Marcus Sterling began his career as a quantitative analyst on Wall Street before pivoting to real estate asset management. Holding a Master’s in Finance and a CFA designation, he now advises high-net-worth individuals on balancing liquid assets with property investments. His expertise lies in dissecting complex mortgage structures, identifying "buyer's markets" through raw data rather than media hype, and calculating the true cost of ownership beyond the sticker price. He writes with a focus on mathematical precision, aiming to debunk "guru" myths and help investors understand the mechanics of inflation, interest rates, and rental yields. His recent work tackles the granular details of calculating break-even points for refinancing and the hidden pitfalls of leveraging equity.
