#realestateinvesting is more about relationships t #realestateinvesting is more about relationships than numbers. Yes, of course, numbers are important but people do business, and refer you business, if they like you. Robert Cialdini explains this in his book Influence: “People will do business with people they know, like and trust based on your knowledge, your creativity, and your credibility.” • Integrity and honesty are the best policies.

Thoughts that I had before having kids and creatin Thoughts that I had before having kids and creating a family with my wife: -Kids are Expensive -Kids Eat a Lot -Education can be Expensive -Tantrums will Never End -Daycare is Expensive -What if my Kids are born with a legit health condition? • These are some of the things that went through my mind. Yes, they are all still true to some extent. However, I can tell you that I don’t regret having kids. Before having kids my life had purpose and I was happy, but I can tell you that my wife and kids have 10X my purpose and happiness in life. After having created a family, I can tell you that life is not all about #money, #personalfinances or #finance. • I took this picture today when I went for a walk with my five (5) year old. He grabbed my hand and told me: “I Love you Very Much Dad” I will not take my FI money or number to my death bed, but my wife and kids are going to be there beside me. • I’m not telling you this for you to stop chasing your dreams and goals. I’m telling you this for you to put things in perspective before and after you reach your dreams and goals. How? You need to make sure you choose the right life partner. You need to make sure you choose the right career. You need to make sure that you live below your means (high #savingsrate). Those are big decision that you need to take before you reach your goals. After you reach your goals, you need to put your spending in perspective. You can keep debating all day long the rent vs buy a house, but that will end up in more misery. I’m not saying go crazy and spend everything. What I’m telling you is that life is not always about a financial or money decision. • Never stop chasing your dreams and goals. Put things in perspective. Increase your income. Reduce Expenses. Create financial stability in your life and let the biggest story of life get in your way. The biggest story in life, is the story of forgiveness and love.

Here is a breakdown of our #assets and #investment Here is a breakdown of our #assets and #investmentportfolio! • I only track assets and #investments that tend to grow in value with time. Yes, I consider my house an asset, not an investment.

We are still doing the Barbell Strategy with our P We are still doing the Barbell Strategy with our Personal Finances. That’s why we tend to underperform when the market goes up and outperform when the market goes down. #riskmanagement is more important to me than trying to get as much as I can. I want to keep my investments compounding forever and avoid going back to the start line. Probabilities is the name of the game. It’s our goal to avoid the most probable things push us back to the start line. • It’s important to track your #investments and #personalfinances. Where attention goes, energy flows and results show!

This is the diversification in our current US Doll This is the diversification in our current US Dollar denominated portfolio. • We all want a terrific ROI, but risk management matters just as much in investing, perhaps more. That is why diversification is so important. Your portfolio is like a garden. A good gardener will plant a variety of flowers to ensure something is always blooming. The gardener knows that some flowers eventually die off or may not grow well but if there is enough diversity the overall picture will still look good.
My wife and I take pride on providing great housin My wife and I take pride on providing great housing for our #tenants. We are in the process of changing the glass on all of the windows in one of #rentalproperties. You can see the difference between the upper and lower glass. We are putting Low-E glass on all windows. Low-E glass is #energyefficient. Which means a lower electric bill for our tenants. • We love to provide a high quality product for our tenants. #reicommunity #realestateinvestor
