J Darrin Gross I'd like to ask you Sundip Patel, what is the BIGGEST RISK? Sundip Patel That's a great question. Darrin, by the way, so the biggest risk that I foresee, and in our business, is the underestimating of the impact of AI and to our business and everything we do, from assessing risk, evaluating risk, to, you know, funding that risk, the entire process. So we as a company have taken some bold steps to get ahead, to understand how we can apply AI and what it will mean.

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,...

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. I think that that can lead to a lot of...

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...

I'd like to ask you Tilden Moschetti, what is the BIGGEST RISK?
Tilden Moschetti
I'd say that it's lack of communication. So and that's which is unfortunate because it's also the easiest to fix, right? So lack of communication will lead to failure to identify risks, whether it's, you know, the kind of risks we think about in in the insurance game, like, you know, fire and hazard risk, right? We know those things are there, but communicating with your property manager, communicating with your tenants, communicating with those kind of people, can all help identify, hey, yeah. And by the way, the sprinklers never work when we do the testing, or whatever those those things are that can help reduce that risk. But certainly in my world, things go bad when you don't talk to people. So if I could have the best deal in the world, send people their regular checks, but all I'm doing is sending them money, and if it just looks like a black hole, then investors are always going to be thinking, there's something wrong, you know, I don't I don't have any kind of transparency. I don't understand what's going on. Maybe this guy is ripping me off where it could be completely not true. But if I don't communicate, there's no way that they can ever know. And so I'd say, you. By far, almost every risk kind of boils down to that lack of communication, or at least communicating a lot, and really kind of understanding and listening and talking and kind of figuring out what's going on on any kind of asset is going to, at the very least, you know, reduce that risk, or help you identify it, or help mitigate it in some manner.
