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.

I’ve never seen anybody truly making anything great just by waiting. Just by not taking action. Just by letting train after train leave the station. Tomorrow. When I finish the next free-course. Or the next certification. Or when I come back from holidays. Or when I have time “in the summer”. Or when I read “that” book. Or else. Pray and wait is a strategy for failure. Or mediocracy. Problems don’t solve magically themselves. Wishes never come true unless you move your a$$. This is true for...

I told you about Horward before. 1982. New York. A young guy joined a company. Not as CEO. Not as strategist. Not as “Head of Vision.” Director of Retail Operations. Exciting, right? Mid-level. Replaceable. Just another guy executing someone else’s plan. The company was called: Starbucks The guy was: Howard Schultz At that time, Starbucks didn’t even sell the “Starbucks experience.” They sold beans. Machines. Coffee equipment. No romance. No Italian fantasy. No global empire. Just beans. But...

Excellent professional. First in coming in. Last in leaving. Sacrificing holidays, family time and even health. Limited recognition. Or not recognition at all. Tried to change career path. “If only you had specific experience”, “It would be great to have it done it before”, “But this is complicated”, “If you had more exposure to clients”, “what’s your commercial experience”. Don’t blame those questions, or the messengers. Fear is logical. In today’s world where you have to cover your @ss at...
