Questions for the Real Estate Investing Expert Panel

No Comments »

Last night, I was on the expert panel at the Charleston Real Estate Investing Association meeting. There were seven of us on the panel and each time a question was asked, we would go down the line and answer it. I thought I would share a few of the questions that were asked and my answers . . .

What was your biggest challenge?

I took this to mean, “What was my biggest challenge when getting started?”

Two things here:

1) Self Limiting Beliefs

One of the self limiting beliefs that I had to conquer was in reference to my age. I got started investing when I was still in college at the age of 22 . . . and I look young for my age. Soooooo, I could have passed for 16 probably.

Getting past this mental roadblock was one of the first challenges that I had to face. I eventually realized that it was all in my head. If I thought it to be a limiting factor, it was.

Which reminds me of the classic quote from Henry Ford, “If you think you can do a thing or think you can’t do a thing, you’re right.”

No matter what your age, background, race, gender, or financial situation . . . you can become a real estate investor! Period!

2) Taking the First Action

For me, making that first phone call was difficult and I procrastinated for months. But, it didn’t have to be because I’m the one that made it that way.

No matter how “educated” you are . . . your true education as a real estate investor starts when you make that first call, kick off your marketing plan, go on your first appointment, make your first offer, and close your first deal.

You’ll learn far more through the action you take than studying concepts, techniques, and theories.

Local Real Estate Investor Hits a Home Run Deal

No Comments »

This video is a testament that good deals are made not born. They are created not with your eyes but with your mind. The exact same lead could go to two different investors and one may disqualify the lead while the other hits a homerun with it.

Wil Christenson had a lead that was referred to him by another investor and at first, didn’t think too much of it. UNTIL, he inquired further and checked out the property with his own eyes. This deal has all the attributes that every creative real estate investor looks for: little to no cash in the deal, financing is in someone else’s name, good positive cash flow, equity, and he already found a tenant!!

Check out the video so Wil can explain exactly how the deal unfolded . . .
