Unlocking Costa Rica: 25 Years of Real Estate Investment Secrets

Dylan Silver (00:00.74)
Hey folks, welcome back to the show. I’m your host Dylan Silver and today on the show we have Rob Christian. Rob has been buying and selling land tracks in Costa Rica for 25 years. I’m excited to talk with him today. Rob, welcome to the show.

Rob Christian (00:17.134)
Thanks Dylan, great to be here.

Dylan Silver (00:19.664)
So, so many questions, so many ways that we could go with this, but starting off from the top, how did you get into real estate investing?

Rob Christian (00:28.77)
Yeah, well first I’m not a real estate agent and I don’t have anything to sell to anybody. I’m just coming on your show to pretty much recount how myself and a group of other guys have tried to make good real estate investments that happens to be in another country. that’s really all I’m trying to do. We have had some requests from people over the years of, why don’t you create a course on how to do this?

A lot of us have a bunch of other business interests. This is not something we do for full time. It’s just a business that we have among many. And maybe we do that if there’s enough demand. So that’s something I’d like to know. anyways, yeah, back 25 years ago, Costa Rica is really a popular place now. It’s been popular for a number of years. every single year, the other than one year during COVID,

the tourism revenues and number of visitors really from all over the world, US, Canada, Europe keep climbing and Costa Rica is just becoming more and more of a popular place to go on vacation really for most people. And 25 years ago, I had a cousin that said, hey, you want to go river rafting with me and a bunch of guys. I said, where are you going? And he said, Costa Rica. And I asked my wife and

She let me go. So all of sudden we were there. you know, anywhere you go, you know, in that part of the world, you get picked up usually by a van, if it’s a group trip of some kind, and you head out into the jungle and hours and hours later you get to the river that you’re going to or to the ocean retreat or wherever it is. And back then there were a lot of dirt roads and mud and potholes and, you know, it was really backwater.

And the river that we got to, was just amazing. It was just rushing and roaring and we had a great time. But all along the way, I’ve been back in the States here with my dad, actually, we have been buying and selling tracks of land in vacation areas in the States. Just kind of just for fun, not really big volumes or anything. And on the way back from the rafting trip in the van,

Rob Christian (02:54.67)
I noticed all these for sale signs like for property. And back then the big real estate chains in the US were Remax, Century 21, ERA. And here we are riding in the van in the middle of this Central American country like out in the middle of nowhere. And we’re seeing for sale signs like ERA, Century 21, Remax. And it’s like, what’s going on down here?

Dylan Silver (02:57.265)
Hmm.

Rob Christian (03:24.002)
First of all, what are these American chains doing here? Like the only people that back then would go to Costa Rica would be big time adventure, outdoor adventure people like us. You we were all boy scouts. grew up caving and know, sleeping in caves and rappelling. And so this kind of activity was just normal. But like who else is down here and why? So after we got back, this was maybe 24 years ago.

Internet was just, you know, was just forming. You really couldn’t find a lot of stuff online. And I happened to pick up this newspaper for like English tourists. was English speaking tourists called that. I think it was called the howler monkey or something like that. And he had a few ads like for properties for sale. And so I just randomly called a couple of agents and one guy I talked to was a retired guy from Arkansas. He and his wife had moved.

They sold a business and moved down there. And so he gave me the scoop, you know, people are just starting to come to Costa Rica for vacation. And back then it was cheap. Now it’s not, but it was a backwater, dirt, pothole, mud road, but you can go to the beach and buy beers for 50 cents on the beach and, that kind of thing. And it was just real, real simple. And property was, was cheap and you could buy an ocean view lot, you know, for just maybe

$50,000 or $25,000 back then or sometimes even less. So it was real backwater. And I thought, well, I came back and told my dad, OK, I think I found a place where we can buy some cheap ocean view property, not like here in the States. And maybe we can, we were buying tracts of land, holding them, and then maybe three or four years selling them.

and basically doubling our money. And I said to my dad, I think we can do it there. And it’s really nice.

