Why Buy Pre-Con Units Only From a Reputable Builder - Market Tuesday EP 04

Today I talk about the importance of buying from a reputable and known builder when it comes to pre-construction / new construction projects.

When buying new construction projects you may run into many complications or delays, the last thing you want to do is come across a project that goes so bad they actually cancel it or the company goes bankrupt.

It is true that the deposit is generally covered under insurance but you do have to be careful there as well as deposit insurance is usually $100,000.00. The thing is what costs you more than your deposit may actually surprise you, it's what is called opportunity costs. Example: If you buy a new construction project today at $500,000 and in 2 years the builder cancels the project and refunds your deposit, to buy a new unit somewhere else might cost you $625,000.00 but you only get back your $100,000 deposit so now you need more money to buy the same sized project.

I am sure you have heard of this happening before. This is an example of why it's imperative to buy with the right builders who have a proven track record and reputation. It doesn't guarantee that nothing will happen but it minimizes the risk.

Listen or Watch the rest of the episode to hear of some other scenarios of what can happen.

Tracking and Journaling - Minute Mondays EP 56

Today I talk about the importance of journaling and tracking as a tool for improving your skills and obtaining your goals.

If you have a desired outcome or goal, how would you know how close to the goal you are and remember everything that you have done or have to do if you never bothered to track your progress? 

It's easy to dismiss the need to journal and track but if it was so unneeded then let me ask you this, what did you do at this very moment 2 years ago? I mean get into the details, can you tell me without having it written down? The answer is probably not, so on the same token then would it not be beneficial to have that written down somewhere?

Journaling can also be used as a form of Inspiration or show of gratitude. You get the ability to look and remind yourself where you were compared to where you are now and be able to visualize the direction you need to go to get to where you want. 

In the end it's a choice to get into it or not but I just wanted to point out a couple of benefits of going through the process.

Relationships are the Currency in Life Not Money! - Minute Mondays EP 55

We have to stop looking at Money as the only form of Currency. If this is what we live by then we are consistently seeing things through a short term lens.

If we take a moment and realize that the relationships we build is the most lucrative form of currency we can build, we then tend to look and work towards a long term objective that can deliver more consistent and predictable outcomes.

People want to deal with people they know, like and trust and the only way you can become that person is through building a relationship with them.
