Fire Burns My Apartment Building
Teachable Moment: (1:20)
- One of my favorite shows is called “The Prophet”
- It is about an entrepreneur who partners with struggling businesses to bring them to the next level
- His business model for success is, “People, Process, and Product”.
People
- Your property management team
Process
- Represents your day to day operations
Product
- The Property itself
Every highly successful, profitable piece of commercial real estate is based off of the 3 Ps
- When you have a great team (People) running a great system with proper procedures (Process), combined with a nice looking property in a great area (Product) that is the formula of success.
- If you have an undertrained team (People) poorly running a property (Process), with a property that is in a poor neighborhood and in poor condition (Product), then it will fail.

Thanks, Peter, for sharing with all of us your experience with your burning building. I do like to hear more details on the insurance response to this tragic moment: type of insurance, what to look for in it, what must be included in the policy in order for us to be reimburse and protected as owner,etc. If you have a video on this subject I would like to see it.
