Real Estate Investing For Your Future

Everyone wants to be rich, right? Well, actually, everyone says they want to be rich. But few people want to actually take responsibility for taking control of their future. And that’s what you have to do in order to get rich: Take control.

Easier said than done, right? Not really. There is so much literature on the bookshelves about how to do it, anyone can learn how. And that is the key. You have to learn. You have to educate yourself. If you think that there is simply too much material out there and you wouldn’t know where to start, then you can stop worrying, because you’re already making yourself financially smarter. Simply by visiting this site and reading these articles, you are giving yourself an important education that will give you the tools to take control of your financial future. You are one step closer to being rich.

Not only are you one step closer to being rich, but I am going to tell you what you would learn if you were to read every single book in the financial section of the book store. It’s not about complex accounting principles or Wall Street magic. You can hire professionals to take care of those kinds of details for you. What you will gain from truly learning how to get rich is this: You have to change your thinking habits.

That’s it. The fact of the matter is, you only have to get out of the habit of thinking like an employee and start thinking like an investor.

I’ll give you a moment to digest that one. It’s such a simple concept, it can take you by surprise. But it’s true. Just think about the kinds of conversations you and your fellow employees tend to have when you’re talking about your jobs: ?If only the boss would let me do this.? Or how about, ?I can’t do that?I’d lose my 401K!? The employee mindset is a fearful one, dependent on the system to take care of them. Oh sure, they put in the hours so they can have a roof over their head. And that’s exactly what they get?a roof over their head. Maybe a two-week vacation once a year if they’re lucky.

If you want more than that?to be rich, for example?you have to start thinking like the people who control the money. Think like the people who work smart, not hard. With a little thought, you can figure out how to make your money work for you.

Now, who are the people who work like that, who actually control the flow of money in our economy? You might be tempted to say ?corporations,? and you would be right to an extent. But corporations are not people: They are financial entities. Think about the people behind the entities and you are on the right track.

That’s right?the businesspeople. But they are only near the top of the food chain. If you go to the very top, what you find is…investors.

Investors are at the top of the food chain because they know how to make their money work for them, instead of slaving for their money. And they are laughing all the way to the bank because they know what a simple concept it is. They know that anyone could do it. And they know that most people won’t because they are stuck thinking like employees. The sad thing for most people is that they will never break that habit. You don’t have to be one of them.

All you have to do to become one of the big fish is invest. It’s that simple. Investing in real estate is a good bet because it’s a stable investment. It’s so stable, in fact, that the bank will actually lend you money to purchase it. No kidding.

That’s the long and short of what you will learn if you read every book available to you on how to start thinking rich and stop thinking secure. They will tell you how easy it is. They will tell you to change your thinking. And they will tell you to let the experts deal with the details.

Is there Greener Grass to Real Estate Investing?

September 15, 2011 by Kenny Santos

This may come as a surprise to you but trust me when I tell you the grass is not always greener on the other side.

What kind of oddball do you think I am here making this type of statement as a real estate investing lesson?

Well, for me this lesson was one of those rather costly, hard learned lessons that I’m sharing with you. This is one of the most basic fundamentals when it comes to investing in real estate that far too many people overlook when on the lookout for their first property or gaining more properties. They believe they’d be better off investing in an area other than their own backyard.

They see all the stories of where someone picked up a property cheap and they think, “I wish I could, I would have if I were in an area like that, blah, blah, blah.” Or they think of the area that has seen double-digit appreciation rates and think “if I was only in an area like that.” The fact is whether you’re in a red-hot market or a slowing market, there’s a way for you to make money investing in real estate. It starts by just realizing that you’ve got opportunity in your own backyard to make this a successful business.

Here’s why:

When you’re thinking of investing in real estate, you’re looking for sellers that have some underlying situation that’s causing them to want to sell. Usually, these sellers have a problem of some sort that’s causing some undue pressure. We call these ‘Motivated Sellers’ and if you’re not attracting motivated seller then you’re wasting your time.

And there’s not an area in the country without motivated sellers!

The problem with thinking the grass is greener in another market keeps you from looking in your own backyard for the next profitable deal.

Even though, this sounds basic, it’s easy to fall into this line of thinking. At one point, I was convinced that I could work another market that was nearly 4 hours from where I lived. I’ve got to confess that this was a costly lesson.

While you can make money in another market, I was stepping over dollars in my own backyard to pick up dimes in a completely different market. See I tried building my business wide instead of building it deep in my own market. Lesson Learned.

