Conviction Ideas - Bonifacio Global City (BGC)

by FI Fighter on November 10, 2018

in Real Estate Thoughts, Real Estate Updates

When it comes to investing, in my heart of hearts, I truly believe that I’m an equal opportunity employer. In others words, I dig both Deep Value Investing as well as Hyper-Growth Investing. Although I don’t always get it right (c’mon give me a break I’m a very flawed human being, after all), I have been fortunate enough in my lifetime to have made “life-changing gains” via both the aforementioned routes.

In short, Deep Value Investing and Hyper-Growth Investing both work!

The reality, though, is this — Markets are cyclical, [click to continue…]

Manila - BGC House Hunting Continued (October 2, 2018)

by FI Fighter on October 2, 2018

in Philippines, Real Estate Updates, Travel Updates

I really don’t know what I’m getting myself into… but you know what, if people are ever honest and open about their own lives, they would be more willing to admit the same thing — In life, seldom do we have all the answers staring at us right smack in our face. You just do the best you can, and keep at it.

Live and learn.

In my own case, no, right now I can’t say definitively that I’m [click to continue…]

Real Estate Investing - Identifying and Searching for Future Class A/Tier 1 Properties

by FI Fighter on July 24, 2018

in Real Estate Thoughts, Real Estate Updates

So, lately I’ve been having lots of epiphanies when it comes to Real Estate Investing (REI), and more than ever before, I’m holding firm in my newfound belief to focus entirely (pretty much) on sticking to Class A/Tier 1 properties.

Naturally, because I made my life-changing gains via Bay Area Class A/Tier 1 rental properties, I always like to use them as an example… But astute readers [click to continue…]

Real Estate Investing - Learning from My Mistakes

by FI Fighter on July 23, 2018

in Real Estate Thoughts, Real Estate Updates

Real life is all about learning from our mistakes, growing/improving, and if we are lucky enough to be able to do so (which I am) share our insights/wisdom/knowledge gained with others. Unfortunately, the problem with the above approach, right off the bat, is admitting to ourselves (and to the world) that we even made a mistake to begin with…

I’ve been blogging since 2012, so you don’t have to tell me twice, and I know full well by now that attempting to be upfront and honest with people is not gonna win you many fans/followers…

For the most part, people aren’t interested in the truth when it comes to early FI… Instead, they want you to feed them a happy fairytale where the entire ride is smooth sailing and there are never any major bumps in the road…

I hate to break it to you, but sometimes, it is very necessary to dwell on and reflect [click to continue…]

Moving On - New Beginnings (Good Riddance to Junk Properties)!

by FI Fighter on July 18, 2018

in Real Estate Updates

As I’ve shared with readers in previous posts (albeit very vaguely), I’ve gone through some very trying and difficult times this year. More specifically (and succinctly) — My junk properties in South Chicago were losing me money hand over fist, driving me insane, and causing endless grief/frustration. In other words, I saw the [click to continue…]

New Beginnings… Again? (July 1, 2018)

by FI Fighter on July 1, 2018

in Blog Update, Real Estate Thoughts, Real Estate Updates

To say that it’s been a rough and tumble 2018 so far would be a pretty accurate assessment of how things have been going for me… As readers may recall, I’ve thrown out multiple hints in recent posts about some of the struggles (beyond aggravating frustration) that I’ve been dealing [click to continue…]
