructing. So we’ve accomplished 1 10 31 trade and it was a straightforward manner for us to take the fairness that we had in a property and we had been truly in a position to flip that into two completely different properties from the fairness that we had constructed up. So I personally, if I’m within the state of affairs, you bought a cashflowing asset in a vastly or aggressively appreciating market like California. So that you’re getting cashflow and appreciation and an excellent simple tenant. It sounds such as you’d just like the property supervisor if it’s me in all probability not promoting this property.

Ashley:
So I feel your two issues to think about is how vital is it that you simply get this money now, do you want this money now to faucet into the fairness or can you retain the money that fairness invested into this property nonetheless? After which the subsequent factor to take a look at is do you need to be accomplished with rental properties? As a result of should you do the ten 31 trade, you’re going to have to purchase a form property, which is most certainly going to be some type of rental property. So that may be, I see the massive issues to consider proper there as to what are your way of life targets, your rapid targets that you simply want proper now, and what are your targets down the street? So say a 12 months from now, this resident, this tenant doesn’t resolve to resume and also you need to promote the property a 12 months from now since you don’t have one other nice tenant in place like this one was for you, do you need to go and purchase one other property that you’d have as an funding as a rental property once more too?

Ashley:
So I feel these are two large issues about when do you really need the money? What are the opposite alternatives that you are able to do with that money and is it going to be a greater return than you’re making proper now? However I feel Tony mentioned it completely, you might have a money flowing property that’s appreciating it’s most certainly going to proceed to understand. You’re most certainly going to get extra cashflow since you’re in all probability on a 30 12 months mounted price mortgage and also you’re going to have property and property taxes and insurance coverage improve, however you’re most certainly in all probability going to have the ability to improve hire above and past that the place your cashflow will truly improve. That’s one large lesson that I’ve discovered as an actual property investor is to watching my cashflow improve as a result of my mortgage fee has stayed the identical, however I’m constantly elevating rents to maintain up with market rents and on a property I purchased 5, 6, 7 years in the past, my cashflow was a lot extra now due to simply time and with the ability to increase rents in several areas too. And that undoubtedly has develop into such a advantage of being a landlord and investing in leases.

Tony:
Yeah, I couldn’t agree extra truly. I really feel like this particular person’s in a extremely great place and once more, I really feel like cashflow, appreciation, good administration, that’s what everybody hopes for. It sounds such as you hit the holy trinity there. So I’m in all probability holding onto the property.

Ashley:
Earlier than we leap into our second query, rookies, we need to thanks a lot for being right here and listening to the podcast. As you might know, we air each episode of this podcast on YouTube in addition to unique content material like my new sequence rookie useful resource. We need to hit 100,000 subscribers and we’d like your assist. In case you aren’t already, be sure to are subscribed to our YouTube channel by going to youtube.com/at realestate rookie. Okay everybody, welcome again Tony. What’s our subsequent query right now?

Tony:
Alright, so our subsequent query says, I’m making an attempt to approximate how a lot actual property I want to realize my annual cashflow targets. And it boils down actually to money on money returns. Frankly, I’m making an attempt to purchase as little actual property as potential to fulfill my cashflow targets attributable to low liquidity plus present market situations and I’ll put the remainder of my portfolio within the inventory market on the BiggerPockets YouTube channel. There’s a good pleasant debate of shares versus actual property and actual property wins by way of return on funding when nicely leveraged per the podcast, I consider it was instructed {that a} first 12 months money on money return of 15% to twenty% is achievable when nicely leveraged could be robust to realize optimistic leverage with right now’s rates of interest in a potential housing bubble. Nicely debatable, the very best first 12 months money on money return I’ve ever heard of is 39% at a self storage facility the place there was $68,000 in that working earnings, $29,000 in curiosity in precept, after which a $39,000 in cashflow with 100 thousand {dollars} down fee on a $470,000 property.

Tony:
And this was bought in late 2020. I’m curious how fellow actual property buyers have fared by way of one 12 months money on money returns and any opinions of the present market situations. So loads to impression right here as nicely. It appears like there’s actually a pair questions right here. So his first query is, how can I actually maximize my return with the fewest variety of properties potential? In order that’s one query. After which the second a part of his query is what’s an precise good money on money return for this market? So perhaps let’s deal with the primary a part of that query of, hey, how can he actually speed up the cashflow with the least variety of properties? And there’s a couple of other ways to pores and skin that cat. I feel what involves thoughts for me first, Ashley, is a whole lot of it I feel will depend on how aggressive this particular person needs to get.

