BIGGEST RISK with Ashley Garner

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. But the temptation is so great a lot of times to say, I'm...

J Darrin Gross If you're willing, I'd like to ask you, Joe downs, what is the BIGGEST RISK? Joe Downs To me, it's, I'll give you, I'll give you, all right, you just want the biggest I'm gonna go right to base. To me, it's change. It's sort of what I just alluded to, if we were, if, if we still thought, because we weren't out there interviewing and investigating other third party management companies. 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...

If you're willing, I'd like to ask you, Jennifer Brener Seay, What is the BIGGEST RISK?
Jennifer Brener Seay
So I'm going to give you two Darrin, one of the biggest risks, I think, is just having solid contracts, and the contracts are there to protect you from all different kinds of risks. So, you know, we're a small business. We've been in business for for 23 years. I think for a long time, I had a very simple contract that I don't think was probably protecting me from what could go wrong. And it was actually a real estate developer friend of mine, as we were going after and winning these bigger and bigger projects, you know, 15 floor ground up brand new builds, and we were going to be installing huge sculptures, he was like, You need a better contract. You need a better contract than this. So we really have worked to strengthen our contracts, to protect us, to protect the artists, to protect the clients, and in addition to that, or as a risk to the business and the economy, I, as a business owner, have never really focused on one vertical, because I got lucky in the 2008 recession that I had just taken on a big our first really big higher education project and our first Assisted Living Project, when kind of everything was hitting the fan at that time and corporate was falling apart. And it really showed me that in a business as niche as mine, I need to. To be diverse in the kinds of projects that we take on. So if one sector is having a hard time, we do not have all of our eggs in that basket. So we we work in in all areas of commercial real estate and with different kinds of companies and different industries to protect ourselves from things in the economy that I have no control over.
