Surround Yourself With Like-Minded People
Real estate investing can be “creative” and a bit non-traditional, which means that this profession won’t appear on the Forbes top 100 professions. Because those participating in real estate don’t often do so by working for a Developer or as a realtor, investing as an independent isn’t a mainstream career choice. Thus, most people you speak with will tell you it won’t work. Some of your friends might even ask if you bought a course from a late-night television “guru.” They may even laugh and call you “gullible.” Attorneys and other professionals may denounce it because it sounds unusual.
The first thing you should do is subscribe to any portal that will provide you with information on the market this will allow you to understand trends. Also look at what others are doing and follow them this will allow you to know what your competition is doing. Finally keep tabs on new developers launches and property brokers. All this will help you keep your thoughts in the right place and prove to you that investing with a plan really does work. You will be connected to investors that have had great successes, those that can share what they learned from their not so successful deals, and to those who are just starting out in the business, just like you.
