Experienced lenders know on a full-cost, total time horizon basis, REO has less PV than puking the paper. Shadow lenders (with only a handful of exceptions) do not have staffed REO depts. The puke paper trade together with DSCR covenants (tick tock) will be signifcant factors.

CPI is not inflation. CPI methodology minimizes print via hedonic adjustments, buy/rent gradient and “dynamic” seasonal adjustments. Remember the same entity that prints CPI pays for it via COLA adjustments. This goes back to the Boskin Commison (1996)
