1. Treat your real estate investing like a regular business.  A lot of people fail because they treat their rental(s) like a hobby. It sounds obvious, but it’s surprising how many mom and pop landlords are guilty of this.
  2. Know what motivates you and have a plan based on that. Why are you investing in real estate? Do you have a plan for how your new income will help you achieve some specific goals? Having a detailed plan with goals makes it much easier to stay motivated and committed to following through.
  3. Build systems for every aspect of your investing business. It’s important to be organized and know how all the regular operations of your business will be handled.
  4. Automate every system that you possibly can. This will save you a lot of time and frustration in the long run. You can use all that newfound free time to find your next property!
  5. Build a great team around you. They will make up for your own shortcomings and help you to succeed. It’s hard to manage a portfolio of more than 1 or 2 properties without some outside help. Especially if you still have a full time job or another side gig. Check out my post about real estate team members here; https://dwellogic.com/10-team-members-every-real-estate-investor-should-have/
