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?

A few weeks ago, I had a call with a colleague in Kenya. He told me about the chaos surrounding the proposed PPP at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport. He may even be reading this email. Hello. The story is quite impressive. Kenya needed to expand its main airport. That part was not controversial. JKIA was already operating above its designed capacity. It needed a new terminal. A second runway. More capacity. And Kenya did not exactly have a few billion dollars sitting comfortably in a...

I’m flying to Fiji for a week. And I’m not worried about the Wi-Fi. My business will keep moving. The important decisions have been made. The decision flows have been tested. And the right people know what to do if something goes wrong. It wasn’t always like that. I still remember my first Christmas holidays as CEO of A30 Express in Montreal. There was an accident. A fatality. Snow had accumulated against the barriers of a bridge. It froze. And created the perfect ramp for a car to fly over...

Look. A question for you. What is more dangerous… Sending a letter you know may be wrong? Or sending one that everyone is convinced is right? In my experience… Definitely the second. A bad letter creates questions. A polished letter creates confidence. It has been reviewed by management. Checked by the lawyers. Discussed with the technical team. Perhaps even approved by the Board. Everyone agrees. Send it. And that is precisely when I become nervous. Intelligent people do not normally make...
