Quotes:

“To find the property's value, we need to do, you know, underwriting. So that's how we find the value of the particular property.” - Rama Chunchu

“The main reason behind going with a conservative with underwriting. So even in current market situations. So, we need to spread a little bit higher because no interest rates are going up. That definitely another factor.” - Rama Chunchu
