I recently had the pleasure of being interviewed by Kristien van Elteren for her podcast at Grow Support, and one theme we kept coming back to was the power of knowing your “why” when it comes to long-term investing.
Kristien asked me a question that cuts right to the heart of it — whether you’re investing in real estate or any other long-term asset, it’s worth asking yourself regularly what you’re actually doing it for. For me, the honest answer goes beyond securing wealth or income. At its core, it’s about creating a better life for my daughter and grandson. That’s the legacy component that gives long-term investing its real meaning. And when you’re committed to assets that play out over decades, a strong and deeply personal purpose behind that commitment makes all the difference.
