Have Passion?

Wednesday, November 19

Many people ask me how I became successful with Real Estate investing. Now I can point to deals, knowledge, etc. I could show them rehabs, happy tenants and bank accounts.

I could walk them through the countless seminars, books, etc that I accumulated or attended through the years, but in reality none of these was the true root cause of my success.

We have all heard people say that it isn't work if you love it. Well that couldn't be more true and more importantly should be the guiding concept for EVERYONE in this world.

DO WHAT YOU LOVE!!!

I can't stress that enough. I love real estate. I love buying property. I get a thrill when I have a day set up to go through potential deals. I walk in an out of like 15-20 homes in a day and at the end of the day, putting together the numbers for the offer.

Watching the contractors go to town on Demo then returning the home to a livable condition. Running an open house for potential tenants and seeing their eyes light up at how amazing the home is.

Then dealing with the appraiser to show them the love that was put into the home so he/she will value it correctly and do the refinance for me.

Can you tell I love this stuff? The question is.... DO YOU? If you are just in it because you heard you could make money, here is a little secret. YOU CAN MAKE MONEY DOING ANYTHING. It's true, you can. Think about the FOAM FINGER at sporting events. That made someone money. How about the Wacky Wall Walkers.. this made money for someone.

You see, it isn't about what you do, it is that you LOVE IT!
