By now you've probably seen me post on social media that I sold my condo in Puerto Rico, and the reactions have been... a lot. So let's get into it. In this solo episode, I'm taking you behind the scenes of why I bought that condo right after my divorce, what it represented to me, and why — three and a half years later — I decided to let it go. This is not a "never sell real estate" episode. This is a "your life changes and so should your money moves" episode. We're talking numbers, we're talking mindset shifts around debt and leverage, and we're talking about what's next: a fixer-upper flip in Florida with my husband, and a bigger PR condo for our family. Grab a coffee (or a copa), this one's personal.

KEY TAKEAWAYS:

→ Your financial decisions should evolve as your life does — what worked for single you might not work for married-with-a-baby you

→ Selling an asset isn't automatically a bad money move — rich people reposition capital all the time

→ Debt and leverage aren't the enemy. Used strategically, they let you preserve cash and acquire more assets

→ Cash purchases give you flexibility and control (hello, fixer-upper flip); mortgages can be the smarter move when you want to preserve liquidity

→ You don't owe anyone an explanation for your money moves — get around people who understand the vision
