The Key to Real Estate Success and 5 tips on how to implement in your business
During the boom, investors made profits with all sorts of strategies, even with little knowledge and many mistakes. Those investors may have experienced a rough couple years and may have given up. Here I will discuss the key to break thru and succeed whether a beginner or in a rut.
Are you learning and reading everything you can about real estate? Have you educated yourself on 20 different strategies and you now know how to do all sorts of creative real estate deals? That knowledge will certainly not hurt, but lets focus on one thing that will be the key to consistent long term success in good times and bad. Find Motivated Sellers!
Not just find motivated sellers, find a ton of them. Have them beating down your door begging you to buy there homes and get to the point where you dont need to do a deal with them even if it is a great deal. I see it all the time, beginners or those in a rut have only a few deals they are looking at and the take the best one when it isnt even a good deal. They need the deal to continue to eat, but this often ends in disaster.
Now, you are probably agreeing with me that success will be achieved by having tons of motivated sellers flooding your pipeline consistently whether you are there or not. But how do you do this? Here are some tips to have a consistent flow of motivated sellers coming to you.
1. Direct Mail While you can find deals door knocking and scouring listings, websites, and newspapers this could be very time consuming. Send out direct mail to motivated lists such as foreclosure, out of state owners, expired listings, divorce, probate, etc.
2. Learn Direct Response Marketing educate yourself on direct response marketing and have motivated sellers responding by contacting you.
3. Automate create a system and delegate your direct mail campaign so it happens whether you are there or not.
4. Filter create a system to weed out the duds and only evaluate the prospects that could meet your criteria.
5. Pass it ends up a numbers game, get enough deals and some will be worthy of doing. If you are not getting enough deals, pass and improve your direct mail and marketing strategy.

Bridging the gap between learning and doing
Have you attended seminars, read and learned about real estate? Are you one of the many with nothing to show for it? Have you paid thousands for seminars and coaching but have still yet to do a deal? Do you love the potential real estate investing offers and the resulting lifestyle? Do you get excited?
It is easy to get excited and learn as much about real estate theory as you can. Now applying that knowledge is the tricky part. Have you heard that only 4% of seminar attendees actually do something with their new knowledge? Why are 24/25 people paying thousands of dollars and getting nothing out of it? The answers may surprise you, but best of all this can be overcome so the majority become successful implementing the material.
Do something – First off, some attendees are there because they got excited. They made an emotional purchase and think that deals and money will be thrown at them with zero effort and zero commitment. So the number one thing to bridge the gap between learning and doing is DO SOMETHING and COMMIT!
Have a plan Take what you have learned and create a very focused strategy and become a master at that strategy. If you only have 10 hours a week, avoid spending 2 hours on 5 strategies and spend all 10 on one killer strategy. You will become an expert.
Find a mentor or partner Find an expert in your strategy that will partner, coach, mentor and guide you towards success.
Have goals It is easy to push this off until next year, or until the kids are not in school or until your big project at work is done. That is not commitment. Write down what it will take to achieve your goals as daily tasks and complete them every day. You will be amazed by what you will accomplish by staying committed to your goals and to do list.
Pick the right strategy Pick a strategy that you can successfully master, mitigate risk and duplicate over and over. Delegate and create a system so you can really duplicate.
Delegate Time a problem, get an assistant or virtual assistant. Have them generate leads and do all the work you do not have time for. If a task does not absolutely positively need your expertise to do it, then delegate.