Tony:
I all the time return to once we interviewed Craig op on the Ricky podcast as a result of I feel he was an outstanding instance of somebody who actually went all in to attempt to maximize their return per property. So should you guys return and hearken to the episode with Craig, he purchased a giant, I feel it was like a 5 bed room home as a lately graduated younger skilled from school, didn’t want 5 bedrooms, however he obtained a giant previous 5 bed room home. He slept on the sofa in the lounge after which he rented out all 5 bedrooms to different folks. So he obtained this tremendous low down fee debt, the tremendous engaging debt. He’s actually maximizing the cashflow by renting out all 5 rooms and he simply repeated that course of and inside just some properties he was in a position to get to a degree the place he had a great chunk of cashflow coming in. So I feel a whole lot of it will depend on how aggressive this particular person’s prepared to get. So except for home hacking, Ashley, I suppose what different methods would possibly this particular person make use of to essentially juice the cashflow from the fewest variety of rental properties?

Ashley:
Yeah, truly I used to be simply listening to James Danor on a BiggerPockets available on the market podcast and he was speaking about flipping and the way he requires he gained’t do a flip until he’s getting a 35% money on money return over six months. So that’s his base metric for when he’s analyzing a flip. If he isn’t getting no matter capital he’s investing in, and I consider it was he’s getting exhausting cash of 85% of the overall value of the flip. In order that’s buy value and that’s the rehab value too. He’s getting funding for 85%, so he’s placing 15% capital upfront from him or his companions, no matter, however with that 15%, he’s requiring that he’s getting 35% money on money return when he sells that flip, what he’s making on the revenue of it. So I feel that could be a tremendous nice metric. He’s additionally flipping in the next finish space of Seattle.

Ashley:
And so I feel understanding your market and what’s achievable in your market, Jimmy has additionally been doing this for a really very long time and has accomplished hundreds of flips and actually, actually is aware of the way to get that little additional proportion by analyzing and estimating his rehab right down to the nitty gritty. However I assumed that was actually fascinating that he shared that. So I feel undoubtedly flipping could possibly be one other metric. I truly invested capital right into a flip and we obtained over 100% money on money return from the cash I invested into that flip. However that’s not going to occur each single time. In fact not. However I undoubtedly suppose flipping could possibly be an avenue of getting a excessive money on money return. The factor with calculating money on money return for rental properties is that you simply’re not making an allowance for the fairness and the mortgage pay down that’s being constructed up within the appreciation on this property too. You’re simply taking a look at cashflow and the capital you left within the property.

Tony:
Yeah, I feel flipping one other nice technique, and we in all probability don’t discuss flipping sufficient by way of money, on money return, I feel most individuals have a look at flipping simply by way of how a lot, what revenue did I’ve on the finish of the deal. However yeah, I like Jimmy’s strategy. Take a look at it from a money on money return perspective. I feel one other distinctive technique, and we’ve interviewed some people lately on the podcast which have accomplished this as nicely, the nassos we interviewed lately the place they might purchase type of just like the home hack, however they had been shopping for considerably bigger properties after which rehabbing and changing them into even bigger properties the place they might hire by the room. And that did phenomenally nicely for them they usually had been in a position to get 4 or 5 x what the same old long-term rents are by doing this tremendous large hire by the room technique.

Tony:
So I feel discovering methods to essentially maximize each sq. inch of house. So typically perhaps even including more room is a superb technique to jury extra extra income on your properties. I feel the one last item that I’d say from a method perspective, clearly short-term rental I feel are nice since you’re going to get higher cashflow than conventional long-term leases. However I do suppose a few of the small industrial in all probability doesn’t get sufficient love both on this query. He talked about self storage amenities. We simply purchased our first small boutique lodge, the returns and which are phenomenal comparability to what we may have gotten, how we deploy that right into a single household dwelling. So I feel there’s a whole lot of newer buyers who type of are gun shy for the small industrial, however I do suppose there’s actually a candy spot proper now in that asset class particularly to get actually good offers which are undervalued the place you are able to do some worth add and actually juicy returns as nicely.

