BIGGEST RISK with David Blumenfeld

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...

BIGGEST RISK with David Codrea

J Darrin Gross I'd like to ask you. David Codrea, what is the BIGGEST RISK? David Codrea For me, what I see as the biggest risk that impacts my business the most is time. So it looks at it, there's a huge benefit to time, but there's also a huge risk if you are not able to get the ball moving on things so extended vacancy or or even just time to make a decision if it takes too long for your organization to get things through, to make, get, get approval for something, or make a decision on what you're going to do with this tenant or that tenant.

BIGGEST RISK with Joel Miller
Commercial Real Estate Pro Network
J Darrin Gross I'd like to ask you. Joel Miller, what is the BIGGEST RISK? Joel Miller Well, I'm going to surprise you with the answer, but it's going to be two pronged here. From a financial standpoint, I will say that rental property can be a source for risk, which is why you typically should form an entity that you hold your properties in that protects your personal assets from things that might happen within your entity related to those properties. And on top of that, you know, I do recommend carrying replacement costs insurance on your properties and. A commercial liability...

If you're willing, I'd like to ask you Tudor Vasiliu, what is the BIGEST RISK?
Tudor Vasiliu
Oh, that's that's a hard one. Um, I mean, I can speak about so many things, but at the end of the day, the base of of of how we how we interact with people and how people interact with each other. I believe, you know, from my standpoint, is empathy, empathizing with your with your family, with your friends, with your clients, with everyone around you. I think that's a great way to navigate life and the loss of empathy is when the bad things happen. And I think, you know, we can be seeing that across the world, and nowadays it's everywhere, and we're asking ourselves, why is that happening? I don't think there's a, there's a easy answer to that, but there, you know, the the answer for me is try to keep that, keep alive that old sense of of old time, empathy that we were educated with, you know, the values that our parents instilled in in us and the education instilled in us, and even if you know the world is so much faster nowadays and so much more selfish and so on. Why not? You know, stick into those. Um, good old love and appreciation for the other. And I think this is the way we can make a better place, or make the world a better place, not losing that empathy. If we do lose it, I don't know, just slap, slap out ourselves over the head and snap out of it. Because it's not by being selfish and by being self centered that we will, you know, make the world a better place or make an impact. So just caring for for the other next to you, and with that attitude, it's just you would probably achieve a lot in life. That's how I'd see it. Darrin
