J Darrin Gross:
I'd like to ask you, DJ McClure. What is the BIGGEST RISK?
DJ McClure:
I think right now, one of the BIGGEST RISK that I see among many is the number of properties that are, you know, approaching a debt restructure, you know, there's a lot of short term bridge that for a lot of properties that's coming due. And so one or two things are going to happen, obviously, they're going to be able to, if they're able to put together the funds to structure a refinance, you know, it's likely going to be into a different loan structure or excuse me a loan program, predominantly, your Fannie and Freddie type programs being, you know, the more fixed set options in a lot of cases. And this has a dramatic increase on the flood insurance coverage requirements. And so you could take a property that's only paying maybe a few 1000, a building, and the new requirements, you know, could add and more than double or triple the cost of what they're having to pay per building.
And this isn't always something that somebody knows is coming. So if you're looking at a debt restructure and you're in a flood zone, you know, sooner than later, you want to have our team or someone look at that. Because not only could you increase the value of the property going into the refinance, which could reduce, you know, the cash in potential that may be required by being able to show that lender a higher valuation with a better noi.
But you're also avoiding that flood insurance coverage increase that would come with that. And then the other option of that being the same as if a seller or excuse me, an owner is forced to sell because the refinance is not possible. Nonetheless, that flood insurance cost is counting against that sale valuation. If you're having to sell in that scenario, you're probably already selling at a lower valuation than your business plan has at that point. So again, if the flood insurance costs can be reduced, again, that helps on that sale valuation to try and recoup as much of those investor dollars as possible.

BIGGEST RISK with Zachary Beach 2024
J Darrin Gross
And so if you're willing, I'd like to ask you, Zachary beach. What is the biggest risk?
Zachary Beach
Yeah, I'm glad you brought that like, it's interesting the way you walk through all that, because that's essentially what we're trying to do is minimize risk as much as possible. Warren Buffett always said that they all make all the best investors out there, not specifically real estate, look to minimize the downside and maximize the upside. And I think that's exactly what we've done here. We're creative financing. Because right when we buy a piece of real estate, we're not personally guaranteeing the debt. So we are not taking on the risk of the debt. It's actually on the seller, so we're actually pushing it back to the seller. And then what we're then doing is we're actually not taking on the full risk of the property either because when we go sell on rent, oh, we're actually pushing the risk now to the tenant buyer for handling any and all responsibilities of the property because it's tied to his option. So it's very interesting that you hear that. So our biggest risk when it comes to these two deals. One, if it was a subject to deal, the biggest risk always involves is the due on sale clause. So then how do you manage that do on sales cause risk? Well, you buy a product, we buy the property in a trust. And then because the Garn Saint Germain act of 1982 allows you to transfer ownership of a property for state or tax planning purposes. So we use that to try to manage the risk. And then there's lots of insurance companies nowadays. I actually have a due on sales calls insurance now, as well. So that's where we we certainly minimize that. So then what? So then if we look on the buyer side, what's our biggest, our biggest risk? Now our biggest risk is if our buyer defaults, on a on the on the option or the rent to own deal, which means that we gotta go to traditional tenant law, which means now we're gonna deal with an eviction. So when we look at that, those are going to be our biggest risks involved when we do our best to manage that tenant buyer risk by getting as big of a non refundable deposit as possible, because it's less likely they're going to default if they have more money involved in the deal.

BIGGEST RISK with Darin Davis
J Darrin Gross:
I'd like to ask you, Darin Davis. What is the biggest risk?
Darin Davis:
Yeah, and it's not a black and white answer. So and I get asked this question.
You know, a few times but and it's I look back the the biggest risk personally for me was if I didn't take any, okay, the fear, I accepted the risk by doing my first few deals, knowing I probably was not going to make a ton of money. All right, I just, and I accepted that personally, mentally, emotionally. Because I said, There's no way I can, I can figure some of this stuff out. So the risk there is there was accepted risk, and I took it, okay, education, knowledge, experience, it best thing I ever did. And they were small at the time. I mean, they were big at the time, but they I look, I fast forward to 20 years. I mean, they were the greatest things I ever did. Okay. And I always think about, you know, I've had a lot of broken bones, I was a crazy kid, I tried all kinds of things. And I always, I always thought about atrophy as an as an answer, okay. You know, you know, when you break your arm back in the old days, they put plaster cast on us, you know, today, I think you're walking around with a knee surgery, four hours later, whatever they do, but everybody knows what atrophy as you take the cast off your arms, half the size of your other arm, you know, looking at that, but I kind of sat back and said, you know, what you can either, you know, waste the time and the knowledge that you've learned by doing nothing, okay, which I think is incredibly risky. Or you can spend that time and knowledge to do something that will propel you and or your family to some place that you're going to go. Or if you want to take it to the next level, you can invest. And when I say invest, I don't mean like, physically invest, but make that commitment and that investment in yourself and your family to actually go out and execute. And I used to say something, I've said this a long time. And actually, I kind of forgot about it. But I used to say, education without execution is just entertainment. My three E's, you know? And to me, that's, that's the risk that I will not accept me, you know, so not really an insurance answer. But you've got to take some emotional and mental risk, and even some financial risks, and I've lost money, there's no doubt about it. On my own money, okay. I've lost money. And but I look back, and I'm happy that I did what I did. I learned a lot. Now, if you don't, if you don't change your ways that you've learned those lessons, then that don't do it. Okay. But if you're willing to accept that, hey, I can take that risk, I can live with it, and I can learn and move on. That's, that's powerful.
