I hope you had a spectacular weekend!
Things have been going great here at Investor Wealth Academy, and we are very excited about some major developments coming down the line for us later this summer.
More on that later.
Last Friday I was on the phone with a perspective client of ours. Let's call him "Jeff". Now, I have to be honest with you here, what Jeff had to say during our conversation was very bothersome to me, and by the end of the call I finally had to tell him that before we Could help him succeed, he'd have to change his perception about the Business.
After thinking about his comments all weekend I realized that Jeff's limiting beliefs are probably more common than I'd like to admit. But how can I help people change their perceptions?
Then, I was browsing around in my neighborhood Barnes & Noble yesterday, looking for a good read, when the newest edition of TIME magazine caught my attention!
Now I usually don't read TIME, but a headline on the cover caught my attention: Home Sweet Home ? Why We're Going Gaga Over Real Estate"
I grabbed it and found some interesting numbers you need to hear.
WARNING: IF YOU ARE ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE THAT USES THE REAL ESTATE MARKET AS AN EXCUSE FOR A LACK OF SUCCESS, THIS INFORMATION WILL SHOCK YOU!
Real estate values are appreciating like wildfire across the country. The time to be investing in real estate is right now. Look at these statistics that the Time article provided:
House Price Percentage Increases
Market 5 Years 1 Year Washington, D.C. 108.1% 22.2% California 103% 5.4% Rhode Island 97.6% 17.1% Nevada 84.7% 31.2% Hawaii 82.9% 24.4% Florida 80.5% 21.4% Maryland 77.9% 21.0% New Jersey 76.5% 15.8% New Hampshire 72.3% 12.1% Massachusetts 71.8% 11.6%
As Lou and I travel the country speaking in various cities around the country, We hear a recurrent comment that goes something like this: "I know investing in real estate works where you live, but I live in a Sellers' (or Buyers') market. It doesn't work here"
Yet their local investors' association is filled with people making money right in their city. What's different between them?
Simple, It's just their attitude.
Whether you live in a sellers' or a buyers' market, you can make a killing in real estate! Look at the appreciation that is occurring across the country. You may need to adjust your strategies for the marketplace, but either way the profit potential is there. If it is a buyers' market, then motivated sellers are having even more difficulty disposing of their unwanted property. What an opportunity for you to solve their problem, and create an incredible profit margin.
Motivated sellers usually do not realize they're in a sellers' market. You have to Improve and increase your marketing to find the motivated sellers before they Get educated about the market. When you create these deals, you'll have absolutely no trouble selling ? it's a sellers' market.
The point is, don't allow yourself excuses. Look at every market condition as a new opportunity. The ones that truly get wealthy are those that can thrive regardless of the external environment. Become a thriver!
I hope you have an INCREDIBLE investing week!
