    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. I think that that can lead to a lot of risk. Because one, you've got an organization that doesn't really know, like, hey, which? How are we making a decision? When? When are we going to make the decision? And no one knows you have, you know, opportunities that can be missed because of inability to move.   And I think we've, if you look at business as a whole, a lot of times, really, really big companies. These look like the 10 biggest companies that are out there. It used to be that big companies would get slower, and now the more the shift is, some of these big organizations are just getting faster and faster and faster. If you look at Amazon, they're they've just been pushing to go faster. It used to be you get something delivered in a couple days, and then it became next day. And now it's like, Hey, can we do the same day? Like they're getting faster. I think they're realizing that time is time is the biggest risk that they have to for them to lose a customer in my business, you know, I'm not Amazon, but if we don't get back to people, we're going to lose them. You know that that mentality is shifting through to everyone. Everyone Everyone wants everything right now. So if you don't have a way to do things faster and avoid that loss of time, that's the biggest risk that's out there. And probably for any business. https://www.linkedin.com/in/davidcodrea

    BIGGEST RISK with Joel Miller

    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 insurance. You know, on top of that, to pick up where the liability coverage on your your underlying insurance is. So that's my financial part of that answer.    But the other prong I want to talk about is relationships. The risk is in losing relationships. You know, I am well known when I'm talking to like teaching the landlord one on one classes and masterminds and stuff like that. I am known for saying this thing, that if I had a choice of losing all my money or losing all my relationships, I would lose all my money in a heartbeat, because my relationships will help me get my money back. And if I have no relationships and a pile of money, what good is that? You know that that's failure. You know, as far as I'm concerned, so it's important to build and maintain relationships that are sometimes lifelong and sometimes might be for one project or something like that, because those are the people that are going to get you from point A to point B, and you've got to be that person to somebody else as well. You know it goes both ways, and so what I say is, don't make a withdrawal from a good relationship just to make a deposit in your bank account.   https://www.joelmillerbooks.com/

    BIGGEST RISK with Creek Stewart

    J Darrin Gross  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. https://www.creekstewart.com/

    BIGGEST RISK with Tilden Moschetti

    J Darrin Gross 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.   https://www.moschettilaw.com/
