Thank you, Saj Karsan, for the insightful analysis on Claros Mortgage Trust. Your breakdown of the book value, debt levels, and the impact of non-financial factors on the share price was very helpful. It's reassuring to know the company's focus on multifamily projects and management's qualifications. Hopefully, many investors like me see the potential here and consider adding a small position to their portfolios. Great work!
