Message to real estate active investors


This week I’ve been quite busy.

Just launching into the market two new short-term rentals.

Looking at the dishwasher, some furniture, attending the internet technical guy… things like that.

I could probably delegate all this, but sometimes, you want to be on top of everything.

Why do I do this?

Why, would you ask.

Because I like it… and because I do believe that money is important.

Very important.

You may like it more or less, but 99% of the decisions you will make in the future will be influenced by the money in your wallet.

Or maybe 99.99%... I could be wrong with the decimals…

Where you live, how you live, the number of generic brands in your fridge, and the school your children attend will depend on the money you manage.

Now, I’m not saying it should be the center of your life… its importance is just only a little below the air you breath…

But it is certainly a huge help in keeping the real center running smoothly.

So, wouldn’t it be a better idea to establish a healthy relationship with money and make an effort to understand how to save it, invest it, or generate it?

I’d say yes.

But that’s just my opinion.

Money is not your enemy. It’s not the devil. It’s not a spiritual obstacle.

What I’m trying to tell my young child is that, on the contrary, money is a wonderful universal agreement.

A beautiful way to acknowledge the value received and given.

And ignoring its importance is denying both our era and human intelligence.

I insist—this isn’t about obsessing over money, but about understanding and integrating its relevance in the times we live in.

Otherwise, you should have been born earlier—or later.

That said, there are a thousand places that can help you grasp this idea, and nine hundred and ninety-nine of them are probably great.

But this one (which happens to be mine, and which I proudly and happily invite you to buy) is too.

Do you want to know why I’m doing short term rentals?

Accidents aside because of lack of maintenance and incompetent managers and politicians, Spain has made great things in high-speed trains. Let’s go back in time to the good times. 1988 The country decided to build a high-speed railway between Madrid and Sevilla… or Seville. 470 kilometres. New infrastructure. New technology. A country with no previous high-speed rail experience, but willing to become a top guy. By April 1992, passengers were travelling at 250 km/h. About three and a half...

You know... I just came back from China. And I have to admit something. I was impressed. Not by the skyscrapers. Not by the technology. Not even by the infrastructure… or the great toll systems (yes, I’m a geek for them). Although, to be fair, a country that added almost 2,900 km of high-speed railway in a single year deserves some credit. Some countries struggle to build 3 km of metro without a parliamentary inquiry, a budget revision and three changes of government. No. What impressed me...

As you know, I’ve been in China looking at things for our property business. Tiles. Kitchens. Bathrooms. Doors. Windows. A glamorous international adventure involving questions about hinges or how easy is to clean a toilet. Naturally, everything looks fantastic. That is rather the purpose of a showroom. Nobody puts the work-in-progress window under a spotlight. “Come in, sir. This one leaks.” And that got me thinking about infrastructure and construction sites. Project directors that had the...