Rob Christian (05:35.502)
Excuse me. And he said, like, where is that? And that’s not in the US. And I don’t think so. And so he was out. And so I went to, had an insurance claims business at the time. And went to those partners and said, here’s what I found. You guys are in. There’s no mortgage money. It has to be all cash. They’re like, where is it again? And no, I don’t know. So I got sort of.

it by by that time nobody ever been to Costa Rica and nobody thought it was Puerto Rico or maybe an island somewhere. Nobody even knew where it was. And so I thought, okay, well, I’ll just do the first one myself. So my wife and I went back down and we we looked at a lot of places and, and in in the states we had been doing maybe buying if we bought a tract of land maybe that was subdivided already into maybe

five to 10 lots, we’d buy the tract. And then three, four years later, we’d sell the lots and double our money. That’s just kind what we were doing. And again, it was just kind of for fun. It wasn’t our full-time gig. So we went back down and we found near the popular town now called Haco, a eight acre parcel of land that was already subdivided into 12 lots.

And it was right across the street from the beach. And it was, the guy was asking like $220,000 for the whole thing. And I just thought, I said, honey, I think we got it. I think we have to do this. Nobody’s going to, you know, participate, but we have to do this. Excuse me. So we did. We bought it.

kind of played the same routine like we were doing in the States, made a few minor improvements and then sold the property pretty much same thing. We doubled our money in about three years and we actually sold, we sold the whole thing to somebody else who was going to sell the lots and then we owner financed it. So we doubled our money and made some owner financing money. And that was the thing that kind of got, got it going.

Rob Christian (07:58.124)
was that sale. And then I went back to my dad and I said, well, look, okay, I did the first one. He goes, you know, proof of concept looks good. He’s like, no, I don’t know. It’s outside the US. So he was dragging his feet, you know. And anyways, he was World War II. My dad had me when he was 50. So I had an older dad and he was World War II generation.

Dylan Silver (08:01.019)
Yeah.

Dylan Silver (08:04.774)
Here you go. Rupa concept, yeah.

Rob Christian (08:27.074)
Great Depression, you know, all my other friends had dads that were like…

Dylan Silver (08:30.044)
Costa Rica was not on the map for pops. Yeah

Rob Christian (08:32.512)
No, no, no. My friend said dads are all 10 to 15 years younger and they’re a little bit more with it. But anyways, I went back to my business partner, same guys. These guys were looking for deals, right? So I went to this group and said, all right, I did the first one. Here’s what happened. They’re like, well, are you going to do another one? And I said, yeah, but you you missed the first one, you know, but yeah.

Dylan Silver (09:00.218)
Yeah.

Rob Christian (09:01.262)
And so then all the money started pouring in. And so we did pretty much a syndication, like a loose syndication, not really SEC because it’s not in the States, but kind of a loose friends and family syndication. And I wasn’t taking any fees or anything. It’s just something that we were all doing. And some of the guys went down and all of sudden we were buying beach lots or buying 20 acre farms or buying all kinds of stuff, like a lot of stuff.

over 20 years and we still I think we bought about 12 we’ve bought 12 land parcels and we’ve sold nine and this has been over 24 ish years and the parcels have ranged anywhere from a really small single-family quarter acre lot to 800 acre parcel like all over the place

Dylan Silver (09:58.288)
Mmm. Yeah.

Rob Christian (10:00.216)
But they’ve been concentrated, unlike that first property, of further due diligence, said, okay, there might be even a better area to do this on a different beach. And so we’ve concentrated a lot of the buying around that, sort of it’s called the Pacific Gold Coast between Tamarindo to the south and Flamingo to the north. And that’s really become…

and was even then, but really in a really amateurish way. Now it’s like full on Gold Coast. People are moving there, bringing their kids, there are international schools, there are, there’s all kinds of infrastructure. It’s like the Beverly Hills of Costa Rica, like that stretch between those, Pacific coast stretch.

Dylan Silver (10:45.948)
Let’s talk about Costa Rica as a whole. For our audience who may still be unfamiliar with it, Costa Rica, was looking it up, between Nicaragua and Panama. so 25 years ago, of course, not where it is today, but you saw the opportunity. Why is Costa Rica seemingly this hotbed of development? Is there a reason for that? Is it divine intervention and luck? Were there lots of other people who were seeing this opportunity? Do you have any idea?

Rob Christian (10:52.972)
Hmm?

Dylan Silver (11:14.544)
Why Costa Rica for American investors?

