BIGGEST RISK with Nic Deangelo
Commercial Real Estate Pro Network
J Darrin Gross I'd like to ask you, Nick Deangelo, what is the BIGGEST RISK? Nic Deangelo The biggest risk, I'll give you the biggest front side and the biggest backside. Biggest front side is always going to be due diligence on our side, we have beaten that to death. We have overlaid many economic factors. Our due diligence confidence is at an all time high. But what I see in the marketplace is many people not doing the due diligence to a real, true conservative estimate of outcomes that is the biggest risk. And we saw that the last few years. And we see the back end of what that...

BIGGEST RISK with Christopher Tiessen
Commercial Real Estate Pro Network
J Darrin Gross I'd like to ask you. Chris Tiessen, what is the BIGGEST RISK? Christopher Tiessen The biggest risk, in my mind, is for our industry, that we're seen as a commodity is as seen as somebody that is not necessary between because before they go into the risk of getting mechanical parking and maybe the system not working, I will just, you know, let the whole project go away and not do the project. So that's our biggest risk that all of our companies in this industry are working against, and also that conventional parking is more attractive still than mechanical parking, even...

BIGGEST RISK with Ashley Garner
Commercial Real Estate Pro Network
J Darrin Gross If you're willing, I'd like to ask you, Ashley Garner, what is the BIGGEST RISK? Ashley Garner I think the biggest risk is to be under capitalized and and ultimately, you know, a property can go up in value, or the the P and L can show a profit, but if you don't have enough cash flow to pay the bills or make the repairs that you need to make, or make the improvements you need to make, then you you're in a tight spot, and that puts everything at risk, and that's an avoidable risk to not be under capitalized. But the temptation is so great a lot of times to say, I'm...
info_outlineDarrin: Jorge Newberry, what is the BIGGEST RISK?
Jorge: To not learn from the past. And so that would be for me to look at my own past and the past of others and see what has happened, how they navigated it and, whether it makes sense to, or how that should influence my actions today. And I'll give you a real life example, is that you know the market. I've been through a couple of downturns in the real estate market and towards the end of every up cycle is like today. Today there are the lenders are, freely giving out money. It's very easy to qualify. They have these, you know, kind of almost subprime loans called non QM loans, and things have gotten very easy and that happens every time. At the top of the market that the money is free flowing, the pricing gets expensive, everything gets really competitive. I'm trying to buy loans and other people coming up with money pay more than me, And they could be the winner of the bid. But really, time will tell whether they're the winner, the loser. So today, I think the biggest risk today is ignoring the past and the fact that we are probably in a very overheated real estate market and just overheated economy, which is likely to turn down very turn down in the near future. It's hard to say exactly when it happens, but now would be the time to take some chips off the table and avoid or at least minimize that risk.
