Want to know what YOU should be doing in Real Estate Investing?
The largest problem I have seen real estate investors, both new and weathered, ask is, "What should I be doing?"
You've been invited to Than Merrill's investment talks at a local hotel, you watch all the flipping shows, you see people buying vacation property, your uncle knows a guy who only invests in multifamily homes, and you heard about some kid buying a huge apartment building with none of his own money. So, what shinny object should you chase? This my friends is the BIGGEST question of them all.
I am about to give you the most valuable advice I could give anyone. But, I don't have the answer for you, All I have, my friends, is a question.
Who are you as a real estate investor? You find the answer, you have a solution to the greatest problem in real estate. "What the hell am I supposed to do to get it right?"
The truth is, there are 1000 ways to get it right, and 100 ways to get it wrong. The way to do it best is to leverage your personal strengths, knowledge, and personality type at all your deals.
Everyone has something that they excel at. Some will do great things on their own, others are best partnered with someone who has strengths that accentuate theirs. It is important to be a student of other successful people in the field, note the similarities you may have with them, leverage your differences. YOU can't BE them. But its ok. If we all did the same deals the competition would be ridiculous. This is when you have heard, "Find your Niche". But, everyone has been saying it wrong the whole time...be open to it finding you.
