This is becoming harder

Every business has moved online in recent years. ​ Even the fishmonger in your hometown has joined TikTok and does live streams while serving customers. ​ The same has happened in real estate. ​ We’re more prepared than ever, with more information at our fingertips. An investor in the year 2000 had less competition. They only needed to build a good relationship with one real estate agency, and they’d receive dozens of opportunities each month.

A place that tells you even how the cap of a bottle of coke must be… and of course, they did not think about any market testing or user case. What for? Well… Banks. You can’t live without them, but you hate them. Mastodonts with benefits. Shield by government. Too much money invested in lobbies… or finding imaginative solution to hide bribes...
Many people challenge my preferred RFP strategy for PPPs: “Pre-qualify strong consortia, set a minimum technical pass/fail, and award to the best NPV bidder? They’ll just bid low and renegotiate later!” I get it. That tactic has been abused in Latin America for years. But we need to ask: Why has +20% (often +50%, +100%, +200%) become almost inevitable there? Let’s look at the real causes: Why PPP prices skyrocket after award 1) Renegotiation is systemic.
