So, very quickly this morning, I wanted to write a post outlining exactly what you, as a newbie, need to do to succeed in real estate.

It's relatively simple, but we as humans like to make things complex.

Ready?

Buy a house.

Whatever it takes for you to make an intelligent (read: good investment) decision about purchasing a house is what you need to do.

To get to that point, you don't need to:

• Read more, unless you don't have the correct information.  Then, read enough to get educated for the sole purpose of taking the action necessary.
• Make business cards.
• Make a website
• Start a company
• perform all the other myriad of tasks that keep you occupied and away from the main objective of purchasing a house.

You do need to:

• Go look at houses
• Analyze your farm area
• Make offers on houses
• Buy houses

I am speaking now directly to the new person now that has been here for months or years.

Why are you here?  How long more do you choose to take before you do what matters?

Do what matters.  Drop all the rest.  

It will be scary.  Your hands will shake.  You will pee your pants all the way through, metaphorically speaking.  We all go through it.

It will get easier.

But, you have to take the first action.  

What are you waiting for?  Nobody is going to reach out and grab you by the hand.  Take the action you know is necessary.  Take the action that will equal the betterment of your future.  Take the action.  Take the action.  Take the action.

Stop living on the sidelines.

Keep rockin'.
