And in just a minute, we're going to speak with Travis about passive investing in real estate.

I would say the BIGGEST RISK in passive investing to me is partnering up with the wrong team. It can be disastrous, as we've talked about, but, you know, if you can't execute a business plan, specifically if we're not talking about value, add real estate. So say we're talking about new development new construction, it can be a very bad scene. So I would say you're aligning yourself with the right folks picking the right partners and doing your due diligence up front to mitigate those risks.

I'd like to ask you, Mark Ritter. What is the BIGGEST RISK?

Mark Ritter 30:00

As a lender and people who like to lend money for your real estate investments, my BIGGEST RISK that we come across is is it is kind of nothing to do with real estate. It has to do with the people behind it. When loans go bad in our cases, the vast majority of time it has to do with the people behind it.

Today my guest is Rich Sarkis. Rich is the executive chairman of Reonomy, a leading provider of property intelligence to the commercial real estate industry. And in just a minute we're going to speak with Rich about Reonomy and how you can utilize that to help grow your business.

The BIGGEST RISK right now for companies and individuals alike is to almost freeze and to not make decisions that they ought to be making. In our world. That means specifically embracing data technology, information insights, to be able to when things do pick back up beyond the front foot and not get caught, shortchanged, basically.

Today my guest is Glen Mather. Glen is the founder of NuView IRA and has been its leader since 2003. In 2018, he also created NuView Trust, expanding the growing business of self directed IRAs into new services to further reduce and eliminate taxes. In just a minute, we're going to speak with Glenn about how you can use a self directed IRA and a little bit about the difference between a custodian and a fiduciary.

I think when you go well, with any kind of investment, you kind of have two choices. You can invest based on the recommendation of others, or you can invest based on your own knowledge. And certainly, maybe alongside recommendations for others where you can actually do your own due diligence on the process. That's what self direction is all about.

Today my guest is Jake Marmulstein. Before grant before founding his company Groundbreaker, Jake held a number of roles involving real estate and technology, supporting the growth of early stage digital technology ventures, while working with the government on foreign direct investment by Fortune 500 companies.

So Darrin, the BIGGEST RISK for Groundbreaker in as I as I look at our business, and what we're doing is really managing expectations with people. Software is a living, breathing thing. And it is very challenging for people to evaluate. who aren't typically Software buyers and a lot of people in real estate aren't. So our job is to be good stewards of the, you know, good stewards to other people.
