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?

He won the tender. Sixty-six days later, he was eliminated… I mean… dead. Which is a fairly aggressive way to terminate a contract. Rome. AD 193. Escalation did not have several levels of governance apparently… or they were just efficient too… Anyway. The Praetorian Guard murdered Emperor Pertinax. An awkward development. Especially considering their job was to protect him. Like Lenders… when you do need them… The fact is that the guys spotted a commercial opportunity. A vacant throne. Two...

I bring you today a useful reminder for anyone advising the public sector. Shanghai’s Maglev. It connects Pudong Airport with Longyang Road in about eight minutes. Eight minutes. Fantastic. Except, if you’re heading into central Shanghai, your journey continues... Even the city’s own airport guide explains the onward metro connection at Longyang Road. The train has finished its job. You haven’t finished your journey. Your suitcase remains unimpressed… Nothing to say about your hungry kids....

I continue in China. And looking at Chinese infrastructure, I came across a lovely reminder for our industry. The Hong Kong–Zhuhai–Macao Bridge. More specifically, its immersed tunnel. A standard tunnel segment weighed approximately 80,000 tonnes. They precast the segments on Guishan Island, then used tugboats to transport them into position. If you like megaprojects, this is a must see. The project used extensive off-site manufacturing to help control quality and reduce disturbance to marine...
