How to Effectively Network to Build Your Net Worth

Monday, April 27th, 2009

No Comments »

Real Estate NetworkingNetworking has been a VITAL component over the years in both team building and private money getting.

But it has become apparent to me that most real estate investors greatly discount the value of networking. Just by being active in my local real estate investors club in my town, I’ve forged lasting relationships with wholesalers, bird dogs, private lenders, attorneys, mortgage brokers, agents, contractors . . . you name it! Which has translated into countless deals and profits! I would say that 80% of my team was built through people I met just at REIA meetings.

Sooooo I think that many people just flat out undervalue networking and another reason people don’t profit from building a solid network is because they’ve never been taught an effective way to build relationships and get to know people . . . and then there are people who are introverted and don’t come out of there shell to introduce themselves to anyone . . . you know, the person that gets to the meeting, sits down right when they get there, doesn’t talk to anyone, and leaves as soon as it’s over . . .

If this is you, I’m here to tell you that you’re MISSING OUT BIG TIME!! . . . If you’ve been unable to turn your networking efforts (or lack of them) into big time profits, no worries … I’m about to give you a simple formula you can put to use immediately so that your network builds your net worth! How about that!!

Use the structure below to guide your conversations as you meet new people . . .

Private Money for Real Estate InvestingWould it make a difference in your real estate investing business if you had an unlimited source of capital to fund your deals? Let’s just say you had access to a million dollars in private money at your disposal . . . what kind of profits could you turn that into by doing great real estate deals? How would that affect your lifestyle?

He just locked up access to a million dollar credit line from a private investor and is about to go gangbusters in his market down in Florida.

Anyway, let’s dive right in and get to the meat and potatoes . . . because that could just as easily have been you! You can have access to all the cash you need for your real estate deals . . .

How to Get Around Lack of Experience and Credibility

Tuesday, April 21st, 2009

1 Comment »

This is something that every real estate investor faces when getting started . . .

“How do I get around a lack of credibility when talking to sellers if I’ve never purchased an investment property? What do I say when someone asks me about my experience . . . or lack thereof? How should I go about getting private money to finance my deals without a proven track record? HELP!!!!”

Ok . . . calm down . . . every real estate investor has gotten past these seeming roadblocks to success. Keyword in the last sentence “seeming.” The lack of experience and credibility factor is much more of a mental obstacle than anything. But let’s break down the common areas where your lack of experience and credibility may be questioned and give you a structure to over this objection.

Applying Principles from “As a Man Thinketh” to Real Estate Investing

Friday, April 17th, 2009

5 Comments »

There is an excellent little book that dispenses loads of wisdom called “As a Man Thinketh” by James Allen. If you haven’t read it, go buy the book immediately! It’s a VERY easy and quick read and every sentence is like a seminar. I often find myself having to put the book down to internalize the enormity of what’s being said.

I read it about once a year and luckily, one of my good buddies was talking about it the other day which motivated me to pick it up and read it again.

I’d like to share a few quotes from the book and see how we can relate them to real estate investing . . .

“Men are anxious to improve their circumstances, but are unwilling to improve themselves; they therefore remain bound.”
