It took me a while to start investing myself. Investing for the sake of investing.
To date, I’ve probably advised well over a thousand people, a thousand investors.
It took me almost two years to tell myself that I, too, could take the leap. It’s paradoxical, because I was guiding them toward excellent investments, but it took me that long to convince myself that I was ready.
So I started by investing in small apartments, back in the subprime mortgage crisis. It was relatively simple: you buy, you renovate, then you resell quickly.
Over time — and especially with more confidence — I moved on to more attractive properties, like townhouses. These are semi-detached houses, often located in gated communities with a shared pool, which offer numerous advantages.
Then, fairly quickly, I moved into multi-family housing. It’s essentially a question of resources and budget. You start small, gradually move upmarket, and eventually gain access to much more profitable products.
Today, I have a head start because what I advise clients is what I apply to myself when making my own investments.
So it’s easy and reassuring for the client, who can ask me all their questions since they’re questions I’ve already asked myself.
And so, naturally, things go smoothly in these cases. They feel reassured.
