Is this a good investment?
|
A few days ago, I talked to someone about profitability of assets. What should be the minimum return that you get out of… let’s say… a good real estate investment? ​ Our best ones… around 8-10%. ​ “Not much” – he said… the stock market is giving you more… ​ Logically, Trump had not shown up in the white house garden yet to do a performance with his hair perfectly glued to his head. ​ But let’s reflect… ​ Is that a good number? Around 8-10% ​ In my humble and brutally honest opinion: it’s f*cking insane. It’s la leche! ​ I’m tired of reading every self-proclaimed genius online saying they can do better. Much better than this… ​ OK, let’s focus. ​ I pay a company to clean my house. It’s expensive — but I’m happy to pay for it. Then, I have a robot that do the day to day. ​ ​ But… That would be time taken away from what we’re actually good at. ​ Focusing on what you’re really good at — I think that’s what separates successful people from the wannabes. ​ When you go out looking for an investment property, there are thousands of variables. ​ ​ ​ Now here’s where your mind might blow: Do you think I spend my own time searching for properties for myself? Then a broker that finds me the best financing. A manager that gets the best interior design and furniture. An operator that extracts maximum value of the property. ​ If I did it myself, maybe I’d squeeze out a little bit more… maybe 10-11%. ​ There are people who live and breathe this daily, and they’ll get me results very close to mine for a very reasonable fee. ​ Could you squeeze out 1% more by doing it yourself? ​ Anyway… next time that you want to do it all, think twice of what you are good at…. Although maybe, you should start here. ​Is this piece of real estate a good investment?​ ​ PD 1: If you liked this email, don't keep it in secret and forward it to a friend. They will thank you enormously one day.

I’m going to give you 50% of the solution to any problem you have. I’m going to tell you what your biggest obstacle is. And just knowing that is already half the solution — because only when you know who your enemy is, can you fight it. And I know what you’re thinking. You’re thinking it’s money — if only you had more. Or time — you don’t have enough. Knowledge — that one thing you still need to learn. Charisma, intelligence, or beauty — not enough of it. That thing you need to finish or fix,...
Today I bring you a true story. Or at least, it was told to me as a true story. And even if it wasn’t, the learning is huge. Well… Some time ago, a Filipino fisherman found a deformed pearl. Deformed and huge. It was so strange and so misshapen that he kept it as a good luck charm. And so big that the only place he could store it was under his bed. The thing weighed 34 kilos. Yes… 34 kilos or 75 pounds. One day, ten years later, our Filipino friend just discovered that the pearl was worth 100...
I'm sure you’ve been told this story before. But I don’t care. You need to hear it every day. A North Korean fisherman got distracted in the fog and drifted too close to the South Korean coast. How could he know that? Well… He realized it when his radio picked up a station he didn’t recognize… and… and… They were telling a joke! Yes, a joke. It was about two neighbors fighting over a parking spot. The fisherman laughed. How could there possibly be so many cars that parking would be a problem?...