Ashley:
Yeah. And Tony, what was the value level of your Motel two that you simply purchased? It was like 800,000.

Tony:
It was just below one million. It was 9 50.

Ashley:
Okay. After which what, what’s a few of the value factors of the only household properties you purchased within the Smoky Mountains?

Tony:
I’ll provide you with an ideal instance. The primary cabin that we purchased, we purchased it for 5 90. At this time, it’s in all probability price near one million bucks, perhaps rather less, however that cabin, that one single household house is valued the identical as what we purchased a 13 room lodge for. And the income potential on the lodge is at the very least 4 x what that single household house is. So you may see how while you discover the correct industrial, similar actual value, however a lot extra upside while you go industrial.

Ashley:
That’s the purpose I wished to drive in that typically pondering of a motel or a industrial property, you’re pondering increased value level, however that’s not all the time the case. Proper? The place I’m proper now on the lake, there’s this motel on the market and it’s fully run, nevertheless it’s listed at 249,000 or one thing like that. And it’s identical to there’s lake homes which are 2 million round right here, however but there may be this, I don’t know what number of rooms are there, like 12 perhaps or one thing like that. You would need to clearly herald capital to repair it up and issues like that. However don’t get into that mindset that industrial or motels or campgrounds or something like which are much less reasonably priced than going and shopping for a single household dwelling or a small multifamily.

Tony:
Did you say that there’s a motel in your city that’s listed for 240,000 bucks on the lake?

Ashley:
It’s not on the lake, it’s on the opposite aspect of the road of the lake.

Tony:
Why have you ever not instructed me about this deal but? What’s the identify of this lake? What’s the identify of the lake? It’s in all probability some loopy lake identify.

Ashley:
It’s Ch Taco Lake. We had a visitor on Adam who did purchase a motel on the lake and turned it right into a boutique motel. So I’ll have to seek out Adam’s present quantity, what present he was on, however he purchased a motel, mounted all of it up. He did vendor financing. There was a single household dwelling with it. There was a complete bunch of docks too with slips. After which, yeah, so I truly went, earlier than I purchased my lake home, I went and stayed at his motel at this little boutique motel that he was put collectively there and it was tremendous good and I met him and his spouse in particular person and yeah, it was actually cool. And final I heard, I feel he had mentioned they had been making an attempt to purchase a marina too on the lake, however yeah, I’ll have to seek out his episode quantity as a result of it was a extremely good one.

Tony:
Now Ashley, I’ll have to seek out the identify of that lodge that’s on the market proper now and ship that to me so I can go get a proposal.

Ashley:
There was one other one that truly simply bought, it was a fairly well-known extra a two story motel and it had a put putt course and stuff like that. And once I noticed how a lot it bought for, I couldn’t consider it was that low-cost that it bought for. And we truly went there a month or two in the past to truly do the put putt course and there was no one round. It was a ghost city. It was so bizarre. The door to the shed the place you verify in to play put putt was unlocked, however no one was there. Is that this selfer, will we simply assist ourselves do a ball and a factor and we’re like, I don’t know, let’s simply go away. And we ended up leaving and going some place else. However yeah,

Tony:
I feel we coated perhaps a couple of completely different alternatives by way of juice and the money on money return. However the second a part of that query is what is an effective money on money return to shoot for in 12 months one? What are your ideas on that Ash?

Ashley:
For a rental property, I’m taking a look at between 15 to 18% money on money return for a rental In my market. I’m proud of that. I’ve additionally, it used to all the time must be over 20%. A few years in the past it was very completely different for me, however now I care extra about appreciation and mortgage pay down and fairness that I’ve in my property. So I’d reasonably go away some cash into the deal and be not as leveraged on a property too to have that fairness baked in. So I could also be a bit bit completely different, however that’s the place I’m taking a look at proper now’s between 15 to 18% money on money return for a rental property. That’s additionally going to present me appreciation.