Rob Christian (11:17.774)
You know, it’s it’s beautiful place. It’s warm weather. It’s There are two coasts. There’s Pacific and the Caribbean coast so you have your choice of two Coast cultures and they’re very different from one another and then you have the whole inland of the country that’s absolutely beautiful Mountainous high altitude cooler climate stuff. So it there’s like 12 different micro climates in the country so you can go there if you wanted a

like a tropical vacation rental house or a second home, or you want to buy property in a place like that. The variety of environments that you can choose from are anywhere from cool mountain climates to blazing hot beaches. It’s all in one country. And then the beauty and the biodiversity and the friendliness of the people. It’s just a place where it has an international

attractiveness. People come from all over the world to go to Costa Rica for really all those reasons and the numbers just keep getting better and better.

Dylan Silver (12:27.428)
It’s quite incredible when you think about it, because I would imagine, you know, the neighboring countries may have some level of that, maybe not to the same extent, but some level of that diversity of climate and attractiveness to international investors. But Costa Rica has been able to capitalize on it. I mean, I’ve heard it now for the last couple of years. It’s funny that we’re talking. I’ve heard people mention in going to Costa Rica vacation home in Costa Rica. And I’m just like.

Rob Christian (12:38.38)
Mm-hmm.

Rob Christian (12:44.739)
Mm-hmm.

Dylan Silver (12:55.108)
Of all these countries, why Costa Rica? Like, it’s not exactly right against our border, right? It’s not exactly like you can, most people can pinpoint it on a map. And yet we have all these people going here. as you saw from that initial investment, you know, 20 odd some years ago to today, what has been the biggest growth? I’m sure that you’ve seen so much of it.

Rob Christian (13:16.95)
Yeah, yeah, well, Costa Rica has other good things going on. You know, it, it has politically, it’s been very stable over the last 25 years and prior. So it didn’t have the communist intervention like Nicaragua to the North had. And, you know, Panama to the South is also stable, but Panama to the South, if you go to Costa Rica, you go to Panama, some people like one, others like the other. It’s kind of a mix, but

Panama is a little more Americanized. And so if you’re looking for, okay, I want to go to like a Florida where I can still buy Doritos and buy all the American products and everybody speaks English and you know, people go to Florida or some maybe they might go to Panama, but Costa Rica is a little more on the wild side. So people who like nature, natural adventures and swinging off of ropes and zip lining and

you know, looking for snakes in the jungle. And that’s really the thing that, you know, drove a lot of the early, travelers. But now it’s families that decide to go to Costa Rica this year instead of Florida. And you have just normal families going to the beaches or to the mountains, but still at this amazing nature and animal experience that you really can’t get anywhere else. But you know, that has not changed. That’s one thing.

that’s remained constant as sort of the environmental beauty and attractiveness of the country. But just overall development has changed. But the country has had a way, they’ve had a way to do development, but not let it get sort of out of hand because it could really get out of hand. And that’s, think that balancing, that balancing effort is something that

Dylan Silver (15:05.467)
Yeah.

Rob Christian (15:13.806)
keeps it special and hopefully it will continue to keep it special. But now the roads, a lot of the roads are paved. Some of them are not, but a lot of them, like the main tourist roads are paved and you can rent cars pretty easily and you have all the big hotel brands have places there. But the real magic is finding a privately owned boutique hotel either on the beach or in the mountains.

That’s where you get the Costa Rica experience too. Too many people go and they think that they think about Costa Rica. this is kind of like a Florida or this is maybe like Mexico or somewhere I’ve been. And they try an all inclusive. Well, Costa Rica is all inclusives. They’re not that great. If you want an all inclusive, you go to Mexico or the Dominican Republic. And if, if you want a beach vacation where there’s like white smooth sand and there’s no junk in the sand or monkeys to steal your stuff, then

keep going to Florida because the Costa Rican beaches are absolutely completely natural. they haven’t gotten rid of the mangrove swamps between the beach and the land. And you oftentimes have to take these little trails through the mangroves to get to the beach and they don’t comb the beaches. They don’t import sand and make it white and smooth and clean. There’s driftwood and there’s monkeys and there’s a dead fish and you know, it’s

Dylan Silver (16:31.665)
Hmm.

Rob Christian (16:42.154)
Natural it’s like how beaches would be if we didn’t manicure them and some people don’t want that they want the soft Sand with with nothing on it that I can use my little flip-flops, and I don’t have to worry about Maybe okay. There’s a dead fish with flies on it You know or the beaches are beautiful, but it’s not it’s not manicured like like the Florida beaches are and all that white sand is trucked in it’s not

Dylan Silver (17:11.886)
not native. I’m looking up Playa Flamingo. That’s in Costa Rica, correct?

