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.

The government’s advisers saw the problem. If the private partner had to carry all the price escalation risk, the bids would be absurdly expensive. Or there would be no bids...
“No fee paid upfront.” “If you can bring equity capital of $45 million, then we can talk about success fees.” Wonderful. You bring the project. I bring the investors. The contacts. The credibility. The hours. And the working capital to finance my own involvement in your adventure. Then, if everything works, we can talk about paying me. Not pay me. Talk about it. Beautiful little detail. Look. I have nothing against success fees. I do work on success. But think about it. Working entirely at...
Imagine you are building a hospital. Actually, make it two. Both under PFI contracts, aka, another acronym in the PPP world. One morning, your contractor goes into liquidation. That morning arrived on 15 January 2018. The contractor was Carillion. The hospitals were Royal Liverpool and Midland Metropolitan. Construction stopped. Unfortunately, patients could not be admitted to a PowerPoint explaining the risk allocation. Fortunately, only their taxes were claimed. The projects had to be...
