Ask three questions at every property showing: What does this feature give me? What does it ask of me in return? Will the trade-off still make sense in five to ten years? This framework moves you past surface appeal to weigh immediate benefits against long-term costs.
The next time you walk a property, try something simple. Whenever you notice a feature, do not stop there. Ask yourself 3 questions. What does this feature give me? What does it ask of me in return? Will this trade-off still make sense 5 or 10 years from now? Those 3 questions completely change the way you evaluate property. A feature may attract your attention. The exchange behind that feature should shape your judgment. Judgment.
