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.
