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 going to just manage this myself and save that money, or I'm going to turn units out of operations. I'm going to use the money from operations to improve units. And then, unfortunately, then a water leak happens, or something happens, and you need to do 10 at once. Well, you don't have enough money to do 10 at once, and now you can't rent them, and you're in trouble and so, but if you've got a nice. Just reserve pile of cash, so to speak. Then you you may not enjoy spending it all right now, but you can, and you can stay online, and you know you can survive. So being without enough capital is 100% in my opinion, the biggest risk. And I know that's not necessarily an insurance thing, but I know you didn't ask for just an insurer. I do. I do have a I do have a physical risk that i is my number one but, but the under capitalization is my biggest risk.
