The bubble and the Fed and the interest and the...

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.

Sometimes I’ve walked into meetings where you could smell the blood from miles away. In one of those meetings, the SPV chair looked like he had just fallen off a tree that same morning. Stuttering like crazy. Like a guy from my hometown we used to call “The Stutterer”… el Tartas de mi pueblo. Impossible to take seriously. Looking at his papers. Looking at the screen. Searching for inspiration in the PowerPoint he put together the night before. He already started badly… talking about the...
A PPP somewhere in Canada. Mid 2010s. Saturday night. Concrete poring of a key structure in the critical path of the project. Everything looked perfect on paper. Full closure approved Concrete plant booked Pumps lined up Crew ready Weather… “acceptable” 22:00 : Go time First trucks arrive. Pumps start. Concrete flowing. Then… rain. Not heavy. Not dramatic. Just enough to start messing with the surface. The kind of rain that kills quality slowly. The dangerous one. 23:30: First tension Quality...
Unless you want a horror story. Or an “insĂpida” story that says nothing. You don’t put on the market an unconnected series of projects. That’s not a vision. It’s election time in New Zealand. And every time I’m invited to a forum, I repeat the same message. Infrastructure needs a long-term story. A real one. What do we want to become in 30 years? Because it cannot change every time the government changes. That’s not strategy. That’s improvisation. Or shooting yourself in your foot. If a...