See, I want you to focus on your own market, instead of making the mistake of spreading yourself too thin. Once I realized this lesson, I refocused my business and started building it like a business instead of a mom and pop shop. See, so many people are opportunist and just look for wherever they could make a potential buck. Just realize you know more about what’s going on in your own backyard than anywhere else. Also, it’s imperative that you work to build key relationships with people in your business. This was a major problem when attempting to do deals in too many markets - you’ve got to find new contractors, new realtors, new closing agents, and new investors to flip to. It’s like basically starting from scratch in every aspect.

So, the key lesson is to stick to your own backyard and master the system before you even think of looking outside your area.

7 Steps To Make Money In Real Estate Investing

Submitted By: Larry Haines
 
 

#1 Know that you can do it too!

Have you ever stopped to think about who owns all the downtown buildings? Or how about all those apartment complexes you see everywhere? When you see a “For Rent” Sign on a house do you wonder how many more rental houses that guy owns.

Well, the point to these questions is to say that you can be one of the millions of people that own rental real estate too? That actually comes as a surprise to some people and that is why the title above says KNOW that you can do it too! You can and you should. Let me repeat that. You can and you should.

There are plenty of excuses people use to say; “well, I can’t do that” and as the saying goes - “You either can or you can’t, either way you are right!” Here’s what I want you to do. Just below write out the first few “I can’t” reasons. I’ll even get you started…

What if you could turn it around so there were no excuses, no more “I can’t”? Wouldn’t that allow you to achieve your goal of financial freedom? Wouldn’t that allow you to create the result of buying properties below market value so you could make money time after time?

What we intend to do is what we will ultimately get. The more clear the intention, the better chance we will do the things necessary to get it. For instance, if you say; “I want to invest in real estate”, that intention is very vague and not easily acted upon. However if you can describe what kind of real estate you want it becomes much clearer and much more likely to happen.

As an example, if you say; “I want to own a rental duplex in the hospital district with each side being 3 bedrooms and 2 baths and it needs to cash flow at least $150 per side and I don’t want to pay more than $10,000 down and would love owner financing”, you are much more likely to find what you are looking for.

Is it easier to believe that you can own a duplex in the hospital district or that someday you want to be rich? Your mind will help you be successful if you truly believe and articulate what you want in detail.

#2 Begin with the end in mind

In Stephen Covey’s book “The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People”, habit number one is “Be Proactive”. You’re being proactive just by reading this article. You’re taking action. Habit number 2 is “Begin with the end in mind”. Set a goal. Know what you want and plan how to get there.

So many would be investors don’t have a road map to where they want to end up so they don’t end up anywhere. THIS IS A CRITICAL STEP!!

There is a major difference between investing in real estate and being a real estate investor. By inheriting a property or buying a house that pays you $2 per month, you are an owner of an investment property. (Many people actually loose money each month because they didn’t buy right but that is another story). Technically, they are invested in real estate.

But they are not real estate investors. They don’t have a plan of accumulating wealth with strategies and tactics that get them there over time. (Sorry, this is not a get rich quick opportunity…lottery tickets sold elsewhere).

A plan should have realistic goals. For instance, if your desire is to retire wealthy, what do you mean by “retire wealthy”. Be very specific. I have one client that defines it as “I want my wife to be able to stay home and I don’t want to have to work. I need about $6,000 to pay my bills and I want to be able to do some traveling so I want $10,000 per month”

You should have a long term goal of 10 - 15 years or more; medium term goals in the 5 - 10 year time horizon and shorter term goals in the 2 - 5 year range and immediate goals that define what you are going to do this year. Let’s take a look at a sample of this…

A 52 yr. old working male with a wife that works as a teacher might start with basic goals as follows:

10 year goal

retire at 62 with no reduction in lifestyle [so they need to replace $82,000/year income ($6,834 per month) which might take 10-12 free and clear houses generating cash flow in the $500 - $600/month range]

5 year goalOwn 15 housing units (could be apartment or duplex generating at least $150/unit in free cash flow ($2,250) to retire my wife to be looking for real estate full time).

Own Real Estate in my self Directed IRA - grows tax deferred or even tax free if using a ROTH
2 year goalBe buying 3-4 housing units/year (one per quarter? in appreciating areas).
ImmediateGet in depth education from local investors doing deals in my area.

Join the local REIA - Real Estate Investors Association.

Understand my financial situation - set a household budget, savings & Investment plan, income statement and balance sheet (which you will need for loans anyway).

Develop a buying criteria - (what do you want to buy, where, how much, what condition, how big, etc).

Find an investor friendly real estate agent (to help me find property that fits my criteria).

NOTE: this is just a summary of goals while a real plan is more in depth & detailed.

