Education Versus Sales Pitch Nov 02, 2018

Show notes

Generally speaking people are willing to be educated. They don’t want to be sold. They’re willing if its an area they’re interested in. If they’re not interested, it’s spam. In the movie star wars, Luke Skywalker is the hero of the story. But he needs a guide, in this case Yoda who will team him. Yoda isn’t the star of the movie. He’s in a supporting role. The problem arises when the ethics of the guide are compromised. They call it education, but they’re really training you to buy their stuff. It’s a version of bait and switch. In my mind there is a fundamental conflict of interest when you sell your product under the veil of education.

So You Want To Develop Real Estate? Oct 29, 2018

Show notes

I’ve been talking to a number of investors who are interested in getting into development. Today’s episode is an advisory talk on what you may want to consider before jumping into the world of development. The first thing is that you should avoid development if at all possible. If you can get the equivalent product in the market by buying and repositioning an existing asset, then that’s what you should do. An existing asset is the fast and lowest risk path. In many cases, you can buy an existing asset below replacement cost. My recommendation is a 3 step process to evolve from your first simple development project to full green-field development where you have to build everything from raw land including the infrastructure.
