How to calculate your return in an investment?


That is the question I always get.

​

But that’s wrong.

​

You should start by what’s the return that you need to get from an investment to make it worthy.

That’s the real thing.

Is it 5%, 10% or 15%? Would it be the same if the interest rates are 3%, 5% or 8%?

You can get the answer in the course below

​Investing better than 99% of people

​

But for now… let’s go back to the question.

​

It’s such a recurring question that you’ll even find dozens of articles, posts, or videos on YouTube trying to answer it.

​

People are afraid.

​

Afraid of not finding hidden defects in a property before buying it.

And I’m not talking about structural defects… or at least, not just…

​

Imagine arriving on the first day to see what you've bought, now being yours, and realizing that the electricity was worse than you expected.

Or that you can hear the neighbor too much when they flush the toilet.

Or that you have a very nice neighbor that love the fiestas until late… from Tuesday to Sunday.

​

You can be quite jodido is this happens.

​

The same happens when, after calculating the profitability of a property, what you had on paper turns out to be just a mirage.

Going from calculations to reality is very complicated, and gurus on the internet sell it as a simple formality.

What was supposed to be an 8% net, ends up being an 8% gross…

And then you realize that the 2 weeks to find a tenant become 2 months.

And the insurance grows over inflation, as well as the condo fees or municipal taxes…

​

In the course below, I provide my personal Excel File to review all these scenarios.

It includes taxes, inflation rates for key elements, appreciation, cash flows, mortgage, interest rates, upgrades…

It’s my personal tool that gives me the go or no go in 5 minutes.

​

But here is the interesting thing… Good opportunities need to be created, not just detected.

​

And that… and not the magic Excel File is what you should be considering.

First… Why should you care? Over and over, we have heard from our parents or at school the same story. Study hard. Get a good degree. With the good degree, a good job. Then, work hard. That’s the perfect receipt to be permanently frustrated about how little money you make, and how much money others make. No matter if you are an operator or a CEO. The money that you make out of selling your time never tastes fulfilling. If you care about that, you should continue your education until you die....

Yesterday I saw that Trump is taking the lead in the pools. That’s terrible. It’s so bad, so bad for you, for the economy and the democracy, that… It’s at least as bad as… if the other lady wins the election. Or as good as… Or as irrelevant as… If you look at any elections or any government with the hope of them changing your life, forget it… unless, of course, you want to be a slave of the system. The maximum thing that Trump winning or the other lady winning will do is changing your mood…...

Jack Trout, advertiser, author. A machine you should look for in God Google. This guy said that “We live in the first over-communicated society in history”. I repeat. "Over-communicated," Oh, what a term, what insight, what interesting idea… you may be thinking. Yeah, but wait. Let me tell you two more things. First, he said this in the 70s. Yes. Over-communication, in the 70s. Do the math. Second, this means success is no longer about having information. Not anymore. For 200,000 or maybe...