Rob Christian (17:12.13)
from there, you know.

Rob Christian (17:17.738)
Yeah, yeah, that’s the main town that we’ve been sort of hurdled around. So it’s really the tourist infrastructure has improved drastically. Things like roads and services and gas stations and supermarkets. And it’s a lot easier to go to Costa Rica now. There are two international airports now. There used to just be one. And people can fly in and out. And just for the casual tourist,

Dylan Silver (17:38.108)
Hmm.

Rob Christian (17:44.846)
It’s become an accessible place. It’s not too far of a flight from either Atlanta or Dallas or Houston, and it’s more accessible. And just the average family that doesn’t want to go to Florida this year, they’ll go to Costa Rica. They’ll try Costa Rica instead of 25 years ago, it just the backpackers and the adventure seekers.

Dylan Silver (18:07.772)
Would you say I have experience traveling but not to Costa Rica? Yes, you pay more in airfare versus traveling to you mentioned Florida, right? And certainly Costa Rica is not right against the board of the United States. But then once you get there, you know, the dollar arbitrage is going further. So you end up saving money. Is that generally true versus if you did the same activities in Florida, just didn’t take a plane, you’re still going to end up saving money in Costa Rica?

Rob Christian (18:36.302)
If you, um, if, you do it right. So as a, as a vacationer, if you do a little bit of your own research, you know, because all the travel agencies and the places that advertise a lot online, they over, they really overcharge and you don’t, you know, you don’t need to, you might decide to go, Oh gee, I want to go to the Wyndham, the Wyndham property or a Four Seasons property, but

Dylan Silver (18:54.524)
Rob Christian (19:05.454)
If you’re going to do that, just go to Florida. That’s not the real Costa Rica. And it’s going to be really expensive. Really the way to do Costa Rica on the cheaper side is to stay in the privately owned boutique hotels on the beach or in the mountains or both. Go to the hot springs, see the sloths, the toucans. But you kind of have to poke around and do a little bit of research to find the best places. It’s become so popular.

Dylan Silver (19:09.286)
Yeah.

Rob Christian (19:34.658)
the prices have just been jacked up everywhere. But if you spend a little bit of time and do your own trip, you can still have that amazing vacation in Costa Rica that’s not overly expensive and you can really come back and go, man, that was so great. I didn’t spend so much money. I want to go back. But if you want to pay a thousand dollars a night and not really think about what you’re doing,

Dylan Silver (19:59.952)
That the two.

Rob Christian (20:02.892)
you’re going to miss the real Costa Rica anyway and be overcharged and then go, gee, don’t want to do that again. Well, you miss the real Costa Rica. just kind of took got taken advantage of by the marketers and didn’t do your own work.

Dylan Silver (20:17.03)
very interesting stuff here. had a I have similar experience traveling to the Dominican Republic. You’re making me want to go to Costa Rica right now. I just looked up Flamingo. I looked up prices on some just not airlines. And, know, it’s interesting because I’m from New Jersey, right? I live in Texas right now. New Jersey has some nice beach areas, Texas, not so much. But I mean, we do have beaches in Texas and all the beaches that I’ve ever seen in my life.

Rob Christian (20:28.107)
It’s great.

Rob Christian (20:38.572)
Hmm.

Dylan Silver (20:44.846)
I’ve this is the first time that I’m realizing those are probably not natural in a sense they don’t there’s no type of like like nature that you see on the beach it’s like a boardwalk and a beach and I’m up the this flamingo and I’m seeing like trees that look like they’re embedded into it’s not just a coconut tree it’s like I don’t know what you would call these types of trees but it looks like lots of different roots spreading throughout the beach and it’s it’s a definitely a different vibe and so

Rob Christian (20:49.55)
Hmm.

Dylan Silver (21:13.336)
I want to go just for that. But I digress here. Let me pivot here, Rob. Talking about investors who are looking into Costa Rica, and you mentioned, I believe it was Tamarindo and Flamingo, north and the south or south and north, the kind of the borders there for where people should be investing to. And then you also mentioned Remax, right? So when you were initially getting started with this and you’re calling up Remax or some of the other

Rob Christian (21:28.556)
Yeah.

