It has been said that most of the world's millionaires got that way through real estate. Real estate investment brings solid returns and should be included in any investment portfolio. When you are ready to make a move to level up your financial life, real estate investment should be one of the first places you look! Where to Begin Making that first investment might be one of the most difficult moments in your investment career. Like a bird jumping from a branch for the first time, an investor making his first purchase must have confidence in their preparation and their ability to safely land. Before making any investment purchase, you will want to have done your own independent research. Study the market, similar properties and look for a mentor you can shadow to learn the ropes first-hand. Knowing Who To Trust When investing in real estate, you will meet a lot of people who want to do business with you. Whether you are buying or selling, it can be difficult to know who to trust. Make sure to do your due-diligence. Make sure this person doesn't have a history of bad deals or unsatisfied customers. It can be very beneficial to make strong contacts, creating a circle of people you can trust. Within this circle, you will want to include a CPA, a lawyer, an agent, and ideally a mentor who is experienced in real estate investing and can help show you the ropes. There are many great resources to learn about real estate investing today including websites such as Bigger Pockets or local real estate investing clubs - you will likely be able to find one in your area if you live in or around a large city. Leveraging What You Have Once you have your foot in the door, it is time to start building... figuratively, and quite possibly literally. You can start small, and over time, turn it into something much, much bigger. Maybe you purchase a piece of land, and sell it for a profit, and reinvest that in a small home. You take the rental proceeds you receive from the home each month and invest with others in a shopping center. You get the idea. It is all about taking your initial profits and building from there. Using Other People's Money When you own investment real estate, you are, in essence, using other people’s money to facilitate your investments, very often via a loan from a bank. You can collect tenants’ rent each month which will pay for the mortgage on the house and quite possibly have some cash left over to put elsewhere. You can also pool your investment with others to purchase something you might not have been able to do on your own. Giving Back Once you have achieved success in real estate investment, one of the most enjoyable things you can do is to give back to other "green" investors who were once in your shoes. There is enough to go around for everyone and by sharing what you know, you help pass down the dream of wealth through real estate. Take Action You need to spend some time learning and studying about real estate and you don’t want to jump into anything too quickly. But you also don’t want to get stuck in “analysis paralysis” and spend all your time trying to learn about new things without taking action steps along the way. The best way to learn is by doing, and finding ways to take small, actionable steps frequently. Your knowledge will soon grow and you’ll be on your way. So don’t wait any longer - go out there and find an action that you can accomplish today!
