Every BHPH dealer faces it: do you hold firm for larger down payments because of the perceived reduction in risk per contract, or do you accept lower money down in order to move more units, grow receivables, and increase incoming cash flow?

On this episode, we break down one of the most important judgment calls in the business. Is more cash up front always the safer move, or can it quietly choke sales volume, future payment streams, and overall profitability? On the other side, when does lowering the down payment create smart growth—and when does it simply invite trouble?

We’ll walk viewers through real-world calculations that show the very real financial impact of both strategies, including volume, collections cash flow, exposure per deal, and the long-term effect on the portfolio. This is not theory. It’s math dealers can use immediately.
