Latest Panama Visit - Part 2
Silva Tree Directors meet local authorities and public figures during recent Panama visit.
A house with a history
Everybody wants an address with the wow factor, but what if your home town jogs people's memories for all the wrong reasons? Certain places are now notorious thanks to their gruesome histories, so what is it like living under a shadow of the past?
Drying out
CHAPTER ONE I walk down a street and there's a big hole. I don't see it and fall into it. It's dark and hopeless and it takes me a long time to find my way out. It's not my fault! CHAPTER TWO I walk down the same street. There's a big hole and I can see it, but I still fall in. It's dark and hopeless and it takes me a long time to get out. It's still not my fault. CHAPTER THREE I walk down a street. There's a big hole. I can see it, but I still fall in. It's become a habit. But I keep my eyes open and get out immediately. It is my fault. CHAPTER FOUR I walk down a street. There's a big hole. And I walk around it. CHAPTER FIVE I walk down a different street. If AA members can follow that why don't I ever learn?
Adventures in property refurbishment
Many of you may not know but I didn't start in new build properties. I started buying second hand properties and doing them up before selling or remortgaging them. At the time it was the best thing for me, I had heaps of time and little capital. I was willing to pick up a paint brush, dig a hole, punch through a wall and build a fence. For the most part it was a great strategy at the time, but one that I would only go back to again if I had to. You see, after my first few properties I began turning into a smarter investor – the kind of investor who's time is more important. I had enough money to pay other people to do things for me and most of all I had a life outside of my renovations.
