Grace Tapfuma Building capital as a first time investor
23 February 2025 | 25 replies
@Grace Tapfuma I have no idea how things work in Australia but if I were you in the US…Don’t sell the business.Businesses usually sell for a much lower multiple of their products income than real estate does.To be honest, you’ve built out a lot of infrastructure to create a successful business and maybe reinvesting in it would create a much better return on investment.For which you could reinvest those future profits into real estate, once you’ve scaled your business into a money making machine that isn’t so dependent upon YOU to drive the bottom line.I had a friend (38 years old) just recently sell his medical device company for $30M dollars and now he’s using this chapter of his life to passively invest in real estate ventures.Meanwhile, I’ve been toiling out here for 19 years as a real estate investor and I’ve built a portfolio worth $18M and have a net worth of $5M at 41 years old.Sometimes the grass isn’t greener on the other side.Correct me if I’m missing something!
