1. Desire

Before we get into the bolts and nails of real estate investing, I want to talk to you about desire. If you are going to be successful at anything in life, including real estate investing, you have to have the desire to do it. Desire is defined as longing or craving for something that brings satisfaction or enjoyment. Desire stresses the strength of feeling and often implies a strong intention or aim. In real estate investing, if you don’t desire to learn and grow as a human being and get satisfaction out of it, then real estate investing will be hard.

When I go out and look at a property, it brings me a lot of enjoyment. Every aspect brings me joy, from talking to homeowners, figuring out how to make a deal, buying the house, and finding a good homeowner or tenant. Real estate investing may not be for everyone, but real estate investing can offer anyone the financial freedom we crave. If you do not desire real estate investing, that is okay, and it can still help you live your dreams and help you get where you want to go in the future.

Why is real estate investing an amazing avenue for anyone to live out all of their dreams? Let me ask you a few questions. Do you have enough money to do anything you want? Do you have everything you want? No debt? A nice house? Great Marriage? The freedom to do anything regardless of how much it costs and the time it takes? If you have all these things, you are among the few people in America. Most people may work fifty hours a week and make enough to pay their bills.

Most people live paycheck to paycheck today, never really knowing if they will make enough to pay the bills that keep piling up. If you cannot keep up with your monthly bills, how will you plan for retirement, send your kids to college, or have time to enjoy life? The answer to all of these questions is becoming financially free. Now, it’s not going to be easy. Everyone must get off the couch and out of their comfort zone. Real estate is one of the fastest ways to get out of the rat race of the nine to five and begin living the life you deserve. Everyone wants something different out of their life. Some dream of traveling the world, spending more time with family, volunteering, golfing, lying on a beach, giving back to the community, or anything that will make them happy. There are thousands of things that make people happy.

Making it in real estate takes a person who has a strong desire to change their lives for the better and think big. Anyone can become a great real estate investor. It will take a lot of work and can be a struggle at times, but in the end, it will be the most amazing feeling ever. The people that make it in real estate investing all have a few things in common. First, they run their real estate investing business like any other. Second, they get out there and network with anyone and everyone.

Some people might be like me and have difficulty talking to others. If you are okay, anyone can learn how to become a people person; it just takes hard daily work. You have to push yourself past your comfort zone. The third thing is that you cannot be afraid to fail. Everyone has failed at something, but the most successful people learn from their failures. The fourth thing is that you have to put a good team together. I will go into putting a team together in a later chapter.

The concept of putting a team together is so that when you don’t know something, you have team members who know what to do and can help you with questions. They can also make sure that you are not working yourself to death. You do not want to be the person doing everything in your business. Doing everything is a recipe for failure. It would help if you put together good people you can trust and rely on. The fifth thing is that you need a mentor. Sixth and final is the desire to do it. No one can become successful at something if they don’t want to do it and don’t get satisfaction out of what they are doing.
