Recently, there was a lot of discussion online about a 30-year-old real estate agent who reportedly owns 13 properties, including one coffee shop.

Naturally, when this kind of story appears online, the comment section becomes very exciting.

Some people praised him.
Some people were inspired.
Some people started sharpening their keyboard sword.

“Confirm born rich.”
“Real estate commission so high, of course easy.”
“Property agents earn too much.”
“Aiya, lucky only.”

The comments were quite savage.

But underneath all the noise, I feel there is something more useful we can do.

Instead of asking, “Why him?”
Maybe we should ask, “What can we learn from him?”

Because in Feng Shui and BaZi, we do not only look at success from the surface. We look at structure, timing, character, habits, decision-making, and whether a person’s energy supports the path they are walking.

Success is rarely one single factor. It is usually a combination of 命, 运, 风水, effort, and choices.

Or in simpler English: your chart, your timing, your environment, your actions, and whether you do foolish things at the wrong time.

 

1. He Chooses Defensive Properties,

Not Just Flashy Properties

From what we can observe, his property portfolio seems to be quite defensive.

This means he is not simply chasing the most glamorous, risky, or expensive-looking properties just to look impressive. Defensive properties are usually assets that can hold value better, generate more stable returns, and reduce unnecessary risk.

In Feng Shui terms, this is a very important concept.

Wealth is not only about attracting money. Wealth is also about keeping money.

很多人会赚钱，但是不会守财。
Many people can earn money, but they cannot hold wealth.

This is where 守财 becomes important.

A good wealth strategy is not always about the fastest gain. Sometimes, it is about choosing something stable, practical, and sustainable. If the property can generate returns, maintain demand, and avoid excessive risk, it becomes a wealth structure instead of a gambling table with a nicer brochure.

This shows prudence.

And prudence is boring only to people who have never paid a big mortgage before.

When someone carefully studies projects, compares risks, calculates returns, understands location, rental demand, holding cost, interest rate pressure, and long-term potential, that is not luck. That is homework.

很多人只看到结果，没有看到功课。
Many people only see the result. They do not see the preparation behind it.

This is why the first lesson is clear:

Successful wealth-building requires research, discipline, and the ability to choose assets that can survive different market conditions.

2. Real Estate Rewards Stability,

Not Just Ambition

The second thing we can learn is personality.

To build a real estate portfolio, you need a stable and hardworking personality. This is very important, but many people underestimate it.

Property investment is not as glamorous as it looks from the outside.

People see ownership.
They do not see the monthly mortgage.
They do not see the property tax.
They do not see maintenance.
They do not see tenant issues.
They do not see interest rate changes.
They do not see cash flow pressure.

As someone who has also invested in real estate for more than 10 years, I can say honestly: it can be very tiring.

It is not just buying a property and then sitting there drinking coffee while money falls from the ceiling like 财神爷 has installed a sprinkler system.

Every month, the bank still wants its money.
Every year, taxes still come.
If rental is weak, you still carry the cost.
If repairs happen, you still pay.
If the market slows, you still need holding power.

This is why personality matters.

Some people are suitable for property because they are patient, stable, and willing to endure slow returns. They can tolerate long-term commitment. They understand that real estate is often a slow compounding game.

But some people are not suitable.

Some people cannot tahan slow returns.
Some people panic too easily.
Some people need fast excitement.
Some people over-leverage because they think every cycle will go up forever.
Some people buy because they want face, not because the numbers make sense.

This is where BaZi comes into play.

In BaZi, we analyse whether a person’s chart supports stability, assets, land, long-term holding, and structured wealth accumulation. Real estate is closely connected to Earth energy because Earth represents property, land, structure, storage, and stability.

But Earth does not benefit everyone in the same way.

For some people, Earth can support wealth accumulation.
For some people, too much Earth can create pressure, stagnation, debt burden, or slow movement.
For some people, property can become a blessing.
For others, it becomes a golden cage with monthly instalments.

This is why we should not blindly copy someone else’s investment path.

His success may come from a personality and energy structure that supports property accumulation. Another person may build wealth better through business, sales, digital assets, trading, services, branding, or knowledge-based work.

Everyone has a different 命格.

The key is not to copy the exact portfolio.

The key is to understand the principle behind it.

3. He Is Humble Enough

to Learn and Have Mentors

Another thing that stands out is the importance of humility.

Many successful people do not succeed alone. They learn from others. They ask questions. They observe. They accept guidance. They seek mentors.

This is very important.

In Chinese metaphysics, we often talk about 贵人 luck. 贵人 are helpful people, mentors, supporters, advisors, or people who appear at the right time to open a path for you.

