BIGGEST RISK with John Stoeber
J. Darrin Gross: I'd like to ask you, John Stoeber, what is the BIGGEST RISK?
John Stoeber
Right now, I still think COVID. And just the environment we're in is the biggest risk, especially if you're dealing with C class properties, you tend to deal with residents who are on the lower end of the socio economic scale. So these are the people that you know, their servers, waitresses, receptionist, they actually have to go into work. So if there's a shutdown, like, they're not going into work, or if they get COVID, like, and they may not have a job anymore. So I think that is a huge risk, like from a property perspective, but also with this, like the home market right now. And it you know, it's February 2021. Like the whole market just seems crazy. If you're, if you and your listeners have been, like paying attention. I mean, just look at gamestop, AMC Dogecoin. It's just like it seems very unstable right now. Kind of bubbly and frothy. And like, I don't know if the lending market is going to be the same 12 months from now where people are able to get loans so freely. And if you can't get loans, that really drives down the number of buyers who can buy a property, which in turn is going to drive down values.