#3 Model success - Another way to say this is “don’t recreate the wheel”. If 8,000,000 people have already done something and hundreds of thousands are currently doing it too, DON’T TRY TO MAKE IT UP AS YOU GO!

There are many real estate investors that are happy to share their experience over a cup of coffee or lunch (you buy of course). The investors I have been privileged to know are a caring, sharing group of people that want to give back and help people. That’s how I got interested.

Now let’s talk specifics. If you were going to go into the hamburger business would your chance of success be better if you were starting your own burger place or buying into a big name franchise?

Assuming all things were equal, you wouldn’t have to develop all the systems and training for your own business if you went the franchise way. You would have the expertise of people that have been there and made mistakes and refined their systems and processes to improve the business. You would have the help of other franchise owners in your area to let help you get started and to talk with about local business trends and situations and on and on….

The point of this is to find out what other successful people are doing and model them. Don’t recreate the wheel. If your advertising isn’t working to generate leads, find someone that has a “lead generation machine” and copy what they are doing. (Please don’t infringe on copyrights, etc). But if they have a web page driving lead traffic, you should consider it. If they are putting signs out, you should consider it. If they are doing direct mail, you might give it a try. I think you get the point.

Look at every process as you find, fund, fix and flip real estate and break down the components to business processes and then put a system around the process to help you make it more efficient and more manageable.

#4 Focus, Focus, Focus

Lack of focus is probably the single biggest cause of new investor failure that I have seen. Every month people are buying new books and tapes from the circuit guru that flies into town for the REIA meeting or some big name putting on their own event. I’m not saying that you shouldn’t expose yourself to different techniques to buying and/or selling property but most people have a “flavor of the month” investing technique that they get excited about and don’t ever focus creating a business (being a real estate investor).

Look at your resources, network of people and resources, time you have and level of difficulty and commitment to do a specific type of transaction. You should pick one that considers your time and resources and then get really good at it.

#5 Take action

You don’t have to be good to begin, but you have to begin to be good. This is the shortest section here. TAKE ACTION! Do something. One of my bible study teachers used to say to me after I asked so many questions was; “Larry, Just get a mitt and get into the game!” Translation for real estate investors….”Just get out there and make offers”. You can’t make money until you get a contract that is signed by the seller, right?

#6 Build a team of experts
You’ll want to have a team of experts on your site and should have a title attorney, CPA, property manager, appraiser, and contractor all in place.

#7 Make offers!

You can learn a lot and not make money. You can plan a lot and not make money. You can network with hundreds of people and not make money. You can attend meeting after meeting and conference call after conference call and not make money.

Start making offers and start making some money. How many? How about 1 a day to start and then get up to 50-100 per month? Believe it or not, at some point someone will accept one of your offers and you’ll be “off to the races”.

That’s it. The fact of the matter is, you only have to get out of the habit of thinking like an employee and start thinking like an investor.

I’ll give you a moment to digest that one. It’s such a simple concept, it can take you by surprise. But it’s true. Just think about the kinds of conversations you and your fellow employees tend to have when you’re talking about your jobs: ?If only the boss would let me do this.? Or how about, ?I can’t do that?I’d lose my 401K!? The employee mindset is a fearful one, dependent on the system to take care of them. Oh sure, they put in the hours so they can have a roof over their head. And that’s exactly what they get?a roof over their head. Maybe a two-week vacation once a year if they’re lucky.

If you want more than that?to be rich, for example?you have to start thinking like the people who control the money. Think like the people who work smart, not hard. With a little thought, you can figure out how to make your money work for you.

Now, who are the people who work like that, who actually control the flow of money in our economy? You might be tempted to say ?corporations,? and you would be right to an extent. But corporations are not people: They are financial entities. Think about the people behind the entities and you are on the right track.

That’s right?the businesspeople. But they are only near the top of the food chain. If you go to the very top, what you find is…investors.

Investors are at the top of the food chain because they know how to make their money work for them, instead of slaving for their money. And they are laughing all the way to the bank because they know what a simple concept it is. They know that anyone could do it. And they know that most people won’t because they are stuck thinking like employees. The sad thing for most people is that they will never break that habit. You don’t have to be one of them.

All you have to do to become one of the big fish is invest. It’s that simple. Investing in real estate is a good bet because it’s a stable investment. It’s so stable, in fact, that the bank will actually lend you money to purchase it. No kidding.

That’s the long and short of what you will learn if you read every book available to you on how to start thinking rich and stop thinking secure. They will tell you how easy it is. They will tell you to change your thinking. And they will tell you to let the experts deal with the details.
