Real Estate versus the Pain of Discipline and the Pain of Regret


It is often said, “A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step”
John Maxwell said, “Success is a journey”
When you combine the two great quotes: The success journey begins with a first step. This first step is what most people are afraid of taking because this step is what separates abundance from failure. I know you would say it sounds cliché, but it is the truth. No one said the road would be smooth all the way. I write this because it was something I learnt over the years and it was not a smooth road for me then, I almost gave up.
As a sales professional, you should understand that there are two kinds of pain in real estate: The pain of discipline and the pain of regret.
The pain of discipline involves lead generation, lead follow up and prospecting which actually seems really difficult for most of us, but when you try and take that step to actually follow up on the leads you generate, you definitely will get results. YES, you may experience potential rejection at first, but do not get discouraged. Trust me the real estate industry will test you and try you emotionally {you will transform your attitude, confidence, enthusiasm}.
To take the pain of discipline, you have to pursue with a single-minded purpose. It is only when you continue in that path would you be only to transform it into desire. You see real estate is a business that will reward you in the long run if you commit to long haul { A lot of newbies don’t understand this because they expect a maximum return, minimum gain}.
Real estate is the vehicle, you are the driver, and you alone determine how far you want to drive to get to your destination. There is beauty in real estate because it grooms you into a powerful, business-minded individual and someone who can think quickly on his/her feet. It will force you to master communication in your interaction with people.
Real estate is like a diamond, it is going to take a lot of pressure and force, but if you can withstand it and understand that it is part of the process, you will turn into a diamond. Because you have performed.

How to Determine the Highest and Best Use for Land

When it comes to land acquisition – one of the most important factors in getting this number reasonably accurate is to understand the “highest and best use” for a property. The question of a property's highest and best use is something all appraisers aim to address – and the issue is particularly relevant to appraisers and investors who are working with vacant land. When a vacant lot doesn't have any pre-existing improvements on it, there can be many potential uses for the property (depending on how the owner wants to use it, and what the local zoning regulations will allow), but even when there are several possibilities, there is only ONE highest and best use. Highest and best use is always the use that would produce the highest value for a property, regardless of its current use. The reasonably probable and legal use of vacant land or an improved property that is physically possible, appropriately supported, financially feasible, and that results in the h...

Why Real Estate is The Safest Investment Option In Nigeria

It takes money to make money . Someone once told me to forget about building wealth if I wasn’t willing to take the risk of investing in long-term ventures. They are typically two types of investments: long-term investments and short-term investments. Each option comes with its benefits and the level of risk involved. Typically the economy you find yourself in determines the sort of business you should invest in. Nigeria, for instance, is an emerging, middle-income, mixed economy with rapidly expanding manufacturing, financial, service, communications, technology, entertainment and real-estate sectors. Although fairly stable, the Nigerian economy is immensely influenced by its political stability and transference of power. Each political tenor typically comes with new policies and in most cases hinders the furtherance of the past tenor’s developments. In a country that typically operates like this, investing in real estate is one of the few safe investment options that har...
