Real Estate Investing

Be There - Become the Natural Choice in Someone's Mind When They Need to Sell Their Home or Property

One of the cardinal rules of investing in real estate - be there, be there and be there! Maybe that isn't the exact wording but the idea is the same, if you want to become the natural choice in someone's mind when they need to sell their home or commercial property you need to be there every time they turn around. Not you personally, but something reminding them you are there. This isn't unique to the world of the real estate investor, it is used worldwide, if you want to be noticed then people need to see that you are there, just ask Coke and Pepsi or investors in Flagler county Palm Coast area of Florida.

Be there on the bench at the bus stop when they drive by, be in the local football or basketball program when they sit down at the game, and be there on the radio when they drive home from work. Don't limit it to the services that sell to you, like television and radio, go out and get your name on everything you can find. Be on the pen that they use at the grocery store or on the business card that they use to write down a number from the friend they just ran into after 10 years. Anytime your name and sign pops up is an investment in your future.

Learning the ropes of the real estate investor takes time, but can be shortened with a seminar, reading books, study courses and making your first deal. Nothing teaches like experience from mortgages, refinancing, insurance and finding tenants.

The business of investing in real estate is one of those fields people feel more comfortable when they know who the person is, they don't want to take a chance with any shady, "unknown" characters. The more willing you are to put your name in the community the less likely it is you will pass on some bad credit or a check that won't pay. In addition, you will do what is right in the situation and make sure that they get what they want out of the situation as well. Your job is to get to them and the only way to get to them is to be in front of them at all times.

So, get the magnet on your car or wear your name and logo on your shirt, anything you can do to make yourself look more professional and credible as a business person. Real estate investments are not as easy to break into as it may look like on TV, but with the right persistence in the knowing your market and "being there" when the deals come available you can make a bundle of money beyond what you may think is possible.
