That’s a loaded question!
It frustrates me that the media and business opportunities make investing in real estate seem so easy and achievable for anyone with 500 bucks to their name. Investing in real estate is not something that should be taken lightly or jump into feet-first on a whim. Think about it, you could be taking your life savings and your credit on a chance to possibly make some money. I’m not trying to discourage you, however, my point is you should not do this lightly. Investing in real estate takes thought, research, education, and a well thought out plan. Share on X
Thought
Yes, I am suggesting THINKING! Sounds simple, but so often new investors are so focused on the end game, the profit potential, the dollar signs… that they don’t stop to think through all the factors of making a big decision.
Research
Another mistake I have seen new investors make is taking others word for it without doing their own research. Take time and do the work to be informed about every piece of information about the investment property that you can get your hands on. It’s not possible to learn everything but use available tools – like the INTERNET to know enough to make an informed decision.
Education
Plan
You’re probably thinking why do I have a real estate blog about investing in real estate if I’m going to discourage people to do it, right? Well, I actually started this blog to educate people and encourage them to invest in real estate the right way.
