1 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.070 Johny Fernandez: What is a zero balance letter? 2 00:00:03.390 --> 00:00:06.150 Sean Murray: What is a zero balance letter? A zero balance 3 00:00:06.150 --> 00:00:09.000 letter is essentially a payoff letter in which the balance is 4 00:00:09.000 --> 00:00:12.330 actually already zero. That formally states that there is no 5 00:00:12.330 --> 00:00:14.460 balance. It's something that another lender or funder might 6 00:00:14.460 --> 00:00:17.790 want to see. To be 100% certain that there's no outstanding 7 00:00:17.820 --> 00:00:20.580 obligation with the competitor, they might say, we need the zero 8 00:00:20.580 --> 00:00:23.460 balance letter in order to move forward on the deal.