Tony:
And I feel we already touched on the flipping and what that appears like. Brief-term leases. I imply, 20% is an effective ground and I feel we’re nonetheless seeing offers perhaps north of 30%. Very like Ashley a couple of years in the past, we’d solely have a look at offers that they had been doing at the very least 30%. Clearly as rates of interest have modified, we’ve needed to pull that quantity down only a tad bit. However yeah, I feel that’s a good quantity within the quick time period rental house. However truthfully, I feel a whole lot of it’s going to return right down to you as a person investor and what your danger tolerance is as a result of perhaps you can exit and get a 50% money on money return, however is that going to drive you right into a battle zone perhaps the place your tenants perhaps aren’t taking the very best care of your property and there’s different points that come alongside.

Tony:
So I feel a whole lot of it does come right down to your danger tolerance or how dangerous of a undertaking is it? Are you going to do new development for the primary time? You’ve by no means accomplished it earlier than the place perhaps the returns are phenomenal, however you’re going to sit down ready for permits for 12 months earlier than you even get the inexperienced mild to construct something. So there’s a whole lot of nuance that I feel that goes into money on money returns. However normal rule of thumb, yeah, someplace within the double digits to start out with might be a great place to begin.

Ashley:
I simply regarded up Adam’s episode the place he talks concerning the motel and the leak that he bought in its episode 375.

Tony:
In case you’ve been round BiggerPockets for some time, we throw an enormous Black Friday ebook sale yearly. It’s actually the very best time of 12 months to get our books and all of the bonus content material. We’ve obtained greater than 60 books now. And to have fun the enormity of the catalog, each title can be discounted as much as 60% off. Mainly nothing will not be on sale. And these are the very best offers you’ll get on our retailer all 12 months. The sale is going on beginning right now at biggerpockets.com/black Friday via December 2nd.

Ashley:
Okay, welcome again. Our final query is from the BiggerPockets boards. And the query is context is that we have now a pair different single household leases and we’re at present contemplating getting a HELOC from considered one of them to fund the down fee to a industrial multifamily itemizing that’s above 4 models. Would this be a nasty thought? Relying on our different monetary standings, we at present have superb earnings coming in from a number of leases and our companies, however the HELOC is inside consideration as a result of capital is dry. Coincidentally throughout this time attributable to different funding pursuits happening for us, we are able to completely make the curiosity funds and can be tremendous in the event that they shot up from say 10% to fifteen%, what am I lacking? Is there any purpose why I shouldn’t do that? Or is that this a traditional day incidence for folks to make the most of HELOCs for funding properties after they have the means to cowl any worst case situations associated to the mortgage? Oh, a great, he lack a house fairness line of credit score. So it appears like they’re making an attempt to get a key lock on their different funding properties. Is that the way you’re studying this too?

Tony:
Yeah, it appears like they obtained some fairness of their single household properties that they need to use to purchase this small industrial property.

Ashley:
And I’ve accomplished this earlier than. You’ll be able to undoubtedly do that. Examine small native banks the place they will provide you with a line of credit score on an funding property. It doesn’t must be your main residence, after which you may, in order that they need to take this cash, pull the cash off of the road of credit score and use it because the down fee. So I don’t do that. I often use a line of credit score to fund the acquisition value of a deal that I’m going to go and refinance all of it and pay the HELOC again, or I fund it for the rehab after which once I go and refinance, I pay it again. So on this state of affairs, they’re utilizing it as a down fee, in order that they’re most certainly not going to go and refinance and pull the cash again out of the property to pay the road of credit score.

Ashley:
So that they go on to say that they’re tremendous with making the funds on the road of credit score. They’re going to perhaps take cash from their different investments, no matter it’s to pay that off. So what the very first thing I’d have a look at is analyze the deal and be sure to are together with these funds to the road of credit score, and what’s your cashflow after that? Does the deal nonetheless make sense based mostly on that? Since you do need to run the numbers to see what the deal truly does for you. So perceive that you should add within the mortgage on the property, plus additionally the HELOC funds that you simply’re going to be making to pay that again.

Tony:
Ashley, one factor I need to drill down on. You mentioned that you simply often use it in type of like a brief time period occasion. Why is that? Why has that type of been your most popular strategy?

