- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!
- 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/
