BIGGEST RISK with Justin Goodin

Commercial Real Estate Pro Network

J Darrin Gross:

I'd like to ask you, Justin Goodin, what is the BIGGEST RISK?.

Justin Goodin:

So I mean, my job as a developer is to obviously build a project on on time, on budget, you know, multiply my investors equity. The biggest risk for for my position is the uncertainty in the market in that, you know, three year time frame down the road when we go to, you know, one, lease up the property, sell the property. But you know, we have no idea where interest rates are going to be, where Cap rates are going to be, how the market is going to be in in three, four or five years down the road. So that, I think, is the biggest risk to me as a developer. I could build an amazing project on time, on budget, but when I get to the finish line, I go sell the property. Who knows where the market is going to be, who knows where interest rates are going to be? But I did everything right on my part for the past three years. It just so happens now that cap rates expanded values are down. Maybe that affects my refinance proceeds. Maybe that affects the what the buyer can pay for my property. So I would say, yeah, just the uncertainty of how the market is going to be in three years is my biggest risk as a developer.
