How to calculate your return in an investment?
|
That is the question I always get. But that’s wrong. You should start by what’s the return that you need to get from an investment to make it worthy. That’s the real thing. Is it 5%, 10% or 15%? Would it be the same if the interest rates are 3%, 5% or 8%? You can get the answer in the course below ​Investing better than 99% of people But for now… let’s go back to the question. It’s such a recurring question that you’ll even find dozens of articles, posts, or videos on YouTube trying to answer it. People are afraid. Afraid of not finding hidden defects in a property before buying it. And I’m not talking about structural defects… or at least, not just… Imagine arriving on the first day to see what you've bought, now being yours, and realizing that the electricity was worse than you expected. Or that you can hear the neighbor too much when they flush the toilet. Or that you have a very nice neighbor that love the fiestas until late… from Tuesday to Sunday. You can be quite jodido is this happens. The same happens when, after calculating the profitability of a property, what you had on paper turns out to be just a mirage. Going from calculations to reality is very complicated, and gurus on the internet sell it as a simple formality. What was supposed to be an 8% net, ends up being an 8% gross… And then you realize that the 2 weeks to find a tenant become 2 months. And the insurance grows over inflation, as well as the condo fees or municipal taxes… In the course below, I provide my personal Excel File to review all these scenarios. It includes taxes, inflation rates for key elements, appreciation, cash flows, mortgage, interest rates, upgrades… It’s my personal tool that gives me the go or no go in 5 minutes. But here is the interesting thing… Good opportunities need to be created, not just detected. And that… and not the magic Excel File is what you should be considering. ​Is this piece of Real Estate a Good Investment – $29.90.

I hope you had not been in one of those… A meeting with a Power Point. Around 130 slides… Yes. One. Hundred. Thirty. Graphs. Tables. Appendices explaining the appendices. The speaker? Monotone. Boring. Like a GPS giving directions in the desert. A funeral seemed a fiesta in Ibiza. Slide 14… Slide 38… Slide 79… Around slide 92 something magical happened. One of the client directors fell asleep. Not metaphorically. Actually asleep. Head tilted. Eyes closed. The kind of sleep that says: “I’ve...
How you do anything is how you do everything. Leave something half-done or poorly executed and people assume the rest of your work looks exactly the same. Maybe that’s unfair.Maybe it’s not true. Doesn’t matter. That’s the perception on the other side of the table. If you don’t show leadership in a simple information meeting, why would anyone trust you to lead when the deal gets complicated? If you perform poorly once, what are the chances the other side believes the next time will be...
Everything you want is on the opposite side of fear. Let’s pause for a minute and let these words sink. I’m in the middle of a complex transaction for my real estate businesses… and those words couldn’t resonate more in me. Those feelings tell me that I’m on the right path. I’m getting out of my comfort zone, and this is great. There is nothing positive in the comfort of your couch. I can’t tell you this. If you don’t feel those butterflies in your stomach. If you don’t feel the fear. The...
