      <title>How to Build a House of Bricks When the Big Bad Wolf is On His Way</title>

This represents a steep downturn in sentiment from a year ago&lt;/h2&gt; 
&lt;h3&gt;2021 was a boom year. In the buying frenzy that fueled the country’s rapid post-pandemic recovery, most asset-based and equipment lenders and lessors thrived. Business was brisk and default rates low. But the sunny blue skies of 2021 became partly cloudy in 2022, and things are beginning to look downright threatening in 2023.&lt;/h3&gt;
