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.

“Twenty years ago, my father built a thriving business with a handshake and a business card” “Sorry mate. Welcome to the Trust Recession Era”. In your father’s era, trust was institutional. People believed in companies, credentials, and corporate polish. Now, people don’t believe TV, the newspaper, the media, the government… Almost nothing. This is why great engineers, and other professionals remain invisible despite their skills. Other people, less-qualified attract attention. This is why...
