The Biggest Misconception About Real Estate Investment

Real Estate Is a Multifold Cycle

Real Estate Investment is a multifold cycle: from having funds to disbursing those funds in the right project with the right developer, and then finally partnering with the right company for management — whether as a holiday home, annual lease, or a resell.

Validation and Decision-Making

At the end of the day, we want the decision to be right. So we accumulate as many people (validations) around us as possible — those who will cheer for us and give the reassurance we think we need.

“It’s an investment, a decision you, alone, have to make.”

Moving Forward with Goals

You set a target, achieve it or come close, and then set the next one. Don’t get hung up on your first. Move on.

Where Investors Get Stuck

Real estate investment is layered. Many people get stuck at one stage — mostly management, which actually comes last.

Yields vs. Capital Gains

They end up worrying about the last 4% to 6% yield while ignoring capital gains, where the real magic lies: you can make 2 to 5 times your initial fund.

This is the toughest part because emotions often take over. “I need that house.”

No, you don’t. You need to make money off it — and then move on.

The Investor Mindset

If you are a real investor, you must:

• Think long term
• Keep the big picture in mind
• Move fast, but move informed
• Avoid getting stuck on one property
• Keep going, cycle after cycle
