I have a case study for a IB interview for a wireless remote conditioning monitoring (RCM) systems company.

I am asked to value the business using DCF, comparable quoted and comparable precedent transactions.

1)       Can anyone please advise how I should approach the DCF?

2)       And also calculating the WACC? 

They have provided Revenue, EBITDA and Opex numbers only in the case but then also provided a link to companies house which includes the BS but there is no debt in the business.

Under contract to buy my first home - house hacking a triplex. Property has been leased by the same three tenants for the last 5+ yrs, rents haven’t been raised since they moved in. Market rents have risen 70-100% in the same timeframe. All seem like ideal tenants (retired and take great care of the units) but I’d like advice on how to approach the rent increase conversation. Rents don’t make/break my mortgage payment but I’m leaving a lot on the table if I don’t increase significantly.

Best place to get pre-qualified for a mortgage?

I have some collections on my credit report. One from an electric company for $800 (imo they violated terms of contract and sent me to collections in spite of their fuck up), and an apartment for $80~ that charged me a cleaning fee when my apartment was spotless.

Despite these two collections have a 712-720 credit score.

So mortgage lenders care at all about the collections or is it mostly the credit score that matters?
