Never get stuck with another deal that you can’t sell!
Wow, I talk to so many investors who started in Real Estate with the goal of buying and selling houses yet they ended up being landlords and they hated it. Now I personally love rental houses and own a bunch but listening to these sad stories all the time is what led me to focus solely on finding buyers.
This same experience happened to me where I ended up having to get a loan to buy a house I put under contract and was not able to sell.
Luckily, my mentor told me to forget everything I ever learned about real estate and he took me through the ropes on a new way of investing - finding what people wanted and not what I thought they should have.
Real Estate investing, if you do it full time, is not a hobby that you get in and do on the side like you see on TV where people flip houses and make a bunch of money. Yes you can do it but the TV shows are dramatized crap that does more harm than good in my opinion. They make people think they can go out and get a junker property, put a bunch of money in it, and sell it really fast and make a killing.
Well, lets get real. In the real world you will quickly find out that most of the time it does not work like that. You have to really know what is going to sell before you make a big decision to put time and money in the deal.
The only way to do that is to find the buyers and ask them what they want. It is a very easy process if you know how to set up a system that does it automatically. Learn the secret that most the gurus don’t tell you and that is how to find out what will sell before you buy.
