Even you can make money in Real Estate

If you focus on successful cases, you’re getting it wrong. Don’t get me wrong. You’ll learn something. But, if only 1 out of 10 makes it to the riches, you’re leaving 90% of the learnings on the table. ​ You can learn something of any project. ​ Things that went OK. Things that went badly. Things that went really badly. Things that you did right. ​ No questions why there are so many people looking for the next uberization of something. Uber of X, Uber of Y, etc… ​ Copy-cuts that sends you to nothing. Just loosing your money. ​ I know that very well, because I tried to create the next uber of home-services and it cost me a fortune. Not totally unsuccessful, but j*der… quite expensive. ​ Yes, I tried those things. ​ A couple of start-ups, a digital printer company, crypto, stock market, bonds, funds, ETF, funds of funds… ​ Do I regret it? ​ No. ​ Not at all. ​ All these things left on me some learnings. ​ And I finally got it. ​ And not only that… now, I think that I can even show how I do it. ​ Real estate is my thing. I’m sure that everybody can make money if the right tools are provided. If you are surrounded by the right peers. If you have patience. And a method. ​ I talk about my method in the link below.

When you spend enough time in Europe, you usually end dealing with a bank. It’s as lovely as a tooth pain. The EU is the bureaucracy hell of the world. A place that tells you even how the cap of a bottle of coke must be… and of course, they did not think about any market testing or user case. What for? Well… Banks. You can’t live without them, but you hate them. Mastodonts with benefits. Shield by government. Too much money invested in lobbies… or finding imaginative solution to hide bribes...
Many people challenge my preferred RFP strategy for PPPs: “Pre-qualify strong consortia, set a minimum technical pass/fail, and award to the best NPV bidder? They’ll just bid low and renegotiate later!” I get it. That tactic has been abused in Latin America for years. But we need to ask: Why has +20% (often +50%, +100%, +200%) become almost inevitable there? Let’s look at the real causes: Why PPP prices skyrocket after award 1) Renegotiation is systemic. In transport PPPs, up to 78% of...
Africa. Mid-2010s. You’re in the middle of a multibillion-dollar PPP. Your consortium is assembled. Your lenders are mobilized. Your bid team is burning cash like Tesla compensating executives… The agency launches the RFP. Everyone is excited. A fair, competitive process… in theory. And then it starts: Deadline extended. “More time to refine proposals,” they say. Another extension. Silence.
