11 Principles
Honour the true king – Equity is the true king, and cash flow is the prince. All decisions are optimised for the total amount of created and acquired equity across the portfolio in the long term.
Look far and beyond – Always think long term, and consider unseen consequences beyond the immediate.
Dig a deep moat – Do the work up front and secure a margin of safety. Do not hunt a deal with no fat on the bone.
From mud to marble – Always add value and aim for excellence.
Have skin in the game – Invest our own capital into every project that we do. Do not ask others to venture where we dare not.
Share the round table – Give credit where credit is due. Always leave some on the table so that partners may return for the next feast.
Disregard the jester – Be contrarian. Don’t make decisions solely by listening to the market.
Trust but verify – Due diligence with sharp intelligence.
Heed the feathered creature – The Black Swan cannot be foreseen and strikes from behind. Stay ready so we don’t have to get ready.
Mind your own sword – Leverage is a double edged weapon. Use it with respect.
Real estate for real people – Always remember people behind the property. Serve them.
