Dear fellow investors, friends, family and future self.

We’ve already lived in Portugal for a month and we love it here. The warm climate makes such a big impact on our moods. Honestly, it feels like being on vacation every day. That feeling will most likely fade when time passes and the kids start in school but I don’t think it will ever go away completely.

I started playing tennis, which I’ve never done before, once a week for 2 hours. We’re all amateurs but it’s surprisingly fun. We are usually 12 people playing doubles on 3 courts.

Our oldest girls will most likely join the local swimming team later this month. They’re looking forward to that as well. Continue reading “Portfolio update August 2021”

Portfolio update June 2021

Dear fellow investors, friends, family and future self.

This update comes out later than usual because I prioritized helping my brother doing garden work around an investment property he bought recently.

The property has 3000 m2 of land and it needs a lot of work. The outside area has not been maintained for years. It was filled with weeds well above waist level when he bought it. Plants, trees and bushes were fighting each other to reach the sun light.

It took us a while to get down to the soil of this place. Access to heavy duty machinery is a necessity.

We’re already progressing nicely. I think he’ll be able to flip the house within a year or two and make a respectable amount of money from the renovation.

It’s lovely to be in Denmark when the weather is warm and sunny. Especially with close family nearby.

Dear fellow investors, friends, family and future self.

In May I finally pulled the trigger on a “larger” crypto investment. I invested 8650€ into ETH and swapped it to 232 160 HEX on 1inch.io*. Then I staked (locked up) everything for 10 years on go.hex.com. Now I can track my portfolio on my phone using the Staker App*, which looks like this:

Portfolio update April 2021

Dear fellow investors, friends, family and future self.

April was the month where I started to look more seriously into the world of crypto currencies. I’ve been following the sector on the sidelines since 2015 but I’ve always seen crypto as pure speculation. I see myself as an investor, not a speculator. For this reason, I’ve held a small amount of coins to test the technology but never invested larger amounts.

However, some things have improved during the last year, which has changed my view a bit: Continue reading “Portfolio update April 2021”

Portfolio update March 2021

Dear fellow investors, friends, family and future self.

It’s April 8th today. According to the calendar it should be spring. Nature in Denmark doesn’t seem to agree though, we had hail and snow just yesterday. I can’t wait to move back to the warm and sunny climate in Portugal. Seeing the sun on a daily basis gives a huge burst to my well being.

My investment property #3 was bought on March 15th as planned. We live in the property while it’s being renovated. It’s not ideal, we don’t even have access to our own shower. But we manage and find alternative solutions. It’s a good way to save some money along the way.

I think I finally found a tenant for the apartment that has been vacant since March last year! We have a verbal agreement and I expect the tenant to move in on April 15th. It took about 6 months to finish the renovation of this apartment (due to Covid-19 and other factors) but 1 year vacancy is way too long.

In March I decided to withdraw a portion of my crowdlending portfolio, primarily because I want to see if I can earn better returns on the stock market. As a result my portfolio is much more balanced now, as you can see on my “Net Worth” page. I now have about 1/3 in crowdlending, 1/3 in stocks and 1/3 in real estate. I’m much more comfortable with this allocation.
