Codie Sanchez, an amazing lady, building millions in boring businesses says it clearly. Your salary will never set you free. Your financial freedom can only come through ownership. More specifically, through equity done the right way She believes in boring businesses. I may try one day. I believe in making real estate a business. I propose you a very simple offer. That you take a look to my philosophy about real estate. It’s easier than you think. It just takes some work. Hard work I would say. But waking up every day at the hour you’re told, is some work. Some days, hard work. Wearing what you’re told is some work. For me… really hard work. Heating your chair with you *ss every day, minimum 8 hours, is also hard work. Waiting for a promotion or a raise that covers inflation is also hard work. You choose your “hard”. Buy cheap. Renovate. Hold or sell. Finance strategically. Be smart about taxes. Simple. Still, many will wait and hope for a raise. ​Even you can make money in real estate. ​ PD 1: If you liked this email, don't keep it in secret and forward it to a friend.

Someone lied to me yesterday. And not even a good lie. A lazy one. A client texts me on WhatsApp: “Aqualia came. They say we need to build an additional drainage point to install the final water meters. We have 10 days.” 10 days. That was the giveaway. Let me translate this for you. Aqualia. The most incompetent utility provider in Spain after Endesa (about those guys, I can talk another day). The same Aqualia that took 7 months to even show up. Now suddenly… they give us 10 days? Come on....
In 27 minutes on the phone, I domesticated the beast. “How did you do it?” my project manager asked. Using his ego. Context. Contractor. Spain. Penthouse. Water coming from the ceiling. “Go fix it. It’s under warranty.” “No. Warranty expired. When I left, there was no leak.” I’ve seen worse. And more creative lies. This one was just… lazy. Less than a year since notification. In Spain, that’s a 3-year warranty. But fine. Let’s play. In judo, you don’t fight strength. You use it. Same here....
PPP is political. Innovation is often bullshit. Preferred bidder is where power shifts. Claims are part of the game. Long hours don’t mean value. Most people don’t understand the deal they’re working on. Risk allocation is everything. Relationships beat intelligence. Timing beats perfection. The best players think about the exit… from day one. If this makes you uncomfortable… good. That’s reality. Most people in this industry are busy.Very few are effective. And the gap between the two?...
