There is a bubble. Now it’s not the time. When prices go down. When the economy goes better. When I get the pay raise. When I get the bonus. When the government changes. When the law changes. The numbers don’t add up now. When I save a bit more. When interest rates go down. After the next announcement of the FED, the European Central Bank and the chorus of the church of my neighbour. When there are more legal guarantees. When inflation goes up. When they start protecting property owners. When… All these phrases are arguments people use to avoid big investments… especially in real estate. You know those sentences… I’m sure. I used them all in the past too. But let me tell you something… They are just excuses. Mental gymnastics you perform to feel good even though you know you are acting wrongly. Look. I repeat it once more: The perfect time doesn’t exist. While you make excuses, there are hundreds of investors in the market doing deals non-stop, getting closer every day to the only true freedom: Financial freedom. You’ve heard me saying this before. In real estate investing, we have all been “novatos” at some point. And we have been paralyzed when it came to taking the plunge. We have passed on opportunities that we knew were not bad, waiting for better ones that never came. That’s how it is. Going through this phase is mandatory. But it’s okay. The important thing is to move forward and not stay there. Understand that the ideal deal only exists in your head and that the reality of the market is what it is. And that even though it’s not perfect, it’s better than staying still. Infinitely better than living with excuses.

When people talk about successful projects, these are the usual suspects: The deal was clear from day one Risks were allocated… not hidden The wrong bidders didn’t show up Time was respected Decisions were made early The contract was readable Banks believed the story Equity had skin in the game The public side knew what it wanted Advisors added value (for once) Construction was not “optimistic” Problems were solved fast Ego was controlled Operations were considered from day one Someone owned...
Yesterday I heard: “I’m too old to change career.” C*jonudo. Look. Think of Bernie Marcus. He was 49 when he got fired from his executive role at a hardware retail chain. The 70s. No InfoJobs. No Trade Me. No LinkedIn. And I doubt he felt like photocopying his CV and knocking on doors. If you’ve been there… you know. So he sat down in a café with Arthur Blank and made a decision: He was going to destroy the people who had fired him. I like that. Vengeance is underrated fuel. Together, they...
Last weekend, New Zealand was hit by another cyclone. If you’re still sceptical about climate change…just look at the statistics. Or your insurance premium. But that’s for another day. This time, the damage was limited. Much less than the previous cyclones. And here it comes… “They exaggerated.” “It wasn’t that bad.” “We overprepared.” The usual. Short-term memory. Short-term thinking. The same people who forget that not long ago we had: warnings that were too soft impacts that were worse...
