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...

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.

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.

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...

If you're willing, I'd like to ask you Creek Stewart, what is the BIGGEST RISK?
Creek Stewart
That's a great question, and I think most people would probably expect me to say that it's being lost in the woods or being struck by a natural disaster. But I guess I'm going to get real personal on this one I me personally being a wilderness survival instructor and a preparedness consultant. I see all of the bad things and think about all of the bad things and think about all the scenarios, right? And it's really easy for me to get caught up, just too much in all of the things of this world. And so I think my biggest risk is thinking that they, that they, I don't know, giving, giving them too much value, versus the things that are eternal, right? The things that last forever our life and these little natural disasters that happen, even though I'm in this business and even though I sell books on the subjects, they're just little tiny blips in this lifetime of eternity. And so for me personally, it would be to consume myself with the thoughts of the temporary things versus the eternal things. And I'm going to quote scripture on you. I always, I always think about this verse from Colossians, you know, set your mind on the things above and not on the things of this earth. And so my strategy for navigating that is to take time each day and try to spend time in solitude and prayer and reading scripture, and, you know, try to dig in a little bit deeper to the eternal side of things, so that I just don't focus so much on the negativity and the temporary.
