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

Great power comes with greater responsibilities. When I come to Spain and I see the infrastructure of a relatively medium to high income country has and how this infrastructure has changed the lives of millions of people, you feel the weight on your shoulders. If you work in infrastructure, you are in a sector that is essential. I’m watching the AI revolution carefully. But the way a new road changes the lives of thousands of people with or without mobile phones in an instant is still too...
Every December, projects enter a strange parallel universe. And this week everything explodes. Budgets are frozen. Teams disappear. And every email ends with “before the Christmas break, please.” If you have been in “a Change approved before the Christmas break”. “A package submitted before…”. Etc. You’re in the trap. I did it once… Years ago. A change to be “approved” before the end of the year. So we rushed. Design team, commercial, legal, operations, the construction… everyone. Sleepless...
