I started investing in real estate at a young age and thought I knew it all. I was wrong, and I've learned over two decades that an established network of expert providers is essential to make it in this business. A thread of the contacts every property investor should have: 👇

Embarrassed to say I was unaware that there is a region of Switzerland where I can enjoy Italian food and culture paired with Swiss efficiency and transit (and this view). Thanks to my friend who recommended Lugano - it is worthy of being on everyone’s list.

I get what you're saying, but I actually feel the complete opposite. I'm much more interested in what the guy sitting in first class wearing a full green adidas track suit does for a living than the guy wearing standard Brooks Brothers.

Never seen this before: a neighborhood HOA is selling their pool. What's the creative investor play here?

Two public plazas in the middle of our downtown that have seating and tables. Two blocks apart. One is always full, and one is usually completely empty during the day. Can you spot the reason?

Fun fact I learned yesterday: The combined GDP of these six states would make them the world's third largest economy.

A business friendly environment with a reasonable cost of living and a growing population - investing here seems obvious.

He lost me when he said no one wears bow ties. Factually incorrect.

A hill I'll die on: Liberal arts degrees are hugely valuable to society and to business especially. Niche expertise built on top of a broad understanding of civics, history, the humanities, science and economics is a powerful combination.

This duplex is what I would consider "covert density." A single outer door opens to a courtyard that hides the two front doors from the street. It blends in perfectly with the surrounding single family homes.

If you work in the real estate business and someone emails you from an AOL email address, you'd do well to take them seriously. IYKYK.

A property sits on the market for over a year. You reach out to the listing broker, who seems grateful for any interest. After some tire kicking, you submit an LOI. Listing broker: "Thanks, we got two more offers this week as well. We'll let you know." Every. Single. Time.

Every condo is a ticking time bomb - nearly every HOA is underfunded over the long term. Whether it's five years or five decades, a moment of reckoning will come in terms of capital needs, and the owners at that time will be left holding the bag.