But here is the part many people forget:

贵人 do not like arrogant people.

If you think you already know everything, nobody can teach you anything.

If your ego is bigger than your bank account, the universe will often send you a very expensive lesson.

Having a mentor does not mean you are weak. It means you are wise enough to shorten your learning curve.

A mentor can help you avoid bad projects, wrong timing, emotional buying, weak calculations, and expensive mistakes. Sometimes, one piece of advice can save you years of pain.

In Feng Shui, we often say that when a person’s 气场 is open and humble, opportunities can enter more easily. But when the heart is full of jealousy, anger, and pride, the energy becomes blocked.

This is why humility is not just a virtue.

Humility is a wealth strategy.

4. He Avoids Habits That Destroy Cash Flow

The fourth lesson is very practical.

To build wealth, it is not enough to earn more.

You must also stop leaking money.

In Feng Shui, this is called 漏财. Wealth leakage does not only happen because of bad house layout or a toilet in the wrong sector. Sometimes, the biggest wealth leakage is not in the house.

It is in the person.

Some people earn well, but their habits drain everything.

Drinking too much.
Gambling.
Constant nightlife.
Siam diu flower-hanging until the wallet becomes a dried leaf.
Expensive hobbies with no control.
Buying things just to impress people who do not even care.
Taking reckless risks because they want quick excitement.

All these habits weaken cash flow.

If your income is strong but your discipline is weak, wealth cannot stay.

财来财去，最后只剩下故事。
Money comes, money goes, and in the end, only the story remains.

A person who wants to build a serious property portfolio needs holding power. Holding power comes from income, savings, discipline, and low unnecessary leakage.

This is not glamorous, but it works.

Sometimes the difference between someone who builds assets and someone who only talks about building assets is not intelligence.

It is habits.

5. Stop Pointing Fingers and Start Learning

When someone becomes successful at a young age, people often react emotionally.

Some feel inspired.
Some feel uncomfortable.
Some feel attacked by another person’s achievement.

But another person’s success is not an insult to your life.

If he can do it, it does not mean you must do exactly the same thing. It means success is possible when the right personality, timing, discipline, knowledge, and strategy come together.

You may not own 13 properties.

Maybe your path is to own two strong properties.
Maybe your path is to build a business.
Maybe your path is to grow a strong personal brand.
Maybe your path is to become excellent in sales.
Maybe your path is to invest in something more liquid.
Maybe your path is to build wealth through skills, content, leadership, or services.

Everyone is different.

This is why BaZi is useful.

BaZi does not exist to tell you, “You cannot do this.”
It exists to help you understand how you should do things.

Some people need speed.
Some people need structure.
Some people need partnerships.
Some people should avoid partnerships.
Some people can take calculated risk.
Some people must build slowly and defensively.
Some people are strong in sales but weak in saving.
Some people are strong in planning but weak in execution.

When you understand your own strengths and obstacles, you stop wasting energy comparing with others.

You start building your own path.

Success Is Not Always Luck

Of course, we must be fair.

Some people are born with more support.
Some people have better family background.
Some people have better timing.
Some people meet the right mentor earlier.
Some people start with advantages.

But even with advantages, a person can still destroy everything through bad decisions.

Likewise, even without advantages, a person can still slowly build something meaningful through discipline, patience, and correct strategy.

So when we see someone successful, instead of immediately saying, “He is lucky,” maybe we should ask better questions.

What did he study?
What risks did he avoid?
What habits did he control?
What mentors did he learn from?
What personality traits helped him?
What can we apply to our own life?

This is a more productive way to look at success.

Jealousy gives you nothing.
Learning gives you direction.

Final Thoughts From Master Chase

The story of a 30-year-old real estate agent owning 13 properties, including a coffee shop, is impressive.

But the real value is not in staring at the number 13.

The real value is understanding the structure behind the achievement.

He appears to be prudent in choosing defensive assets.
He seems to have the patience and stability needed for property investment.
He understands the value of mentorship.
He likely avoids habits that destroy cash flow.
Most importantly, he seems to know how to play a long-term game.

In Feng Shui and BaZi, wealth is not only about chasing opportunities.

It is about alignment.

Your personality must align with your strategy.
Your investments must align with your risk profile.
Your habits must align with your goals.
Your timing must align with your actions.
Your energy must align with the life you are trying to build.

So before we criticise someone else’s success, maybe we should pause and reflect.

Are we learning?
Are we improving?
Are we building?
Are we controlling our own wealth leakage?
Are we humble enough to seek guidance?

Because the truth is, everyone has their own path to wealth.

He can do it his way.

You can do it your way.

But first, you must stop pointing fingers long enough to use your hands to build something.
