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?

UK’s largest infrastructure project. In June 2018, High Speed 2 or HS2’s main civil contractors issued a warning. Their early estimates were showing significant cost increases. That was not a rumour. Not an anonymous complaint. Not some junior engineer being negative. It came from the contractors building the bloody thing. The project continued. Reviews followed. Committees met. Reports were written. PowerPoints were probably magnificent. As usually they are…specially when consultants are...

Unfortunately for taxpayers, many decision-makers and politicians do not understand value for money. Not a clue. And it costs taxpayers billions. Let me tell you something. A few weeks ago, I went to Auckland Zoo. As we do every time, we stopped at the shop on the way out. This time, my son became obsessed with a crappy little meerkat figurine. About 5cm tall. Pure plastic. I did not even look at the price. I was delighted. How cheap! I walked to the counter and paid. I was slightly surprised...

I can see yesterday’s email hurt. Well, yes. I’ll say it again. You will never do well in life with a PowerPoint. Not long ago, I was involved in a process where the abuse of PowerPoint should have been investigated by the Drug Enforcement Agency. Beautiful. Gorgeous. Sublime charts. Flourishes everywhere. Not a single letter was out of perfect alignment with the rest of its little letter friends. Like one of those choirs that goes on The X Factor, or any of the other crap they show on...
