It seems like investment trends change with the seasons. Who knows. But there’s one thing that’s always been there—quiet, without promising overnight riches, yet delivering solid results: real estate. Now, some people claim real estate isn’t profitable. ​ ​ Let’s break down why real estate continues to be one of the best investments out there: Stability: “Passive” income – never passive, I know but quite so… ​ Consistent appreciation: Control over your investment: This is the ultimate benefit. In the stock market, you’re at the mercy of big corporations, macroeconomic decisions or Trumps sense of humor. Security: Yeah, you may have a fire, an earthquake… but what’s insurance for? So yes—profitability isn’t just measured in numbers. Because while others are stressing over extreme volatility, real estate investors sleep soundly knowing their wealth is still growing. Look. I’ve tried many businesses, invested and managed start-ups… and the only thing it pays off in terms of scalability, work, capital and time… it’s real estate. If you would like to start somewhere, I recommend you this. ​33 Questions about Flipping Properties​ PD 1: If you liked this email, don't keep it in secret and forward it to a friend.

That was the problem. Or at least, one of them. The project was Aguas Argentinas. At the time, it was the largest water concession in the world. You know… Argentinos tend to exaggerate… a little bit… specially in front of the referee… More than eight million customers. Thirty years. Serious...
I understand. Saving public money does not put a politician on TV. It is much better to announce that you are spending $1 billion. A new road. A new bridge. Some magnificent piece of infrastructure. Probably unnecessary. Possibly in a small town. But located in a very interesting constituency if you want to be re-elected. I get it. Avoiding the need to build infrastructure is even worse. You risk being called: “Cheap.” “Short-sighted.” “Not committed to your voters.” I get that too. The...
In 2014. France. A true and very well documented story. The government ordered a new generation of regional trains. Beautiful trains. Modern. More comfortable. Not the smelly crap that they had when I studied in Paris… Nah… €15 billion of good trains. But someone forgot a small detail… The trains did not fit in many of the stations. You can think that those should be the basis… But no… Small details… Why bothering when we’re buying 15 billion of these things… The result? Around 1,300 platform...
