13 minPRO
3/6

Key Takeaways

  • Scenario planning develops 3-4 internally consistent economic futures (optimistic, base, pessimistic, stress).
  • Model portfolio metrics (DSCR, LTV, NOI, cash-on-cash) under each scenario to discover vulnerabilities.
  • Predetermined decision triggers overcome paralysis and bias during market transitions.
  • Update scenarios quarterly and document them in a written investment policy statement.
  • The goal is not prediction but preparation — ensuring the portfolio can survive multiple outcomes.