Ashley:
As a result of the rate of interest is often increased than if I used to be going to go and get long-term debt, like a 15, 20, 30 12 months mounted price mortgage on it, plus variable as they indicated that they’re okay with the rates of interest swinging from 10% to fifteen%. They nonetheless can cowl that, which is nice that they’re already understanding that might occur and contemplating that. In order that’s one factor I don’t like about it’s that it’s variable. Additionally, some line of credit are just for a sure period of time the place on the finish of a time period, say 5 years, the financial institution can go forward and both name the word and say, okay, you might have $50,000 that you simply’ve taken out, we at the moment are going to finish your line of credit score and we’re going to amortize that fifty,000 that’s left over the subsequent 15 years and also you’re going to make funds again to us based mostly on that amortization schedule. So there’s a pair, and that undoubtedly will depend on what kind of line of credit score you get, issues like that. However I like simply utilizing it for short-term functions after which getting a greater rate of interest for one thing that’s extra long-term.

Tony:
Yeah, we’ve by no means used the HELOC earlier than. Often if we’re doing rehabs, it’s personal cash that we’ve sometimes used. So we haven’t pulled the HELOC particularly. So perhaps you may even educate me a bit right here, Ash, however I suppose what are a few of the questions if this particular person did need to transfer ahead with the heloc, such as you talked about, hey, what occurs on the finish of the time period that’s one thing that perhaps folks don’t take into consideration? What are another perhaps gotchas that this particular person might not be fascinated about because it pertains to pulling a HELOC and utilizing it as a down fee?

Ashley:
If there’s any necessities? So typically I run into the circumstance the place the financial institution will need me to maintain my checking account for the enterprise at that financial institution. They need my deposits. In order that could possibly be a requirement. They might ask to have your financials each single 12 months. So at this one financial institution, yearly I’m submitting my private monetary assertion, my tax return, any of my accomplice’s tax returns, my enterprise tax returns to this financial institution. One other factor to look out for is to how do you get the cash off of the road of credit score? So in a single circumstance, one financial institution, I’m filling out a type and I electronic mail them the shape they usually deposit it into no matter account I would like one other financial institution, there isn’t any type I’ve to name or electronic mail one of many mortgage officers and request for them to do it. So in different circumstances, I’ve seen folks simply have a checkbook the place they will simply write a verify and the cash comes off the road of credit score.

Ashley:
So I feel understanding what that course of is. So for instance, when you’ve got the checkbook, we could possibly be at, and I’ve actually seen this earlier than the place a man had his checkbook from his line of credit score, and I’ve seen one other man together with his self-directed IRA checkbook be at meetups and be like, I’m prepared to put in writing checks. Who needs to speculate with them? Like tremendous cocky, don’t try this guys. However I’ve seen. However should you get a checkbook, you may write the verify each time the place if I need to pull cash off my line of credit score and I’ve to submit this type to the financial institution or I’ve to electronic mail the mortgage officer, I’m restricted to banking hours to have the ability to try this too. So I feel understanding how one can get your cash off the necessities for sustaining and establishing the road of credit score, understanding that too, and if there are necessities to resume your line of credit score, what that appears like.

Tony:
They usually touched on a bit bit within the query too, however I feel simply the variability of the particular rate of interest. Let me ask Ashley, for the road of credit score that you’ve got, is there a cap on the speed or can it transfer with none restrict?

Ashley:
I truthfully do not know. It’s by no means gone increased than 10%, however considered one of them began, I’m making an attempt to think about what 12 months I took it out, perhaps 2017 or 18, and it was at 4.75% and it’s labored it’s manner as much as 10%. And I feel proper now I simply obtained a discover that it’s right down to 9.25 or one thing like that proper now. However that’s a giant swing. I imply, that has made, yeah, it made an enormous distinction. And if I had pulled out cash, then verse now as to what the curiosity fee can be each single month. And that’s one factor good to know too is should you’re simply making curiosity funds or how, I gave the instance that in the event that they name your mortgage, they might amortize it. We now you’re paying principal and curiosity. And that truly occurred to considered one of my enterprise companions. He took out a line of credit score they usually truly transformed it, I feel it was after two years, transformed it and mentioned, you may’t pull any more cash off. We’re changing it to a 15 12 months time period mortgage. Now he makes these funds on it, however I don’t know, I can’t keep in mind what his rate of interest is. However that may be one thing to consider too, is okay in the event that they do convert it to a long-term mortgage, how do they set up what my rate of interest is at the moment too?

Tony:
