J Darrin Gross If you're willing, I'd like to ask you, Brian Seidensticker, what is the BIGGEST RISK? Brian Seidensticker I guess, you know, as far as buying tax deeds or the fund itself, it's for you to to, for me to interpret. Well, I think it's, it's from a tax, just tax sale properties, taxes and taxes in general, the biggest risk is the underlying property value, right? That That alone addresses the you know, is this, is this lien going to am I going to be able to make a return on this lien or this deed at the end of the day, or not?

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. That's my safety net,...

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...

J Darrin Gross I'd like to ask you, Simon Isaacs, what is the BIGGEST RISK? Simon Isaacs Wow, I would say the biggest risk here. Big Question, the big question. Demand. I. Demand is the biggest risk here. You know, demand for properties, demand, if you know you only need one event, one weather event, and everybody ends up leaving. So I would say demand and weather are the biggest risk in my book, yeah, clearly, in Florida, you're, you're one, you know, one, one major weather event, or something like that from, you know, sour people souring on the on the place, or at least,...

I'd like to ask you, Eric Voyles. What is the biggest risk?
Eric Voyles
For you? No, I'm looking at it from the perspective of my clients, you know, the people I work with their biggest risk is potential for failure. And if you fail, when you expand many times you drag your entire company down with you. And so I always try to help people understand that not only is being in charge of an expansion if you're in a larger company, a potential career limiting assignment. But, you know, you you could you could actually if it's your own company, you know, you could have complete financial failure of your business, if you make the wrong choice. And so that's why we focus most of what we do. I'm trying to help people drive down that risk of relocation. You know, we began the process I mentioned I come out of economic development. So we began the process of once I got here of assessing the property. We looked at what are our costs, and really have tried to understand our cost structure. Then we've and we've tried to understand what companies need that structure. Then we've tried to understand what, you know, the political risks that might be involved with our property. And so there weren't really incentives available. So we have worked aggressively to put incentives on the footprint that you can get access to. And again, that that kind of ties back to financial. But you know, it also demonstrates that we are 100% committed to your company, to work with you, in the long run to achieve not just profitability, but stabilization in the shortest time frame possible, then we'll work with you to grow profitability. So all of this is really important when people are making decisions, we try to understand our market so that you can build a business plan that you can have confidence in, you can take it to the bank, you can take it to your board of directors. So you know, we many times are helping people collect the data that they need to put into their business plan. And you know, if it's good, and you can make your decision favorable for us, that's great. If if it doesn't match up to something else, that's great, too, because we've helped you make a decision. So you can move on, it allows us to focus on other things. So my entire our entire thought process in this is risk mitigation. And by doing this, when someone decides that we're the right place, what we've seen is those companies tend to be successful, they usually are willing to come back and provide testimonials for us about what we've done, that they didn't realize they needed help with at the time, but the things we did made a difference in their startup and their stabilization and in their long term profitability. So that that's what we focus on. I think that is the biggest issue that that corporate executive or that business owner has to address when they're trying to expand, they need to think about what are the risks associated with making this decision, and they need to choose the right place.
