How to get a good investor badge


With regards to Real Estate, it seems that here a series of mantras have been established that you must follow in order to be considered a "good investor."

The habit of “handing out good investor badges” has become widespread.

If you don’t buy a cheap apartment (no elevator, bad neighborhood, etc.), you’re not a good investor.

If you don’t do a cheap renovation and turn (or build) something into a high-value asset, you’re not a good investor.

If you buy an apartment that’s already renovated and you don’t personally add value to it, you’re not a good investor.

If you don’t dive into problems (major renovations, squatters, subdivisions, changes of use, etc.), you’re not a good investor.

If you don’t live in a rental and instead buy a home for yourself, burning your credit record, you’re not a good investor.

​

A lot of people who think they hold the absolute truth have created a trend where, if you don't follow it, they won't be willing to grant you your “Good Investor Badge.”

​

A "one-size-fits-all" mindset has taken over, and we’ve completely forgotten that personal finance is, above all, personal.

​

Let’s be adults here.

Your situation has absolutely nothing to do with mine, or with your best friend’s from school.

​

We’ll earn differently, spend differently, have different risk tolerance, different family situations, different amounts of time available, different capacity (or appetite) for leveraging…

​

And most importantly, we’ll have goals based on our own situations and preferences — and they will be DIFFERENT.

​

So if everything is different...

​

Why on earth should we invest exactly the same?

​

In the course below, I’m not telling you how to get your badge.

It’s just a technique.

You can use it for a 100k apartment or for a 1 million dollar building.

Same country. Same contractors. Same scale. Same type of road. One was built through a PPP. The other? A good old-fashioned, government-run, multi-package mess. Let’s meet the contenders.

Easy.” Enter: A PPP for a $500M desalination plant to supply water to Mexicali, a dry city near the U.S. border. The Plan...