Dylan Silver (21:43.06)
brokerages are you talking to someone who’s based in the United States working for remax are they based in Costa Rica and working for remax or both.

Rob Christian (21:51.534)
They’re all Costa Rican franchises. They’re all in Costa Rica. And if you think about where to invest, 25 years ago, it was that stretch of Pacific Coast between Flamingo and Tamarindo. that whole stretch is now way overpriced. That beachfront area, 25 years ago, it wasn’t. So if I were to do more investing now, which…

We have a 50 acre parcel for sale that we’re probably going to, it’s about a 10 X return over 20 years. We’ll probably be looking for something else down there, but we may not look in that same stretch just because a lot of the prices have really increased. But at the same time, there are still deals. Like you can’t categorically say, oh, well this

this stretch of beach from Flamingo to Tamarindo, you can’t buy there anymore. That’s not true. You have to work harder to find deals, you know, but back in 25 years ago, we were like, picked up an 800 acre parcel for $700,000.

Dylan Silver (23:11.053)
It’s hard to even compute in my head.

Rob Christian (23:13.673)
It’s absolutely wild to kind of think about what that was back then. And there were two guys, two brothers from Texas that owned it. And they thought they had 750 acres. They didn’t know they had 800. And they bought it. were even, you know, they came down 10 years before we did, and they bought it for $350,000. Like, 800, what they thought was 750 acres. And their wives were

Dylan Silver (23:35.708)
No way. my-

Rob Christian (23:41.11)
were beating them up like you know you you guys have owned this property it’s out in the middle of nowhere it’s in some other country just sell it double your money because we want new houses i mean that was the pitch right so our real estate agent came down and told me the story he said two brothers all they want to do is double their money seven hundred and eleven thousand dollars for 750 acres so we bought that one right away and then we bought

50 acre ocean view parcel up on a cliff we’ve bought. We bought a one acre beach lot and sold it. We doubled our money four months later and sold it.

Dylan Silver (24:24.08)
Are you a builder by trade when you’re going and develop? Did you have a background in construction?

Rob Christian (24:28.972)
My, my, my dad was a builder and we’ve never built anything. We just buy raw, unimproved tracks of land and buy it and hold it and just sell the tract of land to somebody else. And we, we might fix a problem on a, on a title or get a permit for water or some minor thing like that. But these are, we don’t, we’re not building anything, but these are just raw, unimproved tracks of lands. But the.

Dylan Silver (24:35.558)
Nothing. No kidding.

Dylan Silver (24:42.096)
who wouldn’t pro- okay, wow.

Rob Christian (24:58.252)
The folks who are interested in them have been developers, have been people maybe like a guy wants to build his own neighborhood and live there. But if you’re looking at 50 acres, it’s usually somebody who wants to build something on it. We’ve been.

Dylan Silver (25:17.692)
Have you heard the term land banking?

Rob Christian (25:20.608)
Yeah, that’s kind of a new term and that’s…

Dylan Silver (25:23.324)
Is it, I’m not familiar with what this means, is this what this is or is it something totally different?

Rob Christian (25:27.938)
That’s kind of what we’ve been doing is basically buying a parcel of land sitting on it, but then making maybe making a few improved minor improvements to it or maybe installing a gate or a road or fixing a problem with the title or maybe getting a water permit because it only had electricity or you know, something like that or maybe here’s a parcel of land that’s in a very remote area, but it’s right on the edge of

the development that’s coming. And so, you know, we, bought a 20 acre farm that was on a mud road with no electricity and no water, for about a hundred thousand dollars. And it now has electricity. The road is paved by the municipality and, water. And that, that piece of land is now probably worth $1.5 million.

Dylan Silver (26:09.094)
Whoa.

Dylan Silver (26:26.306)
my goodness.

Rob Christian (26:28.238)
You know, so there are ways that you can buy tracks of land and people don’t think about real estate investing. Doesn’t matter where it is. It’s like, gee, I want to buy an Airbnb. I want to Airbnb a property or people forget, excuse me, about tracks of land. And you have to know what you’re doing. But if you know what you’re doing, you can make a lot more taking that same dollar and

Dylan Silver (26:35.59)
Yeah.

