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. ​ ​ PD 1: If you liked this email, don't keep it in secret and forward it to a friend.

He’ll be president in hours and he wrote the email of today. “One thing we all need to remember is that a little effort is the best replacement for excuses. If we were all to make an effort to understand what’s going on around us, to make that quantum leap to using our higher, non-complacent minds, some lucid thinking might result. Problem solving is education at its best. Just as understanding can replace hatred, education can replace fear” Donald Trump Education. Learning something new...
During my holidays, I’m supervising a few Real Estate projects. And you know when you try to do shortcuts. They hit you in the ass one day or another. No matter how fast you run, how hard you try… your main job becomes to hide and deal with missteps moving forward instead of stopping for a second and redo the thing in the right way. Sorry. There is only one way of doing things and be successful: doing the right thing. The truth is effortless. You don’t need to remember and justify your lies....
The Skye Bridge, connecting the Isle of Skye to mainland Scotland, was one of the UK's earliest Public-Private Partnerships. Opened in 1995, it was financed and constructed by a private consortium under a 27-year concession. The bridge replaced a ferry service and promised faster, more reliable access to the island.
