Commercial Real Estate Pro Network
J Darrin Gross If you're willing, I'd like to ask you, Vince Gethings, what is the BIGGEST RISK? Vince Gethings What I've seen, it'd probably be over leverage. I know it's kind of the easy answer, but a lot of the issues that I've seen of people being forced their hand is forced to take action is because they're an over leveraged position and they don't have they don't have the working capital. They don't have the liquidity to kind of weather the storm. So they're being forced to take action where a lot of kind of more seasoned investors are sitting on their hands right now, and they...

BIGGEST RISK with Eddie Speed

J Darrin Gross I'd like to ask you. Eddie Speed, what is the BIGGEST RISK? Eddie Speed Losing my money and losing my money means that I bought a note and I don't get enough recovery to go pay off my investment and still make a yield. So that could be that that could relate to non performing notes. Performing notes, it does everything down the line. It's like at the end of the day. That is why I like buying first mortgages with a cushion between what the collateral is worth and what I invested in the note. And that's the simplest form to say at the end of the day.

BIGGEST RISK with David Blumenfeld
Commercial Real Estate Pro Network
J Darrin Gross I'd like to ask you. David Blumenfeld, what is the BIGGEST RISK? David Blumenfeld We're going to answer it a couple different ways, if that's okay. So I think I mean, and this, this first one might, might seem like a self serving answer, but I think the risk for real estate companies in general for not looking at technology. And again, it doesn't have to be the biggest, you know, the biggest, the newest, the the flashiest, but if you're not incorporating technology into your your your day to day operations, whether it be from a marketing perspective, a company, a...

But if you're willing, I'd like to ask you, Matt Sullivan. What is the biggest risk?
Matt Sullivan
Well, I think the answer is relatively straightforward, because from an investor's perspective, it's a real estate investment. It's an equity investment. And so the risk to the investor is that the value of the underlying real estate decays to the point where they no longer have an interest because their equity interest has been reduced. Now, as you quite rightly say, so that is the risk, how do you mitigate that risk? How do you reduce that risk? How do you remove that risk. So the way the contracts are written, there are protections in there for investors. So, when we value the property, in some cases, we'll build in a little bit of a discount so that if the value of the property doesn't go up very much, or in fact stays the same, there's still a return in there for the investors. But really, the way that we look at the risk for both sides is it is absolutely directly correlated to the value of real estate. And so there are no extraneous risks that I'm aware of, there's no sort of risks that would not be sort of directly related to whether the value of the property goes up or goes down. So that's actually quite easy to quantify. Because we know from an investor's perspective, what the returns are going to be if the property goes up, what they're going to be if the property goes down, and the same for the homeowner, if the property goes up significantly, they're going to have a bigger share of the equity that they're going to be going to be paying. If it goes down, the homeowner actually benefits because they may not have, they may have to pay back far less than they originally received. And the other thing to mention is for our business as a whole, the biggest challenge, which is a bit like a risk, is education is getting people to understand what this Anneli what this animal is, how it's not debt, how it is not too good to be true, how it is a viable financial tool. So I hope I'm not mixing apples and pears there. When I'm talking about sort of, you know, risks and challenges, but I didn't, you know, I, we are seeing far more interest and willingness from homeowners funnily enough to investigate these types of alternative funding options. So, I mean, risk is a word I, I'd like to finish on opportunity, rather than risk however, that, hey, you
