Are you heading to zero?
Brett Alegre-WoodChairman, YPC Group
Hey guys,
An expression I discuss in my forthcoming book is 'heading to zero' and it's become even more important now that the recession has hit us.
Heading to zero explains the feeling you have when you look at your property portfolio cash flows, and the money that you have available in the bank or in your facility, and you realise that in a specific amount of time your will have nothing left to fund any shortfalls. It might be 2 years or 10, but it's the feeling that your cash flow is inevitably heading to zero, leaving you in massive trouble.
As you might imagine, it's not the reaching of zero that's the problem, but the feeling of inevitably getting there that causes most of the sleepless nights. I've always said that building a portfolio should give you more life, not cause frustration and worry, so you need to decide upon a point beyond which you'll take some concrete action to rectify the situation.

Many make the mistake of believing that they're already at that point in their portfolio and unfortunately use it as an excuse NOT to build further. In many of those cases it's just a case of what I call underdeveloped emotional intelligence in investing. If this is you, you just need to focus on developing your emotional intelligence in investing. (Note: I've written a booklet on this which you can read for free when you subscribe to my newsletter using the small signup form above.)
The truth is that if you have followed the principles we teach you'll find that you'll never get close to the zero mark. You'll be taking positive action well before the point of no return. This, combined with a well developed emotional intelligence as an investor and you're on your way to many nights of sound sleep and days of joyful certainty.
Live with passion,
Brett Alegre-Wood
PS. The great news is that most people should be noticing that their cash flows have improved out of sight with the recent drops in interest rates. In fact, a lot of clients are saying their portfolio is now cash flow positive on a monthly basis which helps to take away the fear of heading to zero, for now at least.
