Old Capital Real Estate Investing Podcast with Michael Becker & Paul Peebles
Netflix recently covered Jerry Jones's acquisition of the Dallas Cowboys and their rise to become the world's most valuable sports franchise. Jones didn't buy a team that was immediately winning. With patience and the money to build a better product- (better players) he transformed the Cowboys into becoming Super Bowl Champions within a few years. He was a value-added buyer. Just as Jones invested time and resources to turn the Cowboys into champions, Becker applies a similar strategy in real estate by patiently improving older properties to maximize their future value.

This week on Complex Systems, Patrick McKenzie (patio11) is joined by Joel Becker from METR. They discuss groundbreaking research on AI coding assistants.Joel et al's randomized controlled trial of 16 expert developers working on major open source projects revealed a counterintuitive finding: despite predictions of 24-40% speed improvements, developers actually took 19% longer to complete tasks when using AI tools, even though they retrospectively believed they were 20% faster. The conversation explores why even sophisticated professionals struggle to accurately assess their own productivity with AI tools, the industrial organization of software development, and the implications for AI's recursive self-improvement in research and development. It also touches on other perspectives from software developers using these tools professionally, and where we can expect them to improve rapidly.–Full transcript available here: www.complexsystemspodcast.com/the-great-developer-speed-up-with-joel-becker/–Sponsor: This episode is brought to you by Mercury, the fintech trusted by 200K+ companies — from first milestones to running complex systems.

Send us a text"Most people don't read the fine print until it's too late." This warning from Take It To The Board host, Donna DiMaggio-Berger sets the stage for a crucial conversation with guest and Becker shareholder James Robert Caves about common contract mistakes threatening community associations across Florida.Drawing on decades of experience drafting, negotiating, and untangling problematic contracts, Donna and Rob reveal why the distinction between proposals and contracts matters, and how seemingly innocent "boilerplate" language can become a community's worst nightmare. The discussion exposes how vendors strategically include provisions that protect their interests while limiting their liability – often capping damages at the contract amount regardless of the severity of potential future harm.Among the most dangerous contract provisions are those related to termination rights. Rob strongly advises against agreements that automatically renew and can only be terminated for cause, creating what he calls an "endless loop" where associations remain trapped in unsatisfactory and even dangerous relationships. Their conversation tackles particularly problematic contract types – telecommunications agreements with decade-long terms, elevator maintenance contracts with right of first refusal clauses, and the emerging trend of non-competition provisions appearing in landscaping and pool maintenance agreements. Through real-world examples, including a $2,500 maintenance contract that resulted in $100,000 damage, Donna and Rob demonstrate why contract review priorities should be based on risk assessment rather than contract value. Providing practical negotiation strategies while identifying must-have provisions you need inserted into your contracts, this episode delivers essential knowledge for board members and managers who want to protect their communities from costly contractual disasters.Conversation Highlights: How boards can ensure the proper legal entity is signing a contract—and why that's criticalThe difference between apparent authority and actual authority when directors or managers sign agreementsKey clauses every vendor or service contract should includeTermination clause traps and what to watch forCommon red flags that pop up in community association contractsThe enforceability of non-compete and non-solicitation clauses in vendor agreementsWhat makes a contract “illusory” and how to avoid themA practical rule of thumb for deciding which contracts require attorney review—beyond just the dollar amountRelated Links:Article: Association ContractsOnline Class: Condo/Co-op Board Certification ClassPodcast: Mastering Construction Contracts: Essential Insights with Steve Lesser