Rob Christian (26:55.17)
ditching the Airbnb and going and buying a track to land, you can also lose your shirt if you don’t know what you’re doing. So there are tracks, know, people just don’t think about tracks of land. It sounds boring, right? There’s nothing, I can’t go and stay on it.

Dylan Silver (27:10.512)
You know, what’s interesting, Robin, talking about this is the the boredom is as a double edged sword because it sounds boring, but you’re not dealing with this deep emotional attachment and a level of sometimes joy, but sometimes anger that people have associated with real property. You know, so when you have your house and you’ve lived in your house and then you have someone trying to come and buy your house, that’s different than

Rob Christian (27:32.12)
Mm.

Dylan Silver (27:40.432)
you have all this land, then you’re selling half of the land. It’s just inherently different. And so, sure, you might not be able to fix and flip the house or turn it into an Airbnb, but also, you don’t have to do that. So it’s actually a great tool to have in a real estate investor’s toolkit, and I’m surprised that more people aren’t doing it.

Rob Christian (28:01.624)
Well, yeah, also down, you know, in other, well, you can, you can get taken in the States, but it’s easier to get scammed or taken buying stuff, buying property in other countries. And with, with Costa Rica, you have to really watch who you deal with. you, you need, you need your own attorney, just like you would here. If you own a piece of land, your own attorney to check the title or help you with the closing or whatever. And you need your own real estate agent who can list it.

Dylan Silver (28:12.518)
Okay.

Rob Christian (28:31.33)
But there it’s a little bit of a crap shoot because those disciplines are not as regulated and watched carefully. And I’ve known people who, a really good friend of mine who found an awesome house that he wanted to buy. He’d been looking for it for like 10 years and he found it. It was right by this river that he wanted to live by up in this cool mountainous area. And…

Dylan Silver (28:38.588)
Yeah.

Rob Christian (28:59.374)
He had a contract on it and the whole deal and he sent his money. It’s again, it’s all cash. There’s, no mortgage money available there. He sent like $750,000 to the escrow company for the closing and they stole it.

Dylan Silver (29:10.989)
my gosh.

Rob Christian (29:18.262)
and he’s never been able to get it back.

Dylan Silver (29:21.212)
You know, that’s crazy, but you know as much as as much as that is awful There’s a probably very limited recourse that he can do anything at all

Rob Christian (29:29.336)
there’s very limited recourse or there are, for example, like in Costa Rica, there’s like in the States, if you want to buy a property, you go to the guy, the agent and say, where are all the disclosures? So the seller fills out the paperwork that says, nope, there are no problems like that. There are no boundary issues. There’s nothing on the land. There’s no contamination. And it looks like a seller’s disclosure. It’s a…

document where the buyer can go, what are the problems with the property? If any, and I can just look at the document and I can go, there’s a minor problem. There’s no problems with leaking. There’s no this or that flooding. No, you know, but there, there’s no seller disclosure. So you have to do you and your attorney and your real estate agent, you have to do your own research on that property to figure out if there are any problems. Well, you got to have a good realtor.

and a good attorney who’s going to help you do your own digging. so people will buy, they’ll end up not having a good team with them. And they’ll end up buying a property where the seller doesn’t have to disclose a problem. It’s up to them to figure it out. their agent and their attorney didn’t look hard enough and sure enough, there’s a lien on the title or there’s a boundary dispute or things like that. So you have to have a good team around you.

be able to trust if you’re going to give money to somebody to do a closing, an escrow agent, you have to trust that they won’t steal it, that they won’t run away with it. You have to trust that your attorney and your realtor will help you do the due diligence that nobody else is going to do other than you. But we’ve never had a problem. We have a great team. We’ve bought a dozen properties. We already sold nine of them. And there are real legitimate ways to make great returns.

in that property. But you have to have, have to know what you’re doing and you have to have a team around you to do it. And that’s what we’ve been fortunate to really put together. and we, I run a Facebook group. It’s not monetized in any way. It’s called move to Costa Rica. It’s just for, has like 8,000 members and it’s just for people who want to learn how to live and invest and move.

Costa Rica and our our focus is here’s here’s the stuff that you need to know to keep you out of trouble if you want to live there or invest there that your realtor is not going to tell you and your attorney may not tell you but we’re going to try to keep it real and so that you don’t get taken so that you don’t make a bad decision and yeah
