Why Real Estate is so POWERFUL ` Attempt at explaining it
If I were a mathematician, I could probably explain the following story with something like this:
But I am NOT a mathematician!
One thing I know is that Time+Real Estate = Better Future
I AM better with pictures, so here it goes.
This is the earliest picture I have from the house I grew up in. The year is 1936. Sitting are my Great-grand parents with my Grandmother as a young 15 year old girl standing behind them. I am not sure who originally built or purchased the house, but it must`ve been around 1900 or much earlier.
My Great-grandfather was still alive and very happy when I was born. I have no memories of him as he past away 6 months later. I lived in this house until I was 15 years old.
The house had a store on the main street level, seen in this present day picture.
Over the years I remember it as a grocery store, photo studio, pharmacy, and now for the last few years a day bar/cafà where young people meet to plan their day and retired neighbors come to talk politics.
This is the money I receive every time I go back to visit and vacation.
It is rent money from the store. It takes care of most of our spending while in Bulgaria.
Summer of 2010. In few minutes after this picture was taken , my kids would`ve probably be getting ice cream, while I get a drink -paid for with the rent money.
As we soak in the sun, enjoy the beach and friends during our summers in Varna, Bulgaria, I can`t help but think that, the ice-cream my kids are eating is paid for with money their Great-great-grandfather made available to us. It`s like he bought them the ice-cream. Five generations later. How COOL is that?
And I am grateful.
We all have stories.
More importantly we are all creating stories right at this moment and every day.
I want to create a story that will last a long after I am gone.
