 J Darrin Gross If you're willing, I'd like to ask you, Ashley Garner, what is the BIGGEST RISK?   Ashley Garner I think the biggest risk is to be under capitalized and and ultimately, you know, a property can go up in value, or the the P and L can show a profit, but if you don't have enough cash flow to pay the bills or make the repairs that you need to make, or make the improvements you need to make, then you you're in a tight spot, and that puts everything at risk, and that's an avoidable risk to not be under capitalized.

If we refuse to do all that and just head in the sand, we would probably start falling behind other storage facilities, other competitors, who are managing their facilities better than we...

J Darrin Gross If you're willing, I'd like to ask you, Peter Roisman, what is the BIGGEST RISK?   Peter Roisman Well, the biggest risk, in my mind, for besides physical property itself, is the occupancy and and and the rental rates. So if you have an underperforming leasing team. And your occupancy drops into the 80s, you know. And at one point, 15% of the properties in Houston were under 85% you're at risk. That is, that is a high risk, too. So in to flip that, to address that risk, you have to be high performing at leasing, which, which means you're not at risk at all. You're lowering...

J Darrin Gross And so if you're willing, I'd like to ask you. Brent Kessler, what is the biggest risk?   Brent Kessler Yeah, well, let me answer it a couple different ways on there. But so as far as a risk, okay, as far as in our business, and what we do when you have this type of policy, I tell people all the time, there is no risk at all, because nobody's ever lost money in a whole life insurance policy. But then I stop, and I say, wait a minute, there is one risk. The risk is you, the risk is you the client and how you use the policy. So you're the only one that can screw this up. You...

I'd like to ask you. Blake Rogers, What is the BIGGEST RISK?

 

Blake Rodgers

Sure. So I think in in our space, we say this all the time to to our investors, because they ask us this question as well, what? What's, what do you think the biggest risk is here, guys with this asset class? For us, it's really, since we're buying single tenant deals. I think it's the single tenant nature of these deals. We're buying vacant sites a lot of the time. So the risk for us is you either lease it or you don't, and you either do it in the amount of time that you said you would or you don't. So that, I think that for us is just being hyper focused on, you know, how long is it going to take us to do this. What are all the other, you know, properties in this market leasing for making sure we have all the data and that we're and we're underwriting the amount of time that we need to to lease these up, and that we're buying a product that these tenants want, and that's not going to sit there for a long time, because that's, that's the way that, the way that we can really get hurt, but we can control this risk, though, this isn't, you know, just like a macro risk. A lot of guys in our space got hurt pretty bad four or five years ago when interest rates went crazy during covid, and so that was a huge risk, and some of those guys just didn't foresee that coming. And so that's that's one thing, but for what we can control in buying these types of properties, it's really determining how long do we have to lease this and making sure that we we execute on that business plan.
